Fans at last night’s (Wednesday, November 29, 2017) UT men’s basketball game against Mercer made it very clear their feelings for UT Athletic Director John Currie. Fans chanted loudly “Fire Currie” during the game. Crews reportedly tried to turn up the music played in the arena to drown out the chants. During his post game media conference, head basketball coach Rick Barnes said the chants were “disappointing.” The Vols won the game against Mercer 84-60. Athletic Director John Currie is currently in the process of finding a new head football coach to replace Butch Jones who was fired earlier this month.
