Bruce Feldman, a reporter for FOX Sports and New York Times best-selling author, believes the Vols made a strong hire with Currie.

Darren Rovell, a sports business reporter for ESPN, had glowing remarks about Currie.

Charles Davis, another former Vol who now works for FOX Sports, was optimistic after Currie’s hiring was announced.

Jon Morse, the managing editor for Bring on the Cats, the SB Nation site that covers Kansas State, had this to offer about Currie:
