I would guess Currie had this deal ironed out since we heard Thomas was leaving weeks beforehand. Maybe Phil said he would honor the deal, not knowing what exactly has been promised from a job description perspective. Anyway, it's a total clusterfrick, whatever happened.

No way anybody at UTK ever told AT that he would have authority over the Head Football Coach and his Staff.

I'm sure it was just football recruiting and administration. (Like at LSU)
