The CheckerBoard

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!!! Jay Graham stayed at Jones request and held together a decent recruiting class that would have absolutely fallen apart without his help. Chances are the FSU gig had been on the table back in December but Jay didn't want to shaft his school. I sounds like this is a step up in the coaching ranks and a good career move for him. If it had to happen, thank goodness it is now. We have time to find a new coach and a year to salvage or improve recruiting relationships. It sucks to think a Tennessee alum doesn't want to be here, but as a UT alum, I wish him nothing but the best.

Haha didn't mean to. I know nothing about him. Lol.

I agree. The OC at Florida State left, and Randy Sanders is the Running Backs Coach. Everyone can say what they want, but I'll bet he got a HUGE pay raise, one that you can't pay a RB coach. I say good luck to him. He helped us put together a pretty good team, and should be applauded. If he got, not only a raise, but a promotion, something he wasn't in line for here, than I don't blame him for leaving. That being said.......if he left for a similar position there without a big jump in pay, than I say..."Go Canes!"

hold on there hack, remember, Les Miles or Tricky Nick didnt have SEC experience when they came in, give the guy a chance.

It sure doesnt take much for some people to start tyin the nuce, CBJ hasnt even played a game yet, lets see what happens when he actually does!

He's the first person i thought of to replace Jay. Trooper needs a job and we need a coach.

It is what it is, bring back Trooper. As long as he is clear with the NCAA, I support that hire. Good luck to Coach Graham.

A loss for words....Really? An Alumni? If he hasn't received some massive promotion and pay increase this smacks of total betrayal. Too many bad words come to mind now. Just when it starts to feel like we're getting some positive momentum.... and once again let down. But this time by one of our own!
