Great guy RT @sgw94: Looks like Coach Jones let go strength coach Ron McKeefery whom I know from Bucs & USF. Good man who should get a call

Feldman tweeted that we will move on to our 5th S&C coordinator in the past 6 years.

DUMB move, IMO. Players need some consistency there. Sad about that. Thought keeping him was a no brainier.

Would have like to see him stay. But CBJ has to be in control he will be held responsible for the outcome. The AD can't make him keep some coaches then hold him accountable.

Agree with what you say, but seeing the results that he produced last year was unbelievable.

Yeah, I was disappointed to see that also but Jones has to be able to hire the guys that he is comfortable with.

Good Grief. UT's fan base sometimes. You either want a new coach or you don't. NO COACH IS GOING TO TAKE OVER A JOB AND RETAIN MANY, IF ANY, OF HIS PREDESESSORS STAFF. It's not a dumb move, it's what every professional coach out there would have done. Keeping Graham and maybe 1 other is sort of normal, but these expectations to keep 70% of Dooley's staff is what's a dumb move. It's almost as if your level of experience has never witnessed a coaching change at any level.
Sorry for the VolQuest type rant, but the unreasonable expectations and subsequent complaining throughout this search and now this level of consternation just got to me this morning.

+1 Vol Force completely agree with you
I loved Jay Graham and Pittman and if you look at before and after shots of our players McKeefery was obviously doing his job. But we have gone 5-7 the last two years. There is no one on the previous defensive staff that deserved to stay. And as good as our offense was we were inconsistent at times. Jones has had success with his guys therefore when we hire him if he wants to bring his guys that his choice.

Yup. Very disappointing. Let's see what kind of staff is put together.

I'm disappointed to hear this, but not completely surprised. I hope we retain Graham, Pittman, and Hinshaw.
