It's a business first. I am not happy with him leaving but I cannot fault the man for doing what he feels is best for his career and family. JMO

Agreed.

JMO. Former players do not win games.........VERY few affect recruits now. Sure they are our history but that is just that......History. You think former players are why AU won a title or Ole Miss recruited such a great class or Clemson out recruits us every year almost?
Peyton, EB, and a handful of others really matter........Eric Ainge in the media or Tony Robinson or esp Chuck Smith at this point.
I am far from 10 years old and not sure why you would even hint that too. 41 and have an opinion. I am NOT bashing anyone but Jay Graham for saying YES 2 months ago when he didnt have to say YES.

Something may have changed. You have no idea, yet without knowing, one way or the other, you've chosen to throw a message board temper tantrum.....and even if he was looking 2 months ago, you want the guy to say no without having a job in hand. What rationale adult with bills to pay and other responsibilities does that? By all accounts he did his best in recruting during that period given the job of selling three years worth of losing and the new spread offense.

DC.......of course I am ONLY going on the information that is being reported. IF it comes out that Butch was going to fire him or FSU was paying him 600k vs UT 260k rather than what I am hearing of 350k vs UT probably giving him a new deal very close to that..............ya..........then I will easily say and quickly say that I was wrong. I have no problem admitting when I am wrong. I do it every day to my ex girlfriend that is now loaded rich and looks like she was at the Oscars last night vs who I am dating now

You dont leave YOUR university...you just dont. Complete lack of loyalty and complete TRAITOR.

I guess that makes Butch Jones a traitor. He was a player and alum at Ferris State and was their offense coordinator when he "betrayed" them and left for CMU..

And, obviously, the University doesn't have to reciprocate that loyalty or we would still have Fulmer. Spurrier left Florida and is now coaching at one of their conference rivals. The overreaction and immaturity is beyond belief. It's funny that many people are throwing JG under the bus and pulling his "VFL Status" (whatever that means) based on reports from a guy who basically accused the University and training staff of getting him hooked on pain killers. Guess the memories of some VFL's is shorter than we think...
