We lose coaches each and every year by the boatload yet we post 5 win seasons. Why does this continue to happen? Something doesn't add up, I understand people will say they didn't want to work for our previous HC but at the same time, I don't see top tier programs losing all of their assistants each and every year

Wait. What? Would you like a list of the coaching changes and abandonments around the NCAA this past season? Ok. But it might take me a while!

Its a legitimate question with folks making lateral moves. I am not one of those mad at Jay. I wish him the best but something isn't adding up

Cash is king.

I love how everyone on here pretends that if you were offered at 50% pay raise to do the exact same job that you would turn it down. Everyone here hates money. Got it.

It's business and that's what happens. No need for the sky to fall. The only reason you should be worried is if you have Justin Wilcox situation where he took less money for the same position in a vastly inferior conference with a less prestigious program. That's not the case with Jay Graham.

Get over yourselves and wish him the best.

The only time you turn down more money is when you have enough FU money yourself. Sounds likes he trying to compile his

Coaching staffs turn over all the time. It's a business, period. Guys are gonna take better offers just we all do in our industries. The fact that we've had 2 former Vols who have chosen not to work on the hill, who are loved and revered in Knoxville shows us this.

so, let's see if this is what it all boils down to is....money is king on the hill? :yes: I guess we didn't have enough to keep Jay around to coach. :eek:k: Loyalty goes out the window for the price of gas & groceries. I wish him nothing but the best of luck & thanks for your time here. :thumbsup:

Keep in mind that the reason that Graham was hired by FSU is because the had an open position. As a matter of fact FSU has had a number of openings cause many coaches left Fishers staff this year. Staff turnover happens everywhere not just at UT.

I'll break it down for you - its "momentum." It is a pretty big thing in sports. It can be good or bad, last for an indeterminate time, and is not completely controllable regardless of your efforts. The best you can do is to workk hard to stretch leads and be equally dilligent in putting the breaks on during to bad time.

I think there's an old saying about rats and a sinking ship but I'm not sure.

Didn't you just answer your own question?

Until we can get stability in our coaching staff, we're going to have a hard time winning.

And losing 1 coach a year is nothing, must programs lose atleast 1 coach a year. Even the top tier programs.

Keep in mind, too...we hear every little thing that goes on at or concerning UT. We don't hear anything about a program outside of the SEC & very little about other SEC schools unless we have lots of spare time! I keep up pretty good, but couldn't tell you any other coaching changes without thinking real hard about it! ....and then I probably still couldn't name any changes except HC!
