Every new coach poaches from the university they departed from so not really surprised at the ones he is snagging from the Tigers.

He wants to be an AD. This position at Ok has a more elevated title that is more "off the field".

Big loss. He spearheaded our recruiting for years. He's been instrumental in shaping this program. He seemed pretty happy here. Is this really a big promotion? This is the first one I'm not sure about. Maybe there is something going on in Clemson. Don't think I've ever seen a mass exodus like this at what looked like a very stable program.

group up until a couple of years ago.
Told me Thad would be leaving before it was even announced.
This is not as big a loss as you might think...it was inevitable.
Thad has done a really good job but this will have the least impact of any of those that have gone, except maybe for Roof.

You’ve got to be kidding. Crap. He was the one person behind the scenes that you could tangibly point to and credit with our rise. Unbelievable if true.

Nothing to see here, Dabo has his right hand man still, Willie McCovey.

Nick Saban in 2019: “It’s one thing that I always try to emphasize to the guys - what I have a tough time with, aight, is we’ve had however many guys who have worked here who are at Georgia, Tennessee — whoever, wherever — is when they get those jobs, and in most cases you’ve helped them, is they have a hard time understanding why they can’t take your people. I’m gonna help you get a job, only so that you can take what I’ve tried to build here and destroy the continuity of what I have? It’s amazing how some of the assistants don’t understand why that’s not a good thing.”
Benedict Venables is breaking that code. Before Dabo even has a chance to promote his own guys.

I loved Thad. Wish he would have stayed here.

He’s a really great guy who I believe also does a fantastic job! I am happy for him and Coach Venables. I’m glad they’ll continue to work together.
Will be some real hard shoes to fill!
