Got a text from GH earlier saying Joko Willis is following the yellow brick road out of town. I haven't seen anything on it, but if true, that's 20 who have hit the portal, with only 5 players who have transferred in.
I don't know about Austin Davis' situation. There's no reason not to take him at his word and accept that something came up in his life that made him want to step away from football. I don't think you can point the finger at Harmin on that, but the fact remains that for whatever the reasons, he's having to replace his 3rd coordinator in just over a year.
Davis was an odd hire to me anyway. Zero experience as an OC, but he's coming to the SEC West to do just that. I guess conventional wisdom was that Hatpin was going to run the offense while Davis was brought in to develop the QB's. Maybe that's CBH's thing, and he's good at it. But I've never been a fan of the head corch at this level being the coordinator too. But, what do I know?
My main point in the Changes thread, was that if we're sitting here this time next year discussing the same exodus of players and coaches, there needs to be some eyebrows raised and some serious questions asked. But right now, all we can do is ride it out and hope this is one big weeding out process, and Bryman Hartlinz can get the ship headed in the right direction.
