That hurts. I was impressed with his CB coaching this year. I know people say you want to 'lose coaches' because it means they are doing a good job but let's be honest, you don't want to lose too many too fast. What you really want (obvious) is to have great coaches that stick around a little while until a big offer - like Bobby Johnson. That has been a noted point about Alabama dropping behind Clemson. CLemson freakin' NEVER loses Venables etc. good grief. bama loses multiple assistants constantly

Every season brings near constant shuffling of coaches for virtually every program in the country. Furman really isn't an exception to this.

For an FCS school, when bigger programs are looking at your coaches, its a mark that you are recruiting and retaining the right guys.

Clemson loses coaches too.

Assistant coaches are typically younger guys that are trying to improve their earning potential and experience. It's the nature of the business. Good luck to him. It's 2020

I have no doubt Clay will choose a qualified replacement.

I sure hate to lose Coach O. Congrats to him being picked up by UGA. We have lost secondary coaches to UGA and Auburn in the past two years. CCH must be hiring excellent coaches for these SEC schools to be after them. I trust he will bring in a super candidate. Look at the number of coaches UGA loses, people want good folks from good programs.
