Should've kept Chaney. He was a good OC.

Here's to Chaney making the move a few hundred miles west.

Chaney did a solid job this year, but he and Butch Jones run very different offenses. He'll probably bring in Mike Bajakian, who's been with him back from the CMU days (I really like that guy as a coach too).

Who's Butch Jones? Is he related to June, Jerry, Chipper, or Too Tall?

Get over the shock.
It's quite normal.

Jay Graham was a no-brainer. He did a great job at SC.

They were fired by Hart when he let Dooley go actually.

Jones might hire some of them back...

Sunseri was a good recruiter too, I think you guys should've given him at least another year or two.

Hineshaw retained; Will be moved back to QB coach. I like this move, opens up room for Tee. Hineshaw, Graham and Tee are all excellent recruiters.
