ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Georgia wide receiver coach Bryan McClendon is leaving Kirby Smart's staff to be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers coach and pass game coordinator.
I expect the obligatory end of the world for put your teams name here memes. But this is going to become the norm for us all I am afraid. Coaches don't want that work all the time pace in college.

With college football coaching being a year round job at this point (due to recruiting) I don't blame these guys one bit for wanting to go to the NFL - where they actually get real downtime

Yes, more coaches will go. Many will also get fired and return to CFB behind where they otherwise would have progressed had they stayed. All part of how the market works and how it corrects itself. Which it will.
Wish BM well, I think we will go well there. Also good opportunity to go and try to get an elite WR recruiter.

College coaches will almost always take an equal position on an NFL team. Alabama was hit with a perfect storm of coaches who just coached in a national championship game and then getting an offer from the NFL team in the city in which they were already living. I don't like it but I totally understand it. The better coaches you have the more likely this will happen.

I think Grubb never really wanted to come here for family reasons. I didn't like the way he handled the situation , leaving us in the lurch like he did. Don't take a job if you don't intend to do the job.
Just decline the offer, and go elsewhere.

I thought this was just a given.

It IS.....unless it's Bama. Then, the program is dead. Everyone is running away, and it's the end.
Everyone else, it's a given.

People are just trolling Bama fans, much like Bama fans have trolled others.

Ordinarily I would agree but it's even the media doing it. When the NFL starts poaching other programs, as they have here, I will be interested in seeing the coverage.

CFB is clearly a train wreck and the NFL’s product is going to be affected by the collapse of their free developmental league. I think that’s part of the reason they’re working hard to diversify and export the game overseas.

Georgia's OC went to the NFL to be an OC just last offseason.
LSU's DL coach did the same.
You're just more sensitive because it's your team this time.

More fans worldwide means more $$$.
The global outreach has nothing to do with CFB.
The current CFB model is unsustainable and will be corrected very soon.

Both can be true. Expect an influx of international players in the years ahead. There’s simply too much $$$ on the line for the NFL to rely solely on CFB decision makers & players anymore.

This doesn't really make sense.
The vast majority of the problems within CFB have no effect on the NFL.

Is DeBoer still hiring coaches right now?

What happens when all the coaches who can teach the game have either jumped to the league and/or retired? What about the talented kid who cashes a $300K check and quits showing up to off-season workouts? What about the guy who plays for 3 programs and has to start over learning at every stop?
CFB’s problems affect the quality of the NFL’s money-making product. So, why not jumpstart other subsidized minor leagues in talent rich nations? Don’t be surprised when a lot international talent increasingly fills roster spots over the next decade.

This will never happen, there are a limited amount of positions available in the NFL and the money is great at the college level.

There have always been talented players who washed out, nothing has changed there.

Why would the NFL give a shite about this? Even the best NFL draftees still have a learning curve.

Doubtful.
CFB is so many tiers above international developmental programs, that it's laughable.

A coach leaving for the same position on a NFL team isn't a story.
An incoming coach (at any level) who leaves for another job before coaching a game IS a story. THe higher the level of the coach, the bigger the story. A coordinator makes it a pretty big story.
This is the main difference why Todd Monken leaving UGA for the Ravens wasn't a huge deal last year, but Grubb leaving this year was. Coaches moving around is normal. Coaches after accepting a position before coaching a game is not.

True, but those who can leave are leaving en masse right now.

Whole recruiting classes are washing out.

There’s learning curves. And then there’s starting from ground zero.

For now. That was the case with baseball, until it wasn’t. Same for basketball. Football’s next.
