Best of luck to him. Wonder if there are some background things going on.

Obviously losing our coach sucks but to me the worst part is our roster is going to get absolutely purged as id imagine he’s gonna take a number with him. I’m hoping we can do the same to another team

This is devastating. What happened? He did not sound like a coach that was intending to leave last week when he spoke publicly.

My guess is that Tut gets the job, and actually keeps most of the roster. I really think that he has been our top recruiter the last few years.

Huge loss obviously. And possibly a program killing loss.

But also, sometimes change is good and needed. He was here a long time.

YOLO

This happened pretty quietly and quickly behind the scenes. Good for Jake. He has nothing left to prove here and heads to a place with way more resources. Thank you for everything, coach!

My hires in order:

1A) Seth Tuttle
1B) Kyle Green
1C) ??

[achrist70]

Few other names
Brooks McKowen
Craig Smith
Chris Foster

I honestly don't know if Kyle Green would want the job.

Maybe it's my eternal optimism but i definitely do NOT agree that this could be a "program killer." We aren't the cellar dwellar Sam Weaver era program. We will be fine.

That'd be alright but i'd imagine he'd keep the recent recruits/freshman. I think Bond/Will/Ben if he's approved are gone for sure, and possibly Hutchins/RJ too.

Holy smokes. Not what I was expecting on Monday morning.

I think it's Tut job like others have said, no?
It will be interesting to see who follows him to Utah. Players and staff.

I will be cheering for the Aggies and hope Jake can add to his legacy there. With more resources maybe he gets back to the Sweet 16.

I'm really happy for Jake. He deserves to take his shot at a bigger gig and it's a great job. Congrats to him. Now we move on to what is most likely Tuttle.

Admin needs to be bold and quickly or it could be. I think with this there's opportunity as well. If they go with Tuttle they need to pay well, signal full support, and amass as many resources as possible for him to be successful.

$4M in rev share to build a roster and at least doubling your salary talks a big talk, unfortunately for us.
