OMG, that's really unfortunate.
 
It's one thing for Doug (who's a good coach and really turned this program around) to leave for the NFL. It's quite another for him to leave the program in turmoil and poach half of our staff positions (including the RECRUITING COORDINATOR). That really burns a bridge for me.
 
Yes I know ... FB coaches are "used" to this, they make decisions every January, many coaches take staff when they move to the NFL, bla bla bla.
 
The difference is, this isn't business as usual. This is the 'Cuse -- Doug's alma matter. He's leaving us in an awkward situation. Already, our top QB, and potentially our top RB, prospects are casulties of his 11th hour 'career enhancement'.
 
I'm starting to wonder if Doug is oblivious to all this damage? Was it his mediocre ($1.25M) salary reason for raiding SU's staff and jettisoning its star recruits? Are there not plenty of NFL- capable coaching prospects out there at other schools? And a question for a guy supposedly skilled in 'time management', was the LOI date around the corner a consideration here?
 
One might even suggest that, if Doug had a more robust conscience (and half a brain), he'd be poaching assistants from FSU and Clemson instead of laying waste to his dream school.
 
Just some thoughts.
