104.5 zone reporting Jay Graham gone to bama

[airvols]

Out of Nashville reporting he is transferring to Alabama.

 

[GTBATV]

I hate that

[Rylee_Vol18]

Damn it

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Wow. Bama no less...

 

[VolDC]

Maybe Saban can give him some pointers on how to teach running backs how to block.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Not surprising but this hurts.

He was a good recruiter.

Heupel isn't going to do squat unless they somehow upgrade the roster.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

booo

Why do expect coaches on a losing team to stay?

 

[OrangeVolMan]

If he is leaving this is the best place for him to go for us. He is not going to make Alabama better. Rather him go there than any other SEC school.

 

[DiderotsGhost]

Hate to lose him, but I've been expecting that we'd lose most (if not all) the current offensive staff.

Defense will be more interesting, because I feel like Kevin Steele is a better DC than Heupel's current DC at UCF (Randy Shannon).

You know, I never really looked at things this way. You make a good point.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

didnt want him anyway

 

[gnm53108]

That bites.

Given what just went down in this program, we need to purge and start over. Hurts to lose former players, but it can’t be helped.

 

[MSrivervol]

running backs coaches are essentially just mcdonalds bag men. We can get another one easy

 

[vol66]

This sucks.

 

[VOLfrombama]

Can someone please show me the reasons we should keep anyone from the previous staff?

Besides the obvious “they gave their all for Tennessee” reasons, of course. I will always like Jay and Tee because of what they did on the field, but they need to move on if our new coach doesn’t want them.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Because of his contractual obligations.....

 

[Sea Ray]

Butch Jones left and went to Alabama...so my question is this:

So damn what???

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Dear Saban,

Can you please retire already?

Thanks.

Eric Gray and Ty Chandler. Who on the team performed at their position better than the RB’s? Why do you think Saban wants him?

C’mon people.

Wait. You will see some of the idiots using this as negative against Heupel. But then this past season everyone has talked about how bad our staff sucked. I will always love Graham. And I will never blame someone taking a promotion and bettering themselves.
