I ran into him at the Atlanta Airport last week. Told him I was glad he was back on the Hill. I am curious who he was visiting in Atlanta.

He’s a good dude! Glad he’s back!

Ain’t no QB’s near that burg.

Money?

 

[LouderVol]

I hate that the video says "the full interview" but it's only him answering one question. Just give us the rest of it

And becoming the highest paid OC in the country without paying state income taxes had nothing to do with it.

Does TN still have the Hall Tax? That's the one that always gets the retirees moving there.

that was the best and most down to earth PC I think I have ever heard.
Really glad we got him back.

I often wonder how a coach’s family makes these moves. I’ve heard of coach’s wives having to stay behind to square things away such as kids finishing the school year, selling the houses, finishing up their own work before relocating. Maybe possibly it was something to that effect or maybe it was something in his official coaching duties with Tennessee.

The real answer is included in the article:

“Tennessee made Chaney the nation’s highest paid OC, making $1.525 million in 2019, $1.6 million in 2020 and $1.7 million in 2021 with his new three-year contract.”

The Varsity?

It is either phased out or in the process of it.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

You "ran into" Jim Chaney, and you're still with us? Report to the next practice in your warm-ups!

 

[Halph66]

Don't forget that there are no state tax in Tennessee either. When you consider that Georgia's 2019 tax rate is 6%, the decision is easy in my book. 6% of $950,000 (UGA salary) is $57,000 per year.

Yes... as I had to pay a hefty fine out of a trust. It sucks

I agree , one of the best interviews of a coach I’ve ever watched . “ there’s going to be a time and we all know it where I’m going to make a call and y’all are going to say , what in the hell was that ? And so will my wife .” LOL

Yes...............just sent them a check.

 

[OnlyGodForgives]

Hall supposed to be fully repealed in 2021. No mistake that Kathie Lee is moving here. You might hate her, but she isn't stupid.

 

[Souce]

Great press conference -- I think we're blessed to have him back. Hopefully he'll be able to retire here this time around.

With UGA losing both of their coordinators, they are going to take a step back. CKS is not Nick Saban, he can't just plug and play with his coordinators like Saban has managed to do, so far. I believe UGA will take a significant step backwards this season and hopefully we can level the field a little more with recruiting and start contending for the east in 20'. I don't believe Dan Mullen can maintain dominance in the east, either. I really do believe CJP will get us back to an elite status within the next couple years. JMO
