So Shaw & Kimrey are leaving this quickly in the build.
Do not like.
Do not like.
Looks like a lot of the talk about Satterfield and the rest of the staff has some truth to it.
I hope that Shane is not losing good hardworking coaches for refusing to let Satterfield go. If Stepp leaves, I'm convinced there is a serious issue... as these guys were all mentioned as not wanting to work with Satterfield anymore.

Shaw didn't have on-field role so I'm not sure what bearing Satterfield would have had on his decision.
Article says he was still active at practices and team meetings.
And the rumor, fwiw, was about Satterfield being hard to work with/for. So it might not necessarily be restricted to on the field personnel.
Jay Phillips said Kimrey is leaving because there is a great new opportunity for his family.
Kimrey is classy. He'll never admit if Satterfield is part of the reason for his departure.

We love Kimrey, but we had a lot more at the TE position than we got production all season. You can see the potential there with Bell and Muse should’ve had a bigger year. Maybe we really did need to make some changes there.
The Shaw thing is a huge head scratcher for me. For some reason or another, 2 greats have left this position after a fairly short time. I still can’t believe Shaw isn’t on the field coaching somewhere, but he also left Furman very fast. I don’t know…I just don’t get that one.

Shaw left Furman after 6 months. He left Colonial Life after 5 months. After his brief stint in an on-field role here, he said he wasn't interested in staying in that role at the time. Now he's leaving. Beats me.
Kimrey leaving dream job for a high school job, something aint right
Maybe it wasn't a dream job. A college coaching gig is exponentially more demanding of your time than a HS coaching gig. Recruiting is a 365-day grind. Could be that it just wasn't for him.
It's one guy leaving from the offensive staff, and just the TE coach at that. There is hardly reason to panic here. If it wasn't for the fact that it's Kimrey, this wouldn't even be news. If a couple more guys leave, then I'll worry.
Rumor is he's going to the Baylor School in Chattanooga, TN. I lived in Chatt for a number of years. Baylor is a snooty private school. Tuition is $25K for day students, $50K for boarding students.
Kimrey probably just didn't like the college grind.

To be fair, if there was, it wouldn't be a rumor.
I think everyone involved has been careful to point out its still rumor.
Dang that's as expensive as 2 private schools I know of in San Francisco. I wonder if that's one of the attractions for Californians migrating to TN, the snootiness feels just like home.
Beamer doing damage control on the rumors. Coaches have to respond these days whether rumors are right or wrong.

Is it me or y’all are finding ways to bash Coach Beamer because he is keeping Satterfield. I thought Satterfield did an excellent job in the bowl game with the offense and showed what the offense can do when all the players are all on the same page.
Well, he might also not admit it because it isn't the case. What I'm reading on social media amounts to a lot of hysterical speculation not supported by any significant evidence.
Clearly he's alluding to the Satt ongoing discussion. Perhaps we will get to some truth eventually, perhaps we have already, perhaps not. The key is to "own" the narrative.
Yes. We're losing one coach on the offensive side of the ball. And a TE coach at that. Folks need to chill out.
I'm too old to get worked up one way or another about these things, but I always find the approaches used in winning the message fascinating. One trillion percent is a bunch!!
Or maybe he got a great opportunity for his family. If it’s the Baylor school in Chattanooga then I can see it. The biggest regret I have in life is working so many hours while my kids were young. I’m sure college coaches work even longer hours and if you can make the same money or more at a high school job it might be for some people. I’m sure the excitement of an SEC game on a Saturday is diminished by being away from your family so much.
Sorry, trying to be funny.
Who knows. Not many college coaches take a big pay decrease to coach high school football out of state unless it's on the backend of their career. Particularly when you are coaching in your home town and you're an alumni of the college in which you are coaching.
Beamer knows what is said on these board. He even mentioned it once this year that they see it.
If something's really wrong, indications will manifest themselves sooner instead of later.
