This is accurate. It happens, its part of the profession. And its amazing that it only happens to programs that are successful. Wonder why that is?

Assistants that left the coaching staff under Dan Mullin rarely match or find better success at other jobs.
It could be worse. Turner could have left us in January, leaving our DL crootin out to dry.
IIRC, Mullen took some actions a while back to keep coaches from leaving before NSD. So that's a big, big plus.
Why is everyone saying that all of the coaches are just leaving? If you ask me all of them left for a better gig, except Turner, and Manny just wanted to go home.
So many coaches leaving. Gotta stop this shit before it spreads to Hev......
A&M has really put together a great staff. Chavis and Turner on D. They just hired an excellent O-line coach. They have recruited very well. I look for them to be very strong the near future.
No positive spin to us losing Turner. He was our best recruiter and probably best coach. It's going to be tough to find a D-line coach at this point. May have to look to a non-Power 5 conference. Thank you Turner for signing Jeff Simmons before you left.
And that is why good/great young coaches like T Buck, Sirmon, Linguist decided to come on board so that they could be looking for a job again next year? I don't buy it. As someone said above, a "clean break" may be just what the doctor ordered. I think Mullen has recommitted and is retooling his entire organization. The hate for some of the offensive coaches is just internet rumor and innuendo, and we may even see some changes there. However, our offense has been in the top quartile of the conference the last several years, so I don't know that a lot of changes are necessary there.
Until Dan stops being a Yankee and also stops meddling with and tinkering with the defense, we will continue to see this. Honestly, please raise your hand if you'd want to work for someone who knows little about what you do but constantly tries to tell you how you could do your job better. And on f*cking top of that he will not get rid of one of your colleagues who absolutely sucks and covers an area which the head boss has the most experience? Jesus some of you throw logic and perspective out the windows when you put on your maroon glasses. Wake up. This comes from the mismanagement at the top.
It's so obvious that these coaches are sick and tired of working for Mullen, except his good friends (Sallach, Hev and Gonzo) and then you have Knox who know one seems to want.
Nobody changes DC's like we do- nobody. So all this "other schools have more turnover is BS"...our defensive turnover has been ridiculous. Mullen's boys staying are the only reason the numbers seem decent
Turner leaving has everything to do with Mullen. The cold hard fact is Turner is willing to risk working for a coach who is on the hot seat than work another day for Dan. It's that simple. It's no secret that Mullen treats the defensive staff like crap. Here's proof that Mullen has a management problem (understatement of the year). Every single coach on staff in the last year with even the slightest marketability has left. The only ones left are Dans boys Hev, Gonzo, and Sallach. Gonzo is the only one who deserves a job out of those three.
