Because losing the lead recruiter for Sawyer, Locke, and Parson in Drew and a rising star in coaching isn?t a good look. And also losing the guy who led the QB room up until last year isn?t a good look. I knew the guy would leave eventually but he was kicked to the curb and wound up in a better coaching situation just so we could bring in a guy who just happened to play at State and some of our media could have inside information.

And by the way-was someone not on here earlier saying we should hire whoever replaces Arbuckle at Western Kentucky? Seeing as how WKU has had Kittley, Arbuckle, and now Drew-maybe that staff knows a thing or two of coaching evaluation.
But we were not replacing Drew for Bumphis. We knew we needed to replace Spurrier. That's why we got Bumphis. We also knew, before the bowl game, that Drew was looking and getting opportunities that made sense for him. Drew was being up front about it.
