It is not far from what went down.. I understand you THINK you know what happened but uga did Offer him 1.5 to stay. Kirby tried as hard as he could to keep him.. Its ok.. you can not live in reality.. you can think you know "insiders", I got it straight...... same with Tee Martin turning down offers from almost every SEC school including GA and Bama and coming to Tennessee.
Tennessee has been at bottom for 12 years and finally spending money to try to get back to top..Now, a long way to go but..
oh and by the way..... i am not thrilled with Chaney.. I dont think he is great.. but he was also hamstrung by Kirby in said tight situations and games.. bank on that... next OC will be to.. Chaney also knew at UT Pruitt is concentrating on D and giving him the O
Not sure where you get your info, but that is far from what really went down. Chaneys contract was over. Kirby was taking some heat for Chaney. It's more of a just part ways. Chaney is a decent coach, but sucks play calling in big games. Look at his record while at GA. Pittman has said numerous times he will retire at UGA.
While I am not included in meetings at UGA, i do have some pretty good connections. You want find many UGA fans to blast Chaney, but nobody really cared when he left. Kirby is going after A+ recruiters and he expects them to focus 100% on that.
My connections claim that was the main reason he didnt land Enos as well. Apparently Enos didnt want to take another job where recruiting was such high pressure. Why he left Bama and didnt come to Athens.
Had a funny conversation with a colleague this past week regarding Chaney and UT fans. When UGA hired him UT and Arky was ripping us on how shitty of a coach he was.
Arky still claims that, but in Vol eyes he is the greatest OC that has ever walked the earth. They look like past or present fools.....so which is it?
