All coaches (except Odom) left for better jobs/pay


Odom wanted to be closer to family in NC (which rang true again once he became head coach at Lenior Rhyne)

The others:

Adrian Autry: returned to his alma mater at Syracuse to become an assistant

Bill Courtney: became a head coach at Cornell

Rob Ehsan: pay increase and moved left one seat to join a familiar face in UAB

Jeff Wulbrun: went from DOBO to assistant joining Ehsan at UAB

James Johnson: $50,000 pay increase to go to Clemson

Stacey Palmore: pay increase and got back to the South where he had spent most of his career.

I personally worked with 4 of the names on this list and none of them ever hinted they had an issue with Greenberg. As a coach you WANT your assistants leaving for better jobs. It means they're sought after and you're doing something right. You get to sell to a new group of applicants that when you decide to leave it will be for a better/higher paying job.

I worked at 4 different schools in 8 years. I didn't have short stints at those schools because I didn't like the head coach, I just kept moving up, as you're supposed to do. Coaching is a nomadic lifestyle and you move often, sometimes for good reasons and sometimes for bad. They're not usually a reflection of your relationship with your boss.
