LR has become a popular jumping off spot for coaches trying to take a head job at the next level.
It also appears a number of Mercer's 2023 coaches are already scrubbed from the Bears website, including their more veteran guys and both coordinators. I suspect Jacobs will bring a number of coaches with him from LR and it wouldn't shock me to see a couple of players jump in the portal and head that way too.
Correct on Coaches departing - mostly logical move-ups…
HC -> Navy OC
OC/OL1 -> Released
DC -> HC West Georgia
DB/Safeties -> DC West Georgia
ST Coord/DB/CB’s -> TE Navy
OL2 (from ETSU) -> OL Navy
Not sure about Players hitting portal. Have already had a couple of weeks to do that and none (no new ones) have … maybe, we’ll see.
Ahhhh…you meant L-R Players heading to Mercer. Yeah - don’t think we’ll see a Tre Lamb / G-W -> ETSU sorta thing…but maybe a few. Drake Starks, (a very good) TE was, IFBRC, the only one who came with Coach Cronic in the prior transition.
These 11 All-SAC Players might be interesting…
* RB – Dwayne McGee - 1 year of eligibility
* WR/RS – DeAree Rogers - 3 years of eligibility
* TE – John Godwin - 1 year of eligibility
* OL – Xavier Jennings - 1 year of eligibility
* DL – Andre Jefferson - 1 year of eligibility
* LB – Jon Ross Maye - 1 year of eligibility / GA native
* LB – Percy King - 1 year of eligibility (maybe…unclear)
* DB – C'Darius Kelley - 1 year of eligibility
* DB - James Ussery - 2 years of eligibility
* PK - Jake Brown - 3 years of eligibility
* LS – Carson Keaton - 2 years of eligibility
