When Denny left almost EVERYONE in the AD knew it was coming.
The prior year Denny had interviewed for the NFL, but nothing materialized. Â After the 1991 season, it was clear that Green could coach up a team.
Green left the team with an amazing bounty of talent from the 1989 recruiting class that still had 1 year of eligibility left. Â Even without their coach that group knew how to play and were ready to be coached.
My guess is that JH\'s situation is probably fairly similar. Â Like in 1992, the 2011 team will be highly ranked in the preseason and has a ton of coachable talent.
I suspect that leaving for the NFL is easier on everyone. Â The AD does not need to worry about the coach poaching his verbal list. Â The coach does not need to worry about the AD trying to recruit against him, etc.
