Sometimes you’re surprised. Gruden got run off the Raiders / NFL in a pretty messy way that’s still (I believe) being litigated. His son was on his staff as a strength and conditioning coach and is still there to this day. Can’t speak for young Monson, but he got the experience playing 2 years of D1 basketball as a walk on, and he actually played more than most guys in that position. If he likes the school and has built friendships, sometimes that’s enough and he just wants to finish out as a student.
One play who may transfer is Maddox Monson.
if (and probably when) many / most of our best players start showing up here. It's simply part of the deal when hiring a new coach. I also wouldn't be bumping for any imaginative way to try and hold onto the players by keeping assistant(s) on staff. I'm not against the premise if that's what the new coach wants / suggests, but it wouldn't even be something (if I'm the AD) that would be suggested or asked about as part of the interview process. Best coach available, best staff that can be built. If needed, the portal works both ways.
If you want to look at the 2024 transfer portal, here's a link. There are already over 100 players listed at this early date.
