...also, in the press conference that followed the introduction (separate event), he noted that Jayson Gee, Ryne Lightfoot, & Zack Freesman, as well as one holdover from the old staff would be on the new CCU staff.

He is slick. He has the spiel down pat and all the acronyms. I thought it was telling when he said his wife was so excited to pack and move to the coast and get out of where they were. He then said, if you have a happy wife, you have a happy life. I hope he is successful at Coastal. Expectations are high. Honestly though, everybody knew when he came here that he was looking for a new job and we were just a stepping stone. He will stay at Coastal until he wins a little and then he will move on again. His timing is perfect though. He knew that next year he would not be as successful.

Well yeah... He and his wife hated the area. Not surprised. Coaches will say and act like they are happy to win and get recruits and money from donors. That is what he was doing

I have been telling many on here that his wife did not like the area and that she spent alot of time in Charlotte and out of the country for a long time but people dismissed me as being negative.

This comment is not directed at Coach Gray, or any other coach specifically......
But if you are not happy in Cullowhee, or any other town or city, you need to move on. Regardless of how successful you are/can be at a college or university, happiness is most important.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion about when and how a coach leaves. But in the end, Coach Gray has to put his family first and foremost. If it takes a different town/city for he and his wife to be happy, then he should move.
Athletic programs are bigger than any one coach. WCU will have a down year in basketball next season, but if you are honest with yourself, you knew that....with or without JG.
I'm excited for what the future holds. This year sparked new excitement in the program that has been missing for the past several seasons.
Go Cats!

People did not want to hear me though I don't think we heard you the last three times you said, "I told you so". Why don't you tell again, maybe it's stick if you tell us the fourth time.
