I think the Tusculum kids came with Kade, Kerwin wasn't up there, and Kerwin was at least a year removed from Valdosta, but he still had connections there. The jump to FCS for a really good Div. II player seems a lot more achievable to me than the jump from FCS to Power 5. The difference of course is the family tie - I doubt Kerwin wants his kid to make off with too many of his players. Kerwin and other head coaches talk now about having to recruit their players over and over again each year. For sure there are some interesting conversations being had.

Yes this isn't the head coach leaving, it's the assistant and the still head coach just happens to be family and mentor. It would be like my Dad helping me find a nice house and then I roll in with the moving truck and take his furniture lol.
