In the modern age of college athletics with the transfer portal, which empowers players by informing other programs of their interest in transferring, and the one-time transfer exception, which allows first-time transfers to play immediately at their new school without sitting out for an academic year, a flurry of transfers from a single program can signal the foreboding death knell of a coaching tenure or it can be the metaphorically posthumous reaction to a coach being fired, in a Newton’s third law of motion sort of way.
The University of Georgia’s men’s basketball program is an example of the former.
