Eason Staying Put

David Ching reports that Coach John Eason is staying in Athens after meeting with Florida A&M officials this week. It was widely thought that Eason was out of FAMU's price range, but Eason says money wasn't the issue. It sounds like Eason is licking his chops at the talent he will have to work with next year. So much so that he has turned down his alma mater. The Dawgs will miss Henderson, Bailey, Bryant and Gartrell next year but we will get A.J. Green (please make your grades) and Tavarres King on campus to add to a good group of returning receivers.

Plus, it might be difficult to leave UGA, where you have all the athletes, facilities, and money you could want, to go to FAMU, where they would be passing the hat at halftime to pay your salary. The only real advantage FAMU has on the Dawgs is in their marching band. No one can touch the Marching 100. But Eason would presumably be in the locker room when they perform. Way to think it through, coach.
