Thomas Brown: What Was the Deal All Along?

It is being reported that Georgia running backs coach Thomas Brown will be joining Mark Richt's staff at Miami after the Dawgs January 2nd bowl game. Earlier, it was speculated that Brown would remain at Georgia with new head coach Kirby Smart, although Smart never confirmed this himself. However, Coach Brown did accompany Smart on several recruiting trips just after Smart was announced as Georgia's new coach. So, what's the deal: Did Smart ask Brown to stay on at UGA and now Brown has had a change of heart, or was he never offered the option of remaining with the Bulldogs to begin with? This coaching wheel just keeps spinning...
