The possibility of Nate Woody leaving was always a possibility because App State has produced excellent defenses consistently.

As for Sloan, I think the opportunity to be DC at Southern also gave him the opportunity of more freedom to .......
1. Have more insight to his defensive staff assistants
2. Sometimes you get tired of a place. App State looks like a well run program, unfortunately coaches and family like a change of scenery and a new challenge.
3. It was also a guaranteed thing to make more $$$$$$.

Sloan didn't leave because he was ready for a change of scenery. He and his wife love App and Boone ,but he couldn't pass up a chance to be a DC under a head coach he has a good relationship with. If he had a choice to be the DC at App or move to GS he would still be in Boone. Not saying GS is a bad job, but he wouldn't have had any reason to leave App in that scenario.
