Unfortunately, this will be one of the ones we wish we could know what happened, but probably never will. From getting a raise and an extension to getting dismissed in less than a year.

It really looks like some kind of HR action instead of a coaching decision. The answer from Key after the game Saturday sounded like he was not in charge of making the decision.

I have been involved in firing people for cause, and with laying people off. It has never been a pleasant experience. In cases where the person was fired for cause, I have not discussed the reasons with anyone outside of the circle that already knew the reasons. I don't see discussing such things as being productive in any way. It is more akin to gossip.

I wish Brumfield the best of luck in his future endeavors.

Could be legal reason for not discussing it, too. We may never know...

Glad to see the has accepted his fate and is moving on.
I'm very disappointed, he did such a good job last season.

From AJC Article
"
“Yeah, he didn’t make the trip, and that’s all I have. That’s all the information I have,” Key said after the game. When pressed for more contest, Key only reiterated. “Like I said, he didn’t make the trip, and that’s all the information I have.”
“I have made the difficult decision to step away from my position with the football program,” Brumfield posted to X on Tuesday. “I am truly appreciative for the opportunity to help our student-athletes achieve greatness on and off the field, and couldn’t be more excited to see this team finish the season strong.”

I suspect we will never know the details (as it should be in these matters). This got me to thinking....back in my day, the telling phrase in all HR personnel announcements was " So and so has resigned to pursue other opportunities". I am curious if that piece of jargon is still around or has it been updated?? If so, what is the current version that tells you someone has been fired without saying they have been fired.

He is listed as an "Associate Head Coach for Special Teams/Cornerbacks". "Associate" is generally a lesser title than "Assistant" in the corporate world. It may have been added as justification for his salary.
Tim Salem already had a role with Special Teams, so a logical choice to coach them as an interim.

I have seen that phrase, but not just for people who have been fired. Sometimes "pursue other opportunities" is used when saying that someone's last day is next Friday. That person will sometimes respond and say how they enjoyed their time at the company, but wanted to ... whatever the reason is. The most telling announcement that I remember came directly from the company president. It said something like: "Employee X" is no longer an employee. Do not discuss his departure. If you believe you need details, come talk to directly to me.": Of course that caused all the employees to discuss the matter and find out what the reason was.

There are a lot of guesses, but from what’s published, he could have won the Georgia lottery and decided not to work any more, or have a family matter, or any of a number of other things.

(I’m sure it wasn’t him that won the lottery, but it’s an example)

I can guess too, but i agree with @4shotB that I don’t see us getting the reason anytime soon.
