With Greg Byrne reportedly leaving Arizona for Alabama, there of course was a lot of fan reaction to the news.
Here’s just a sampling of what Twitter looked like in the immediate aftermath.
Also: Greg Byrne is like the Jason Bourne series. It was omnipresent but evolved into something more.

@azdesertswarm He is a great guy and has been a tireless worker for UofA. He will be VERY hard to replace.

I'm about to fall into a serious depression seeing @Greg_Byrne leave us. Such a great guy, class act, and definitely deserving of this.

If Alabama has snagged @Greg_Byrne it’s a hire on par with Saban himself.
— Steven Godfrey (@38Godfrey) January 16, 2017
But also @Greg_Byrne thank you for making my time at the U of A enjoyable. I do hope you have good success in Alabama

Thank you @Greg_Byrne for making my time at UA fun with the good you did for the athletic department.
— Michael Coronado (@Mike18Coronado) January 16, 2017
No way UA makes a better hire than what they had in Greg Byrne.

@ghansen711 Slimy as fuck. Your typical ASU grad. Goodbye @Greg_Byrne Don't let the door hit you in the ass.

So... do ASU fans claim Greg Byrne again now, or ...

Why you gotta do us like that? @Greg_Byrne

Arizona had the hottest date to prom in AD Greg Byrne. Now they are the kid holding the corsage in the driveway.
— Rick Powell (@RickBallz) January 16, 2017
In truth, it's amazing and fortunate @Greg_Byrne stayed at Arizona as long as he did. Guy is great at his job, was only a matter of time.

i'll never forget when i broke down after the Pac12 ship and on the bus @Greg_Byrne was the first to put his arm around @KCarlson33 and I

Greg Byrne to Alabama just means that RichRod is finally gonna get that job after all.
