Delicious. I like it when you are self deprecating.

Transfers I don't have a problem with. They aren't something a player is doing in the course of a season. If a player wants to leave for a better situation before the season starts that's his right. I actually believe that kids LOIs should be tied to the head coach who they sign with, at least for a couple years.
I am not a big fan of players who hold out while still under contract, if they hold out as free agents that is entirely their decision
"We". Love it. Keep up the good work, Skid!

I'd appreciate an initiative from the NCAA and AD's to develop boilerplate coaching contract language that restricts and penalizes coach movement that takes place prior to the team's post-season game(s).
I'd much rather loose a coach after the bowl game.

I'm curious what impact the proposed changes to the recruiting calendar will have on the timing of coaches moving to new programs if we start seeing most players signing during the 2 early periods (late June & mid December).

A wise shaman told me that by skipping the Sun Bowl he angered the football gods, and he will be punished with an untimely non football injury.
Examples...
1. Tripping over his dog Brian Griese style.
2. Blowing off his hand JPP style.
3. Shooting himself Plaxico style.

I'm not sure.
The different set of rules for transfer that coaches and players have is one of the nastier sides of college football.
My gut tells me that more consistency between the coaching carousel and the recruitment calendar would be more palatable.
It's pretty crummy for a player that has been recruited by coach Clark, for example, to now be in the position to choose between the Ducks and the Buffs.
That's the way it's always been, I guess.
Pressure is on the Buffs to get those vacancies fast and with coaches who have relationships with quality recruits equal or better than what we've lost.
In hoops, early signees are commonly allowed out of their agreements by the new coach... but not always.
What I have always been in favor of is an early signing period but with a limited number of LOIs available like 10 per school.
What this would do is give a lot of kids a chance see where they really stand with a coaching staff. How many kids are told that they are the "number one priority" only to see two other guys signed at their positions. What the early signing period would do is tell a kid yes I am a priority and get the offer or maybe somebody else really does want me a lot more since they have offered an early signing slot.

All I remember from CM last year was his incredible Bowl game against Iowa. People belittle the Sun Bowl and their opponent but having 200+ yards against NC would give him momentum going into the draft. Instead, for myself and many people on the board, he looks like a selfish player. From a business perspective I understand his decision, as a college football fan, I hate it.
Good point. Every bowl game, other than the 4-team playoffs, has been minimized by the playoff system. Another unanticipated consequence of the new system. You can bet your bottom dollar that CM would have played if Furd was in the Final Four. (Also, an observation that Nick Saban made last week)
It's a re injury of an ankle, I'd bet he's healthy in time for the combine. Won't hurt him any.
For those of you who see bowl games as optional, why are you comfortable with the NFL having such a large farm program without risk or expense?
I say that NFL prospects, who go to college mainly for a chance to play professionally, should be put on a minor league farm system and put the student back into the collegiate player. Or, the NFL needs to pony up some of the cost for the college system.

Does C Mac playing in El Paso suddenly make that statement untrue?

Man, you can get hurt any play.
No. But I think the two issues are related. The pinnacle of college play is to reach and win a bowl game (preferably one of the big bowl games). I don't think that the goal of playing sports for a college should be to reach professional sports.
"Should" doesn't matter from a pragmatic sense. Pretty much every guy who signs a scholarship agreement for football has an NFL dream. In fact, you probably don't want to recruit someone who doesn't have that dream.
