Needs to be enacted permanently, not just this year.

That would ruin the sport. 1 players trying to learn new schemes would slow down their development. 2 Any coach could leave a take the whole team with him. 3 It would make it so the players run the team and they aren’t mature enough for that. If they make it to the league they can call their own shots.

Don't think it would be that dramatic, and it's going to happen. An outgoing coach would not be able to take his whole team with him. There would uproar with the newly employing school over him cutting all the existing players.

I dont think there would be as much uproar as you think if Saban came to UT next year and brought his whole team.

I should have been more specific.

I am for the one time transfer rule for all players, just like in every other sport besides D1 college football, and bball. It hasn't ruined any of the other sports with mass defections. Players can't be mature enough to choose a school to attend. Mature enough to vote. Mature enough to enlist. Yet too immature to decide if a university they are attending isn't the right one for them for whatever the reasons.

Coaches leave, All The Time.
Players leave, all the time, most get waivers already, especially QBs.

As for your reasons above.

1. Schemes change often on teams routinely. Coordinators being replaced, coaches being fired, etc. No one is saying we need a rule to prevent that slow development due to coaching turnover.
2. No coach can take a whole team. There is the 25 limit of new scholarships to each University. So that's the most he could take. If he did, he would lose out on an entire recruiting class. No coach would do that.
3. The implication is that every college athlete is destined to be a problem child and want to destroy instead of build. I think Saban, Dabo and others would tell you that is false. Those players aren't there being subordinate and following orders because of transfer rules. They are there because they want to be successful and be led to it.

It’s gonna be a doubled edged sword...it has the potential to lessen the concentration of talent. If Johnny five star doesn’t like running with the scout team he may transfer out after his freshman year and go to where he might be able to play. Schools like Bama, Georgia, Clemson, Ohio State and a few others have 4/5 star players who can’t make the 2 deep...this will give them the option to transfer to another power 5 school and not have to sit out...so it could help schools like Tennessee, Ole Miss, South Carolina, etc...

But, it also means that when a program has a bad year or a coach moves on (doesn’t have to be the head coach) you could have a significant talent drain. Players are usually tighter with the position coaches or coordinators so it could creat some situations where the head coach fires an assistant and the assistant cherry picks players to take to his next job...obviously unethical but it’s gonna happen. And when the AD fires a coach and brings in a new HC (who bring in his own staff) the new staff will have to make some positive connections quickly or they could lose talent. You always lose a few during coaching transitions but this new rule might mean you lose more if you don’t manage it well...the AD will need to hire a consultant to develop a change management plan...😂😂😂 I used to have to do those for rolling out new programs....

This is the hidden cost of keeping a coach that is likely to be fired a year from now anyway. Current players can move on rather easily, which will further prolong the rebuilding effort.

And remember, the guys that signed today most likely did not have an official visit this year. They may get here and hate it. You will see a higher than normal roster attrition.

I don't like it...
But I hope it helps the Vols. Pruitt has actually done remarkably well in the transfer portal so far.


I don't like it because....these kids have grown up in the age of Lebron James in where if you don't like your team, you can go leave and drag other superstars with you to another team- forming a super team!

You already see this at the high school level. And it's not fair...

As soon as this thing becomes official....i can see an Arik Gilbert, Marcus Bowman, and other 5 stars flocking to play for Dan Mullen and Florida immediately.

I'm pretty sure that the incoming school has to have room for a transfer. Can't go over 85 scholarships.
