The mass exodus from Alabama is concerning in the short-term, but it isn't a sign of things to come in our sport. The best coach of all time retired on January 10. A lot of players have historically signed with Alabama to play with the best coach of all time. It's an unfortunate series of events that are not going to repeat themselves very often. With that said, the college football calendar needs to be changed. It's not fair to coaches and players. Eliminate the early signing period (but allow players to enroll like they did in the past), shorten the early transfer portal window to one week and shorten the 30-day transfer portal window following a coaching change during the winter.
@BarrettSallee This has never been an issue until it happened to Bama
@Jtown_37080 @BarrettSallee Did you actually think this through before you hit send? It’s been an issue for years. And I’m not a Bama fan.
@Jtown_37080 @BarrettSallee Welcome to the discussion, 🎶 “we’ve been here for years” . . . better late than never
