Slow leak of coaches continues. According to FootballScoop.com Georgia State's head coach Sean Elliot will leave his job to take on a assistant job at South Carolina.
The contracts these coaches sign aren't worth the paper they're written on - but players wanting to transfer is destroying the fabric of the sport.
Lest we forget. It is off season for coaches, but NOT for STUDENT-athletes.
Coaches can move around in Feb. but how can a student, athlete or not???
So coaches don't take new jobs from August - December. At EMU an athlete can't move to a new school from Sept - Dec and Jan. - April. That is before the current semester is complete.
Never heard of Suzy Coed transferring from EMU to CMU in mid-Oct or mid-Feb, but her coach can get a new position.

Solid points guys, to be sure.
The key word here is STRUCTURE. Should there be a cap on NCAA coaching salaries and restrictions on their movement? Hell yes! Honestly, I hate the fact that Nate Oats can sign a 5-year contract extension with Buffalo and have Alabama buy that out days later. Likewise, I despise that EMU feels compelled to sign Stan Heath to a five-year contract, find out that he has lost his fastball, and suffer through two more years with him because they don't have the money to buy him out.
We have become conditioned to be focused on player movement only and it has become ridiculous and detrimental to sport in my opinion. That said, we have also accepted coaching gypsy's as normal behavior. Neither is good for the sport in my opinion.
