Maybe he's too close to his position coach that got fired? Or NIL? Or lack of playing time? Or tampering, being offered big money to re-locate. There are schools out there that are low down cheating bastids..
Which wouldn't be shocking (or weird), honestly. Now that kids can move so easily, it won't surprise me to see that sort of thing happening.
Coaches always 'take' guys with them. I'm hoping we'll steal a few ourselves...our new guy will encourage a player or two to jump ship. One hopes... Go Gators.
I mean his process hasn't been implemented anywhere except the university of Louisiana so yes it's mostly a mystery as to whether it will be successful in a P5 conference. It's not proven because it worked once in a smaller place. Plenty of processes work at one place because of specific circumstances and fail literally everywhere else. A proven process would be one that's worked at multiple schools. So yes, it's similar to allowing someone who is a good driver take your racecar to the track. They have a process to drive normally but does it work if you're not on a 2 lane road?
The NFL model has contracts at least. This is the Wild West every year on a year to year basis. NFL has a draft where the worst team gets first choice. This is nothing like the NFL.
Is this why the SEC implemented that one year wait if you do "travel" from one SEC team to another? Think about it like this, he was on The University of Florida Football team coaching staff... that player, still signed to play for the Gators. That's a contract much like a no-compete clause in a business contract. Yes, that is tampering...
Yes, unless they recently got rid of it. Sec to sec has to be approved. That's what UGA did with cox that forced him to sit a year. They slow played the process so he couldn't suit up.
