Changing coaches now is not good...

When you do it right before NSD ( early one ) you kill your class and set your program back a year(S) because of it. Jeff Scott at U.S.F. had an unranked class last year and it will take another 2-3 years to get the players for his system. South Carolina right now has an unranked class, Auburn and Illinois ( I know a weak program to start ) are both in the 60 range and their class ranking.

I say you do it after NSD and take your chances the kids like the replacement. It could save you a year in building your team.

There is this thing called, you know, the transfer portal. We've seen so many players get immediate eligibility at another school because of coaching changes.

With the Transfer Portal, I think CFB will move towards that.I
