I WAS TALKING ABOUT RICH OR ANY OTHER COACH.

I know what you mean. For all of the money that many Division 1 football teams generate for their schools, it sometimes seems that the players don't get much of a reward. Of course, the old arguement is that their scholarships are worth a college education. Let's face it, they are enterainment athletes generating huge amounts of money while being paid virtually nothing. To answer your question ... no I don't think it is fair.

I think so. What is the new school supposed to do for a year if its new head football coach has to sit out a year? If a player has to sit out, the new team can still field a team and be competitive.
It would only be fair, however, if the player did not lose a year of eligibility, and I don't think that's the case. I think they have to use a redshirt year, of which they usually only get one (with the exception of medical redshirts). THAT makes it unfair.

Juice does make a valid point about athletes getting a pass for a year if their coach moves on. I know that there should be stability and all, but perhaps there should be a rule about a coach paying a penalty. Perhaps a loss of scholarships would keep coaches from jumping ship. New team loses x number of scholarships....that might be the best solution.

Mangino is good, but he hasnt played ANYBODY. Vanderbilt or Iowa could be 9-0 right now with that schedule. Seriously, give the guy some credit once he does something good. Im going to have to go with either my boy Jim Tressel or LSU's Les Miles, because theyre both in similar situations. Miles lost his star QB JaMarcus Russell, his two top wideouts Dwayne Bowe and Craig Davis, and his top safety LaRon Landry and still has a team poised to go to the National Championship. Tressell lost his Heisman winning QB Troy Smith, three great wideouts in Ted Ginn, Anthony Gonzalez and Roy Hall, his running back Antonio Pittman, his all confrence center Doug Datish, and all confrence DT Quinn Pitcock. What do each of these men do? They simply replace them and go about business as usual. No Troy Smith? Dont worry, Todd Boeckman is beginning to look more and more like the next Tom Brady every game. No Ginn/Gonzo/Pittman? Brian Robiske and Brian Hartline have filled the shoes nicely and sophomore tailback Chris Wells is seemingly unstoppable. You lose JaMarcus Russell, #1 overall pick, and bring in Matt Flynn and Ryan Perriloux, the QB duo that has more than worked out. You lose Bowe/Davis? Early Doucet has emerged as possibly the nation's top wideout. And, I hope its not too soon to speak, but this years LSU squad is looking an awful lot like last year's National Champion Gators team, with all the speed, the 2 QB system and the great D. Both LSU and Ohio State have the marks of great teams, but my edge goes to Les Miles and the Bayou Bengals, who have played one of the toughest schedules in the land and executed to perfection some of the most gutsy calls Ive ever seen. Coach of the year, Les Miles, Mr. 4th down himself.

Absolutely not! I'll assume you're asking in reference to Rich Rodriguez signing w/ Alabama when he, only a few months ago signed w/ West Virginia. I don't know why they go thru the motions of signing contracts in athletics anymore. In college the coaches don't honor them; in the pro's the players don't honor them. What happened to being a person whose word meant something?

Actually, if there is a coaching change the player doesn't have to sit out a year. Nor does a recruit have to stick with their commitment.

nope its not fair. its BS. but the rule is to keep college kids from transferring every semester to a different college sort of like free agency in professional sports. you dont want to see the same college kid playing for four different colleges.

no it is not fair at all, a coach that resigns should have the same penalty as the player does

absolutely not.....the coach leads the team and makes the plays but the players run them to perfection....
