    I absolutely hate what has happened to college football. How is a fan supposed to stick with a team when the coaches and players are all short term rentals? Mad respect for Mark Few at Gonzaga who had options but stuck with the program in Spokane.

      I agree, but just stick with your team no matter what. I am a Fresno State fan and Deboer was only there 2 years before leaving to hop to Washington. Washington fans get mad at him for leaving in the same amount of time. Maybe the writing was on the wall already?

As a die hard Longhorn fan having been through heartache and coaching carousel for the last decade and a half, and coming off a loss to an outlier performance of a covid 6th year QB, only to learn he used up all his magic bank account against my team and showed his true self in the championship game, after all the ish the delusional husky fans talked over the course of the last two months...I find all of it amusing to say the least.. lol

    Maybe it's stupid.....
    All the universities form a trust and all coaches work for the trust. Each head coach would be subcontracted at what ever price is negotiated, just like now. The trust then could force the coaches to honor the contract eliminating buyouts. Fail to finish the contract, ineligible for 1 calander year starting at the contract breach date.
    All player must sign a 2 year letter of intent when they enter college, if the 2 year contract is broken, and eligible for 1 year.
    Cap the NIL with any amount, just make it so everyone operates on the same level. Spend how they want.

Everyone of us would sign a 5 million dollar contract today knowing we could get fired at any time.

A few short weeks ago I and thousands of other Duck fans endured a ridiculous amount of trash talk ( rightly so with regard to the two losses, UW was the better team in those days. But then also when it seemed as though WE were about to lose our HC to Alabama! Fast forward to a loss I. The NCG snd the loss of YOUR coach, most of your coaching staff and all of your best players! I’m sure we haven’t seen the last of de-commits and portal transfers! Ow a program in shaanbles ( at least in the short term). Might want to be a little more gracious next time around!

      Yeah, too bad they didn’t have a contingency plan already in place. A good internal promotion would’ve been perfect. Instead, it’s caused a massive domino affect. And it wouldn’t have matter if it was DeBoer or not. If it was Lanning, or Sark, or anyone else coach, except maybe Kiffin. Ole Miss wouldn’t have been as much of an allure, though 7-8 mil a year probably would’ve. The difference is that not every coach will move to Mississippi.
