If we're ok with coaches being fired mid season, then we should be ok if they leave

I'm not sold on Lane to LSU ( and Rebels, you can thank Orgeron for this situation. He found a way to frick y'all over again), but I honestly think that if he leaves mid season then only the Ole Miss fans have a right to degrade and attack the man's actions.
If a coach can be fired mid season and it's supported, sometimes cheered, by fans and media, then it would be hypocritical to not do the same for a coach that decides to leave.
Either we are okay with the parting of ways during the season or we only support it after the season. No coaches should be fired until after the last game.

The calendar does need to be fixed. This thing is much higher stakes due to the early signing period being in December and the portal being at the beginning of January.
Honestly, I think you get rid of ESD altogether and make February signing day again. And the portal can open up after the National championship and end with Signing Day in February. We feel railroaded by now because time is the obstacle. This may cause a problem with not having early enrollees out of high school, but I think it’s better for Athletic Departments overall. Leave all this negotiation for bowl season, not week 8.

Except those are nothing alike.
In one case, your season is almost certainly already shot and everybody knows it. It actually gives your fired coach a chance to work on his next gig.
In the other, the coach is bailing on a team that is almost definitionally having a good to great year with much left to play for.
In both cases, the coach gets out better with the early exit. In the latter, though, the team and fans that were part of the success that got him that new gig are the ones that get screwed.

Honestly, if we stop making these kids go to school, which at this point why not, then they can probably fix the calendar. Have collective bargaining that doesn’t let coaching hires to be made until after the season ends. Put the portal window in Feb/Mar after the CFP, same with NSD. If we don’t have to worry about enrollment for spring semester, then it wouldn’t matter putting all these deadlines out after the entire playoffs are over.

What Lane is doing is shitty.
Coaches have every right to make a decision for themselves and don’t owe anything to anyone outside of their contract.
These two sentences are not mutually exclusive

If you want it to be like the NFL, then just be an NFL fan.

Not sure if you’ve been paying attention but we’re already there my man.

Maybe.
But people here agreed with and supported Penn State firing Franklin after he had the first real rough patch in his tenure. Hell, people even justified it with "it was time. He hit his ceiling and they expect more than he can provide."
That was shitty of Penn State to just dismiss him mid season. The man rebuilt the program from essentially a death penalty, and consistently won. He made them respectable and even managed to repair their image from the horrendous scandal that their God-Coach oversaw. And they threw him to the curb.
At least Orgeron was given a farewell tour after being informed of his termination. And he went out a winner because his team loved him and was given the chance to send him off a winner.
But honestly, if we aren't ok with the Kiffin and Kelly situations, then CFB needs to adopt the NFL rule that forbids teams talking to coaches during the season.

Doesn't matter in my book. If the school can fire a coach mid season, a coach can fire his employer mid season. It is what it is, it's his reputation to burn.

I dont blame Lane, even if we've all been trolled and he ends up somewhere else.
You can't expect schools to sit back and lose their chance.
Florida fired Napier before LSU fired Kelly, and all the chatter was they were grabbing Kiffin. And they still might, we don't know for sure yet. But when that started, LSU and other such teams were put into the position of "move now, or take leftovers".
And if you're going to chase a guy at another school, you can't afford to wait for him to finish.

I don’t know why. He sucked gigantic donkey balls as our head coach.

I don’t understand why so many people cannot grasp why the portal has to be in early January and not late Jan into Feb.
School starts for pretty much every school around Jan 20th. You have to be properly enrolled in the spring semester in order to participate winter strength and conditioning programs and spring practice.
Now… if you want to abolish spring practice completely and have mini camps all summer long like the NFL does, then a late portal after the season ends will work.

The spate of mid-season firings has caused this hysteria.

Since college football players are employees, there shouldn't be semester restrictions on them.

I guess we’ll start having transfer portal for coaches now.
