The word loyalty is being thrown around too much in this Kiffin saga...

Players don't have loyalty anymore. They simply leave for more playing time and/or money. They are simply doing what is best for them, regardless of their teammates or how much their current school has invested in them.

While this is a somewhat novel concept for players, coaches have done this for years. Of course the timing sucks for Ole Miss, but more than half of their roster consists of players that ditched their previous schools to come there. There shouldn't be any cries of disloyalty towards Kiffin from that standpoint.

This is what college football is now. It's the wild west. There is no more seeing how players develop in the system. It's a conglomeration of hired mercenaries.

TLDR: Coaches have never really had loyalty. Players no longer have loyalty. Go make that money.
