I get where this sentiment comes from, because the coaches are the guys the recruits and SA's are going to interact with. But it's also a case of Caveat emptor, where the recruit needs to do their due diligence and be ready for unexpected changes. One would likely if you know if your coach was endangered of getting fired. If they got a new job offer at a new school, that's a little less predictable.
Which is why I said in the first place, you shouldn't commit to a COACH. You should commit to a SCHOOL. Coaches can leave at any time. Go to the school where you can see yourself getting a degree, because even at the D1 level and SEC, only a very small percentage of players get a shot at the next level.
Ironically, this is THE most impactful thing happening in College football right now and nobody wants to talk about it.

No it is not a buyer beware issue.
Every other kid that gets an academic scholarship is freely allowed to transfer w/o restrictions if the teacher they went to that school leaves or academic program is not what they thought it would be. They are not forced to sit out of their chosen academic field if they wish to transfer. They are not restricted on what schools they can transfer to.
Athletes are screwed out of that while coaches can blatantly lie to trick them into signing and freely leave whenever they want. This will only make things worse for the kids.
