I am sure this is Germans, Correct?
I looked, but have been at the hospital all day...
If it isn't Germans, go full boar ahead..

Getting rid of two-a-days is a smart move. It should help players stay healthier and recover from nagging injuries.
Tenth coach is good for us but really benefits the bigger schools more than the smaller FBS schools which may be at a bit of disadvantage there with salaries and budgets.
Not sure about the early signing period. I can see pros and cons for it and I'm sure a few schools will figure out a way to advantage themselves while it's new but once whatever strategy they come up with is well known it will even out.

Why have an early signing period if schools are just going to let students out of their letter of intent anyway?

I actually found the link to the Bo Davis penalty more informative. Ha.
It's going to be interesting to see how the early signing one will work out. May just fade away, and not used much. Especially if early enough to where kids are still playing in HS. If they get hurt...what happens with the scholly? Will HS Srs start protecting themselves once they've agreed to it. Etc etc
I get the purpose, and agree with it. Just seeing different ways it can go bad. First school wanting to pull the scholarship of a kid who had a career ending injury, and he cant go get an education for free will create a marketing nightmare. Best just find money for him somewhere else.
Lots of UT people hate Dooley, but iirc he offered a scholarship to a friend of a major recruit who came with him to a UT camp, and got hurt. Perhaps more to it, but from the outside looking in it was a nice move.

I can imagine a scenario where the first time a kid wants to sign early and the school tells him, "not yet - wait until February," kind of thing happens .... so there are some nuances to all of this that are going to be interesting.
December though, it's not such a big deal.
August would have made more sense if they were going to go full bore with this filling.
December seems like a minor capitulation to the few who have been pushing for an early signing period for years. Those being the smaller schools from Tier 2 conferences who were trying to prevent losing commits to the P5 just before, or on, Signing Day.

On the basketball end the early signing period has been fine. You have guys that know where they want to go early and go ahead and sign with a program, allowing them to focus on the rest of their senior year of HS. A lot of the top players will wait until the later period so they can see what rosters look like after players declare for the NBA or transfer.
Personally, I like it for football because it'll likely benefit somewhere like Kentucky who has lost some top kids to some powerhouses who swoop in at the last minute of the late period with an offer when one of their other recruits doesn't pan out.

As for the 10th coach, I think it's probably assured that Alabama will use that for a quarterback coach. I wonder if it will be Chris Weinke or former Ole Miss O.C/QB coach Dan Werner, both of whom are already on Saban's staff as offensive analysts.
