Thoughts? Is it going to get crazy if a so called verbal commit doesn't sign early? Is this a good thing? I have no idea.

It seems like it would be a lot of pressure on coaching staffs with their bowl and playoff games right around the corner.

McElroy using his story of decommitting from Texas Tech as a reason it is bad

I like McElroy but not sure I agree with point

I suspect that the early signing period will be moved in a couple of years because of the timing issues of the current date.

Won't be surprised to see it in the first week of December.

I like it. If you're committed, go ahead an sign. Could cut out a lot of the BS games being played also.

I was for it but now I'm against it.

Finals, bowl game prep, new coaching jobs.

Its going to play havoc with college coaches jobs.

With the early signing period do you dare to wait till the end of the season to fire a bad coach? And if you do fire him early the pressure is on to announce your new guy... even though he's still coaching at his current school.

Not just head coaches but Coordinators too. If your OC has accepted a head coaching gig the pressure for him to start right away on emergency recruiting is going to be huge. Not an ideal situation if you are trying to get your team ready for a conference championship or big bowl game.

Schools that can establish some continuity, same head coach, same coordinators, are going to make out like bandits.

It'll benefit non-power schools more than anybody, IMO. They'll be able to lock down the kids that typically would be getting an SEC offer when teams have to go to their backup options in February.

By Bama not having to play in the SEC championship game gave them an extra week to work on recruiting.
