Coaches Hypocrisy Regarding the Transfer Portal!
Posted on 7/21/19 at 7:58 am

I don't understand why many of the coaches are down on the transfer portal. If these same coaches honored their contracts and didn't switch jobs until their contracts were up, then I'd sympathize with them. Many of them make promises to high school recruits, then after they sign up to become apart of their program these head coaches seek and take other coaching jobs. Coaches the likes of Urban Meyer, Nick Saban, Jimbo Fisher, etc. are all hypocrites for criticizing players transferring, while believing it's okay for them to leave a university and not honor their signed contracts.

They are being hypocritical but I think the coaches have more of a problem with the amount of transfers getting waivers to play immediately than the portal.
There is no way that Justin Fields and Tate Martell should be eligible to play this year.

I wonder how many of the complainers would refuse to take a player from the transfer portal?

I would take a transfer portal player of need, but I don't think that was the point he was making.

Thus in a perfect world they would excel in their chosen field (NCAA CFB).

One of the obvious draws to this "portal" is young players are likely to find immediate gratification by being awarded starting time in their first year without being groomed to assume the responsibilities of team leadership, Its wine that is not matured.

Coaches need to shut up about this transfer portal. They're always chasing the next the next big job and could careless about the players. Let the players go where they want to go and enjoy their college experience! If the NCAA makes a change that all coaches must honor their contracts before moving, then I will agree that players must honor their commitment! Until then, they need to shut up!

This is the better point than the OP worrying about coaching contracts which is a completely different situation.

Some coaches have no problem processing kids, withdrawing schollies offers after commitments, but don’t like the transfer portal because it helps the individual athlete.
Coaches like complete control.

I have no problem with the transfer portal . It's an adaptation to today's reality.
Also, the coaches are just saying what's in their best interests. They'll criticize their guy for entering the portal but they're no doubt window shopping for other players that have entered. It's hypocritical but understandable. They're under pressure to win.

Kids should be able to go wherever they want if they meet the qualifications for that school.

Supposedly the NCAA has tightened the criteria for such waivers. The sitting out a whole season is a bit stern and only applies in FCS to FCS transfers.
I understand the coaches POV, concerns and problems it causes. However, in my mind the interest of the players comes first.
The problems with roster management could be somewhat alleviated by having a compensation allowance for the next recruiting period: lose one, gain one.
It seems counterproductive to force a kid to stay against his wishes.

Old...this is such a bad take. If it’s a trolling attempt, it’s about 3/10. First, this isn’t political in any sense. Second, if you genuinely believe that the contracts between players and schools shouldn’t be equal for both parties then you may not be American.
The schools have something of value (education, NFL exposure, etc) and they want the prestige and money that come from winning on the big stage. They need the players.
The players have something of value too (namely, talent) and they have a limited window to leverage that in order to catch the eye of the NFL or to play their final four years.
If it isn’t a fit for either party, they should be able to make a change. If it’s good for the coaches and schools, it should be good for the players. The worst system is one where a school can lock a kid in under one set of conditions, then change his coach or decide they don’t need him to play much, and he’s forced to stay. Let the kid go just like any business would.

I'm in favor of the portal, but under certain circumstances. Like with Joe Burrow. He was an upperclassman that had little chance of getting the starting job. His time is running out. But for a 2nd year player who lettered his first year and is transferring because he isn't the starter, no, not in favor. Look what Nick did last season. And I don't know why he never redshirted? He stayed and worked and when the time came he produced and had an outstanding sr season. For a 2nd year player to leave it's not good. I mean, that's just a player pissed off that he wasn't given the starting job. That to me is a selfish act and an unnecessary one. That is more of a player quitting, not transferring to play. A 2nd year player that lettered his first year would get plenty of playing time. So I can understand why some would be against it. These players are young, and giving them a way out of a situation just because they don't like their position on the depth chart is aiding in a quitters mentality. Like I said, for an upperclassman who is looking at sitting on the bench the whole season, yes, I can understand, but when a player isn't first string in their 2nd season and is looking at getting plenty of playing time, no, that's just a quitter.
