Buy A Coach…Get The Team

Post by Pebblebeachguy »

Unlimited free agency in semi-pro football (college) can theoretically result in a school paying a fortune to a top 3 coach whose players love him, and get all the top players to follow that coach.

For example, let’s say a school spends $20M a year to snag a Kirby Smart and his coaching staff and spends another $20M in NIL to take most all his best 5 and 4 stars to follow him.

You just BOUGHT Georgia coaching, players and cohesive understanding of and time in Kirby’s system.

Completely different from A&M where everything was mix and match.

$40 Million a year buys you the WORKS

With the Billions being thrown by ESPN, and with unscrupulous ADs and BMDs…. this is coming.

Not quite... Almost .. we are at the point where a coach leaves, a few go with him, half the team transfers to other places .... I agree that trend is next ..

Nine players from Arizona entered the portal when their coach took the Washington job. Wonder where they might wind up?

Boy some great points. I really had not given that a lot of thought. Buy this is has happened some what with Prime time and
the Buffs at Colorado. They are doing it at a slower rate with coaches but there working on it. I really question how good a coach
Prime Time is, as far as a coach, but he has been hiring some good ones around him. I question how long that works in the long
term with them, but the short term has work very well.
