If coaches have the freedom to come and go without penalty, so athletes if the coach leaves.
And coaches NEVER should have been able to block transfers to certain schools.
I don't agree with never. I believe that a coach should be able to block a transfer to any scheduled opponents during the span of eligibility for competitive reasons. If a player wants to transfer from East Central State the ECS coach should be able to block them from going to Middle Northern Tech if Middle Northern Tech is on their schedule every year.
That would be the only blocking I would be in favor of.
Why should a coach be able to take a new job with a school that is a scheduled opponent of their current school, but a player can't do the same?
Dan Mullen and Florida play Mississippi State NEXT YEAR. To be fair with Kaplony, Florida needs to forfeit the game.
You might have a point if Mississippi State was locked in to playing the exact same style of ball they played when Mullen was there, but with a new coaching staff comes a new style of play so you don't.
A player leaving a team to go to an opponent provides an unnatural insight into how a team is going to do things.
