Should the sec change their rules?

[state2013]

I Propose a one year waiting period for coaches who want to make lateral changes voluntarily during their contract like the players sitting out a season for transferring. Also all schools should have an equal set amount of money to spend on a coaching staff. Kind of like the NBA with their players. Restricted free agents can go seek more money at another sec school but the current school can match it. I see giving coaches free reign to hop within the conference in the middle of their contract totally unfair. It can and could happen to at least 5 schools in this conference and I don't think any of them want to be a spring board school for the teams they compete with. And why in the hell would we give permission to let go of one of our best assets in all of our athletic department. What other profession would give the OK for a competitor to talk to a staff member too? There is a reason there hasn't been any first time champions in Football in over 20 years and it won't change with ******** like this allowed to happened.

These would both be terrible rules and will get all the consideration they deserve, none.

Dah, comrade.

This would only make it harder for the non Elite schools in the conference to hire coaches

Horrible rules, but a way to even the playing field would to be not have member schools poach other school's coaches. Precedent has been set. If Vandy ever gets another good coach again, they won't be going to Penn St, they will be going to MSU, I mean LSU!**

Why? Its been over 40 years since a team not named georgia, florida, alabama, auburn, tennessee or lsu have won a sec championship. That's only 43% of the teams in this conference have a won a title since 1977. In the same time frame 71% of teams in big 10, 62% of teams in acc, 71% of pac 12 and 64% of teams in big 12 have won a conference championship. At some point we need to realize our school along with ole miss and others will never achieve continued success in this sport until there is a true monetary value and limits placed on the players we are allowed to play for our team. Until then preventing coach poaching in the league seems like a more realistic way to even the playing field. Just like schools can't recruit players that have already signed a LOI.

Don't think we need a rule, but do think the Commissioner should do like Slive is reported to have done....make it an unwritten rule along the lines of, "if you steal another SEC's HC, there will be hell to pay for you going forward". I think it should be limited to HC's, and perhaps OC/DC unless they are offered an HC position.

Stealing HC's from other SEC programs does not help the conference.

I agree 100% with this.

I think setting salary caps for coaching staffs would probably be illegal, restraint of trade or something like that. However, since athletes have to sit out a year if they choose to leave and go to another school, then I think it would be fair if coaches also had to do that.
