SEC coaches not fans of new early signing period in football

To succeed in the Southeastern Conference, a school needs players.

To get them, a school need high school coaches.

Will Muschamp thinks college football decision-makers have lost sight of this, based on the decision to add an early signing period.

“My brother is a high school coach,” Muschamp said at the annual SEC spring meetings in Destin. “I have not met one high school coach that is for this legislation. I don’t know if they were even consulted. That is an important component because I believe with what commissioner (Greg) Sankey says that it’s not just about college football, it’s about the game of football.
