Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin on Tuesday called college football's current setup "a dumb system," and he wasn't referring to the playoff selection process for a change.
Kiffin, who has been outspoken about his team and others from the powerhouse Southeastern Conference getting left out of the College Football Playoff, ripped the college calendar that forces many coaches to juggle a transfer window while preparing for bowl games. It came on the heels of several coaches having to squeeze national signing day into a week of preparation for conference championship games.
"We just try to make the best of the situations," Kiffin said during a Zoom call for coaches headed to the Gator Bowl. "It really is a dumb system."
I think he has a very valid point. Players entering the portal before all the bowls and CFP just water down the product. How many schools will have next to no one left to play in the bowl? Coaches shoudl be spending their time prepping for their games, not juggling players coming and going.
IMO, the portal should open the day after the national title game, at the earliest.
