Joel Klatt sees a trend bubbling up, and it could lead to a brain drain of college football coaches to the NFL.

Klatt appeared on a segment on “The Next Round” and discussed how recent changes to the calendar have compressed several major developments into December. Bowl preparation, the transfer portal, the Early Signing Day and staff changes are all managed in a matter of weeks, if not overlapping days.

“Every single coach in the college game is growing sick and tired of, not transfers and NIL, but the mashed up calendar in which they have to deal with all of it at the same time,” Klatt said. “The calendar in college football is going to be one of the biggest hindrances to keeping talented coaches. I think there are going to be other coaches, not just Jim Harbaugh, that are going to be made overtures from the NFL. I think Lincoln’s (Riley) going to get overtures, I think Ryan Day’s going to get overtures and what these guys are going to start looking at is their quality of life. When you’ve gotta deal with what is going on in the month of December, it makes no sense. We need to fix the calendar if we want to retain some of our quality coaches at this level.”
