re: Tulane letting Sumrall Coach conference championship game although going to Florida

This is a conference game, not a national championship run that goes into January.

Also, on being the right thing for the players... that is a double standard in today's landscape.

If college football wasn't a bunch of paid mercenaries now, then sure.
Players leave all the time, quitting on coaches and teammates for more NIL money, a chance at more play time, or to avoid the possibility injury going into the combine. Happens every year for a multitude of reasons.

When a coach wants to better himself by moving on though, he is somehow shitting on the players and doing the wrong thing?

If Kiffin is coaching for Ole Miss, possibly well into January, then he is going to be focused on Ole Miss. He will miss early signing day, he will miss the off campus recruiting period, he could possibly miss the entire transfer portal window (though no one thinks ole miss is going to make it to the championship game). How then will he build his new team? You can't have two coaching jobs and put 100% into both of them at the same time.

College football as we all knew and loved it is dead.
IMHO, it's time to concede that 'doing the right thing for the players' when they are all on payroll is a moot argument.
