NoKoolAidForME Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 New recruiting rule will restrict coaches-in-waiting by John Taylor on February 10, 2010 1:51 PM ET Right about now, there are probably quite a few upset people in the offices of the Texas football program. According to the Dallas Morning News, the NCAA recently approved a new rule that limits the amount of contact a designated coach-in-waiting can have with recruits. Basically, the coach-in-waiting will be forced to recruit under the same guidelines as head coaches, meaning less visits with potential recruits than other assistants on the staff. Here's the relevant information from the NCAA on the restrictions that have previously applied to head coaches, and will now apply to their designated successors: 13.1.2.6 Head Coach Restrictions -- Bowl Subdivision Football. 13.1.2.6.1 Assistant Coach Publicly Designated as Institution's Next Head Coach. An institution's assistant coach who has been publicly designated by the institution to become its next head coach shall be subject to the recruiting restrictions applicable to the institution's head coach. B. Bylaws: Amend 13.1.8.4, as follows: 13.1.8.4 Limitations on Number of Evaluations -- Football. In football, institutional staff members shall be limited to three evaluations during the academic year during which the prospective studentathlete competes or practices on any team. Not more than one evaluation may be used during the fall evaluation period and not more than two evaluations may be used during the April 15 through May 31 evaluation period. An authorized off-campus recruiter may use one evaluation to assess the prospective student-athlete's athletics ability and one evaluation to assess the prospective studentathlete's academic qualifications during the April 15 through May 31 evaluation period. If an institution's coaching staff member conducts both an athletics and an academic evaluation of a prospective student-athlete on the same day during the April 15 through May 31 evaluation period, the institution shall be charged with the use of an academic evaluation only and shall be permitted to conduct a second athletics evaluation of the prospective student-athlete on a separate day during the evaluation period. 13.1.8.4.1 Head Coach Restriction -- Spring Evaluation Period. In bowl subdivision football, during the April 15 through May 31 evaluation period, the head coach [and any assistant coach who has been publicly designated by the institution to become the next head coach (see Bylaw 13.1.2.6.1)] shall not engage in off-campus recruiting activities, participating in off-campus recruiting activities, participating in an off-campus coaching clinic, visit a prospective student-athlete's educational institution for any reason or meet with a prospective studentathlete's coach at an off-campus location. Obviously, this new piece of legislation will affect Texas more than any other program in the country. Will Muschamp was designated as the Longhorns' coach-in-waiting in November of 2008. He's also one of the top recruiters in the country and one the reasons why the Longhorns pull in a Top Ten recruiting class year in and year out. For those institutions and fans of the college football game who are against the idea of designating a coach-in-waiting, this is good news and one that we would think would all but eliminate the practice. For Texas? It sucks, to be blunt (Maryland too, I guess.). But it will really have more of an impact on the Longhorns and seems to be a rule directed squarely at the school, even though it wasn't as it was proposed by the Big East. And Florida State can feel fortunate that it didn't go into effect until after their best recruiter, Jimbo Fisher, officially took over for Bobby Bowden. Quote Link to comment

husker rob Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 screw texas and the ncaa. all the ncaa is doing is going to cause colleges in the future to not announce who the coach is going to be when the current coach decides to retire from football. next i see the NCAA putting restrictions on coaches that have the title "Assistant Head Coach" 3 Quote Link to comment

This rule is petty and stupid. It will be easy for teams to work around it. In the meantime, UT gets shafted. Oh, not that it bothers me for UT to get shafted. But the rule is kinda unfair to Tejas University. HA ha! (in Nelson Muntz voice) Quote Link to comment

mmmtodd Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 one year to put their lawyers on it, find a loop hole, draw up a new contract and keep him in the same pay grade and position, without the "head coach in waiting" title. Quote Link to comment
