Lane Kiffin: 'It Really is a Dumb System' to Open Transfer Portal Before Bowls
The end of the college football regular season is really just the beginning of the juggling act for coaches across the country.
And Lane Kiffin isn't a fan of it.
"We just try to make the best of the situations," the Ole Miss head coach told reporters Tuesday. "It really is a dumb system."
The system in place features an early national signing day period that runs from Dec. 4-6 and a transfer portal window that runs from Dec. 9-28. That means coaches and teams are preparing for bowl games and the College Football Playoff while drastic roster changes are taking place at the same time.
"The season's not over yet, and there's a free agency window open," Kiffin said.
