More from the recent NCAA changes that included removing CBD from banned substances also included this:
As you can read in this article, the relaxing of the rules allows for the following:
The NCAA Division I Council on Tuesday approved a rule change that will allow all football staff members to provide coaching instruction during practice and games, a change that removes some restrictions on the NCAA’s previous maximum of 11 “countable” coaches.
The rule is meant to address the large staffs some of the bigger programs hire with ambiguous titles such as “quality control” coaches, analysts, directors of player personnel and player development.
Instead of the gray area that existed before, which for many schools was a compliance nightmare, those staff members will now be allowed to provide hands-on instruction. The rule isn’t intended to be a green light for head coaches to hire 12 new assistants. Instead, the idea is to modernize the rule and allow for scenarios such as when fired head coaches are recycled onto other staffs in the guise of a “quality control” coach who previously might have ignored the rule to provide instruction.
More headsets, more coaches…and no more “quality control” labels? What will they be called now? Something tells me Kirby knew this was coming…but what it does mean is that we still have the chance to witness more classic Muschamp sideline and coaching antics in his remaining days at Georgia.
