While the SEC has yet to officially cancel spring football camps, there isn’t much chance spring camps will be happening given the rate of cancelations around the sports world in recent weeks.

So how will coaches get players up to speed in time for the season after missing out on spring camp?

Nick Saban shared his idea during his most recent media availability on Thursday.

“Obviously, we have 14 practices in the spring, not counting A-Day, which makes 15, which is not gonna happen,” Saban said during his teleconference. “If there was some kind of way we could have 14 days of teaching with our players sometime before fall camp happens, I think that probably would be beneficial.”

It’s an interesting idea and one that makes sense.

Giving coaches the opportunity to make up for 14 days of practice in exchange for extra time to scheme makes sense. This type of work could even likely be done remotely — if need be.

“Historically we’re not allowed to work with our players in the summertime,” Saban added. “This would be hypothetical that at some point in time in the summer we would have the players back here and we would be able to work with them. And I’m not talking about having pads on or anything, but just be able to teach system, teach scheme.”

For teams around the SEC, this idea could be very beneficial before they hit the practice field. There’s little doubt first-year coaches and new coordinators around the league would be on board with this idea, as losing the spring could prove to be devastating to each program dealing with new schemes heading into the fall.
