Jimbo Fisher is in his first recruiting cycle since taking over as head coach at Texas A&M, and he joined the Paul Finebaum Show to discuss the new early signing period on Thursday.
A number of coaches have weighed in negatively on the early period. Nick Saban, among others, recently indicated that he is not a fan of the period and said that it adds more stress to players and coaches across the board.
While Fisher did say he likes having an early period, he admitted that he believes having the early period in the summer would be a better fit.
Paul Finebaum shared Fisher’s comments on Twitter:
