The answer is to somehow make the same rules for players and coaches. That's probably the answer for when players or coaches get poached, there would need to a separate rule for coaches that are fired and players that are cut.

Make all contracts 4 years max. Coaches and players poached have to buy out the remainder of their contracts, cut Coaches and players get paid the remainder of their contracts while plying their trades elsewhere or elect to forfeit their remaining contract to be free transfers? Rickie Collins can cash checks from LSU and Syracuse while playing at Kennesaw State and Lane Kiffen can pay Ole Miss while coaching at LSU. SEC and B1G teams could end up like post Ferguson Man United in still paying 2 coaches they fired while also paying their current coach. No buyouts allowed, cut coaches and players get full contract life payments. Poaching schools will have to account for these payments in contract figures to make desired players and coaches whole during their remaining deals if they REALLY want them. On the hook for 10m in NIL for cut players? Guess that school only has 13m NIL for new players that season.

Should stop some of the churn and offer some protection to conferences, schools and fans footing the bills for everything. Teams wouldn't be so willing to gamble on starters elsewhere just to bury them 3rd or 4th string if they don't pan out. Would also empower players more by allowing free will while also protecting their current financial and scholarship status.
