Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze, who runs a fast-paced offense, told the (Jackson, Miss.) Clarion-Ledger this week that he, Spurrier, Auburn’s Gus Malzahn, Texas A&M’s Kevin Sumlin and Tennessee’s Butch Jones have been the SEC coaches working the hardest to stop the rule change before it gets started.
“We divided up names that we were going to call that we felt like had an interest in this,” Freeze told the newspaper. “We have routinely had a group of us calling the rules committee pretty regularly to continue to stress our opinion of where this is headed.”

The issue is officiating.
Saban noted that in the NFL officials stand over the ball until officials are ready to call the game.
"Whether we like it or not as officials, the college rule is different than the NFL rule," Shaw said. "The college rule says when the ball is ready it can be snapped. So what we've got to do is be very consistent -- and I'm not just talking SEC, I'm talking nationally. This is a big topic with (officiating) coordinators: How do we stay very consistent from a timing perspective on when the ball is ready and certainly any time there's substitutions?"
Conference officiating coordinators, along with College Football Officiating, LLC, are in the process of writing up specific standards of how to spot the ball ready for play "for every official in America to read and understand," Shaw said.
In the SEC, Shaw said the general principle is the umpire will almost always spot the ball. The umpires are instructed to don't sprint, don't walk, but to jog crisply.
"I have nine SEC crews," Shaw said. "When you talk about pace, you have different athleticism of umpires. What is a crisp jog to one guy is maybe not the exact same crisp jog to another guy."

Well it is the "10 second rule"...they probably didn't want to include Miles in matters concerning a clock...
