re: 5 SEC head coaches teamed up against the "Saban Rule"

Don't you ever get tired of being both wrong and full of shite?

You have to be wrong to get tired of it. I am sure you can give everyone some pointers on what its like. The offense controlling the clock isn't a loop hole and your HC did try to help sneak a rule through.

The playclock rule was put in place to keep the refs from dragging around and to speed up the game. The game is designed so that at any point the ball is ruled in play the offense can snap it. It is not a loop hole to snap the ball right after the ball is set. They are not supposed to wait on the defense.

Teams ran the HUNH with success before the rule change. Gus led the nation in offense the year before they changed it. The game changes and so do the rules. Most coach don't mind the HUNH. So there is no need to change rules for a couple whiny coaches that want the game to be like the 50's. The simple fact that Saban and Bret can't even come up with a good excuse to pass a rule, shows you there isn't one.

The rules were changed in 2008 to shorten the games.

I said speed the games up. If they want to shorten the games they either have to give less time for the game or don't stop the clock as much. Telling people what they can do with their given time isn't going to shorten the games. Seconds are just the same no matter how fast or slow you play.

I thought you didn't like rule changes?

I am for rules to help CFB overall. Not to help a couple of coaches that think they deserve special treatment. If other coaches can sub against HUNH teams then its no ones fault but their own that they can't and there shouldn't be a rule made to accommodate them.

The hurry up and wait at the LOS offense? Ninja please.

The NCAA adopted the NFL play clock. But they had to make adjustments. Peyton and the Colts would not huddle but would line up at scrimmage and Peyton would call the plays and make the adjustments, often taking the entire play clock. To combat this the NFL enacted a new delay of game rule, which gave the offense 20 seconds to run the play once the offense came to the line of scrimmage, but no more than the time allowed between plays. This means that if the offense comes to the LOS with 34 seconds on the clock they only have until 14 seconds to get the play off. If the offense comes to the LOS with 12 seconds left they have until 0 to get the play off.

This rule would do away with the practice of the offense lining up with 30 seconds on the clock then at 22 seconds looking to the sideline for the play and then snapping the ball with 4 seconds left on the clock. There are going to have to be adjustments made. This Fall expect to see officials try to keep the same place for getting a ball into play, some leagues using an extra official, and an explosion of fake injuries by defensive players. Major rule changes after next season.

Only vagina is your pissy crybaby coach..

Great comeback. But if I recall, Saban's trusty sidekick was the only coach crying over that. Everyone already knows he a vag too.

I have no problem with players flopping, then sitting out a play. I hope to see a lot of it this Fall.

Well, 4 of the 5 have to complain. They're jobs are on the line because the run this HUNH offense(high-school ball). They're not complete football coaches because they could care less about defense.

The Old Ball Coach, he's got a case of the "green-eyed monster". He doesn't want to be over shadowed by Saban on anything. He's worried about his legacy.

What's really funny is that you call it the Saban rule and he didn't author it or speak in favor of it. He just wanted the defense to be able to substitute.

Strange, Les Miles isn't on that list.

Miles is too classy to get involved in this argument.

Plus, he and Saban are boys. At least, he thinks he and Saban are boys.

Freeze has more power than Saban after the way Alabama's season ended

ALABAMA FANS: THE DEFENSE CAN SUBSTITUTE ANYTIME THEY WANT.
