DESTIN, Fla. – The next time Will Muschamp, Nick Saban, Kirby Smart or any college football head coach runs onto a field to protest a call in a game, they’re going to be flagged.

That’s the result of a change in officiating, what the NCAA rules committee is calling a “heightened focus” on coaches not straying on to the field to argue with officials.

Coaches who enter the field of play to question, protest or otherwise demonstrate disagreement with an officiating decision are subject to an immediate 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.”

Two such penalties lead to a coach being ejected.

Odds are pretty low that the REC will allow this to apply to Saban.

Bama will not tolerate any opposing coach interfering with the refs deciding a game for Bama.

So what are we doing to hold officials accountable for their shitty arse officiating?

That's right, nothing. If they don't want a coach absolutely tearing their asses maybe they need to do better.

His fate is surely sealed.

Boom will absolutely have an aneurism if he can't yell at a ref from the field.

His name was Boom Paulson.

Can hear the announcers now: "Saban should have been flagged there for being nearly 10 yards on the field to argue that call, but somehow wasn't." We will hear that like 10 times each game with Saban never receiving a flag.

Meanwhile,

"Derek Mason was literally one foot off the sideline arguing with the ref, and now Alabama will win the game due to the ref's call."

This year is going to be fun.

Isn't this essentially the point of the sideline warning? So it sounds like they will just remove the warning which is stupid

Well said. Although I don't think it makes much of a difference to say anything. Saban pointed out Clemson's first pick play in the NC and the officials still let them get away with it again, for instance.

Butch Jones will be the first coach kicked out of a game. Book it.

We have so many potential candidates. Stoops can get salty as frick over some officials. Boom is well documented in his sideline crazy.

Godspeed to the young men assigned to keep these guys on the sideline.

Well this is fricking bullshite. It's a right of passage as an official to get ripped into by a coach when said coach believes you have made a mistake.

Let's just call it The mUSChamp Rule ... it is what it is.

Plenty of things are named after coaches.

The Fulmer Cup

The Dooley Rule

The Butch Directive
