I believe it. I personally saw Kentucky stealing Bama's signals last year.

This is what you want them to say. Anytime they aren’t focused on fixing their own real problems, the rest of the league benefits.

Did Kentucky place Stallions on the payroll after the South Carolina game? It would explain a lot.

Jokes on them. We barely have our own shite together enough to get our own play calls in.

We must not have been very good at it then.

Well maybe we spotted Bama a 28 point win for fun

Sign stealing is a part of every single major sport. Change them if you think the opponent has them figured out.

Happened to us a few years ago I agree it on the coaches to keep changing the signals up.
I can’t blame any team that gains an advantage by stealing signs that’s part of the sport.

Since when is sign stealing a bad thing?



Pretty much forever. Generally there are rules around how you do it though

Note to board warriors


In game sign stealing is not a rule violation

Film review sign stealing is not a rule violation

Sign stealing is a violation ONLY if you scout in person a game in which your team is not playing. ( i e Michigan)

I've always felt if your signals get stolen, it's your own fault. Especially since nobody prevents them from going to a huddle and they choose to use those big pictures on the side.

I would think any decent coach would just assume everyone is stealing their signals and find a way around it. I couldn't imagine setting up a public server and thinking "well, just hope nobody clicks that button that says access to everything".

Either go old school, or quit pretending the players can handle the depth the game use to have and give them all headsets in their helmets.

Not the fact that we have routinely had close games with Georgia (particularly in Lexington) because we grind out the offense to take control of TOP.


Might want to try a different strategy hasn't been going too well for y'all.

It happens.

It definitely hasn't prevented us from winning three in a row over Florida though.

Sign stealing is no different than reading someone’s tells at the poker table. It’s one thing to be annoyed by sign stealing but if that’s the reason you lost then you’re in over your head as a D1 football coach.

You'll have to be way more specific about what you mean by "stealing signs" for this to mean anything.
