No no, Nick supports the regulations and guidelines that cost other people their complete jobs and way of life. I have seen him on his ads. But now he has a problem with guidelines that simply keep him away from work
Next thing you know, Dr. Fauci will be seen at a baseball game with his mask pulled down over his chin.

does the afformentioned rule have anything to do with covid? Are the rules that Saban said to follow public health, covid-related measures set in place by government? How are these two things even comparable?
What difference does this make? If he's not in the stadium, he can't coach

They're saying he said to follow tbr covid rules and now that he has covid he wants to change the rules regarding the game.

That is reasonable, and I agree. I just think that calling Saban a hypocrite for urging people to follow public health measures, while also saying that he should be able to allowed to coach remotely is laughable.

I don't think Saban disagrees with the rule that existed before COVID. What has caused that rule to affect him is the application of those rules in conjunction with the rules in place because of COVID. It's all interrelated in the situation in question right now.
And I believe Saban wants people to follow both the various government mandates/guidelines as well as the guidelines/protocols put in place by the NCAA and SEC. It's not an either or thing.

what is the logic behind the NCAA and therefore SEC not allowing him to communicate with the team during the game? This is just insanity.

That's true. And believe me, I am someone who thinks that the draconian measures are bullshite, I just think that this a "rule" that should have clearly been tweaked beforehand when it was evident that covid would be affecting sports on such a level.

I think a lot of this is it has become somewhat common place for Saban to complain about some rule when it presents him with an inconvenience or perceived disadvantage. It's obviously human nature to care more about being vocal about unfairness of things when it starts to affect you. But, if we're being honest, this isn't the first time Saban has stood on his soap box about some rule he didn't complain about until it presented a challenge for him. I didn't see him make these statements when other coaches, such as Les Miles, found themselves in the same situation. My stance is in these unprecedented times, we all have to suck it up and deal with the shite sandwich we've been dealt and just appreciate the fact we're at least getting to play a season, however unusual it has been and will continue to be. Nothing is normal about this year and it won't or can't be.

The idea is that someone outside the stadium could potentially give the people on the field "insider info" on the other team, which is pretty stupid in itself, considering you can do everything on a smartphone or ipad on the sidelines that you can do outside the stadium.

pretty sure there are rules that prohibit having wireless communication on the sidelines or the box that extends outside communication b/t the two. They can have tablets to review film but they can't be connected to a network that communicates with anyone not in the press box. And allowing tablets on the sidelines, at the college level, is a fairly new rule. I believe the rules were amended to allow them in the past 2-3 years.

that would make more sense if this was 1973.
Alabama should just build him a deer stand, dress him in a hazmat suit put him on the 50 and make Emmert and Sankey say no.

I think it'd be great if schools just blocked out a huge section in the stands with temporary boxes built (like the injury tents) for coaches who may have tested positive. Put them in there way before anyone else is in the stadium or on the field and make them stay there throughout the game. You could have security guarding anyone from coming in and out of there and give those coaches a headset to where they could at least do something while ensuring everyone else is safe. However, with the people in charge, they're probably too scared that said coach may get too close to someone getting in and out of the stadium.

He will be on the phone with the coaches. Best believe that

The question I want answered is, does the AFLAC duck have COVID? I've never seen Saban wearing a mask around that duck. Also, is Saban going to file a short-term disability claim with the duck since he can't work due to illness?

You are pulling some real contortionist shite on the issue to fit your melty narrative my man.

Or, just during extenuating circumstances related to COVID, could they have a proctor from the NCAA observe Saban (or any coach) during the game, to prevent an unfair advantage?

You know one hand I do think he ought to be able to coach via headset but what you say makes sense. He supported all this virtue signaling and nonsense, so frick him. He'll just have to sleep in the bed he helped make.
