Big deal, if the opponent can't figure out signs are being stolen, it is their problem. Same goes in baseball.

Yeah, not sure why this is considered news.

JMac said they changed up their signals before the UGA game. Smart coaches keep switching them up to stop the spy crap from helping anyone.

I've never understood why people think this is cheating. Not directing anything at you, Carib, just don't understand why?

was it cheating when the Nazi code was cracked?

So, one is a fastball, two is a curve, and three is a slider, right?

A couple of different times throughout my career, we had wristbands with all the plays on them, and the defense started figuring them out from when the QB would call them out. Know what we did? Printed new play sheets at halftime.

Stealing signals? Big deal. This is one of the first things we learned on our first youth sports team: stealing and/or protecting signals. It is part of the game.

Little disappointed at the depth of some of your analyzing abilities. Stealing signs has been around since the dawn of sports. The point of the post is Saban admits to doing at several places but NOT Alabama, you believe that? I don't , that's why the liar part.

Issue is that you said that it was cheating. I don't think anyone thinks that it's cheating. It's gamesmanship.
