alexava 6,973 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Sounds like Saban whining after getting beat......it's somebody else's fault, not mine. Ha um Saban does a lot of a**hole things, but that's not one of them. He ALWAYS gives the opposing team that beats us a lot of praise in the post game presser. Had a ton of good things to say about Auburn last year. I'm gonna have to agree. Saban is an a**hole to a lot of people. But I don't usually hear him make a lot of excuses for losses. I've even seen him get mildly upset when a reporter suggests some excuse (like not being up for a bowl game) saying that it's on him and the players to focus on this ballgame and to be mentally tough and make plays. didn't he blame the fans at least once.

FHeal 4 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 They had earned my respect until he said that. ^^^ this ^^^ If you can look across the field and be able to read the opposing team's signals, you are doing your job. ^^Pretty much my feeling.While this might make a good excuse for a losing coach, I've never understood why some people react as if this is an "evil" or borderline dishonest thing to do. Unless you've somehow bugged their locker room or paid someone to steal a play book, it's just part of the game. I'd love to have a coach who could decode the opposition's signals on the fly every game. Hell, we flash our signals on a great big display board--if the opposing coach can figure them out, good for him! Just gotta figure out what "Batman, Smurf, Actor, Flash" means..... because by rule: f. Any attempt to record, either through audio or video means, any signals given by an opposing player, coach or other team personnel is prohibited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarEagle1983 2,185 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Are our coaches should apply to work for the FBI if they are that good. Actually they are already working with the NSA. Snowden may out them any day now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2kid 216 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Really but nothing on ESPN regarding referee crew from their conference and blatant no calls for KS holding and blocks in the back? I was listening to AU announcers during the game and they were very vocal on this. ESPN announcers never commented Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnthePlains 2,014 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I have to admit some disappointment with Snyder, always seemed like a class guy but along with the stealing signs comment came one when asked "did Auburn win or KSU lose? Snyder said definitely the latter". Sour grapes or butthurt I guess but Auburn left just as many opportunities out there and defintitely didnt play their best. http://sports.usatoday.com/2014/09/19/a-wise-decision-could-be-doubly-rewarding-for-auburn/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie 124 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 So, if we had their play calls in the first half, what is their excuse for the second half? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexava 6,973 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I too would like to hear his excuse for the 2nd half and why he thinks au had signals. Makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigermike 3,008 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 If the KSU coaches thought AU had their signals in the first half and changed them at the half, the loss goes on them. Because they were doing a lot better offensively in the first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gctiger 924 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I'd love to hear his excuse for poor execution in the second half. Poor coaching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike4AU 1,739 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 The translation of Snyder's accusation is that he and his coaches are not smart enough to keep from tipping off AU on their plays. He has carefully crafted the granddad image, but if you study his past you will see that he is a very different person. For example, when scheduling top 25 teams he would absolutely refuse to play them anywhere but at his place. The game at AU several years ago came about after he retired the first time. His behavior after the game should let folks know what lies underneath his facade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PigskinPat 2,568 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 This may have already been addressed and I apologize if it has but this is my question: has Coach Snyder said what made them realize that we were "stealing" their signals. For him to make such a bold accusation shouldn't there be some defining moment in the game that made them realize this was happening? So what was that moment?

FHeal 4 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Actually the way Kansas St honed into Auburn's read/option and running game you might think they were the one's reading signal calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For him to make such a bold accusation shouldn't there be some defining moment in the game that made them realize this was happening? So what was that moment? I believe it's usually when they can hear the opposing defense making hyper-accurate calls at the line and it happens "often". But in HIS case, I think it's just when he figured out that the plays he was calling didn't work. Like many on this board, I'm very surprised and disappointed in him.

And Gus doesn't strike me as one to accuse another team of stealing signals. Might explain all the audibles from the sidelines we were calling toward the end.

AUloggerhead 2,225 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 If you can look across the field and be able to read the opposing team's signals, you are doing your job. ^^Pretty much my feeling.While this might make a good excuse for a losing coach, I've never understood why some people react as if this is an "evil" or borderline dishonest thing to do.

I tend to agree. Although they are amusing some times. I like to think each character represents a player. Last year...Juggernaut=Prosch. No way it could be anyone else.
