Saban's comments on this 20 headset thing made me chuckle.

Nick Saban on new NCAA rule on limiting staff to 20 headsets: “I don’t know who is driving all this stuff, but to me it’s kind of like mouse manure when you’re up to your ears in elephant doo doo." 

There's just something about a 67 year old man saying the word "doo doo".

Is it possible to cry sad tears while laughing?

Getting rusty, I guess.

Looked like a Jello commercial to me.

Article says 20 headsets will be allowed for 15 coaches & 4 players. Who can have the last headset?

 

One of bama's off-field consultants.

I believe they said on 'The Drive' the other day that the other is for referee to confirm they are not using the headsets improperly.

I know a person that was an "equipment manager" while in school who wore a headset. He was one of a few that signaled plays to the players (there were roles of each...some real, some decoy).  Its that kind of thing that will be restricted.

Now coaches will have to do that (a distraction from watching and coaching their players) or players will have to do it (one more thing to distract them in the limited time coaches have with them). 

Kinda like having the pilots also serve food and drinks...possible...but is a distraction from what may be more important.

Oh, and woe be to the one that screws up a signal...causing a burned timeout or worse...a busted play.

Cool!

Distract the ref.

All I know is the staff better start working on this the minute CGM gets back home - there will be a learning curve at the very core of operations.  The last thing I want to see is poor communication in the opener vs Washington, a burned time out or delay of game penalty.

 

I will be pissed if this gets brought up as an excuse at any time this season.

Any staff above the 20 number should simply employ a group FaceTime session. It might be more effective anyway.

I coach high school ball and we think having 9 headsets in our system is huge.  ???

Did you give one to the ball boy though ?!

Ha, ha!  Not that I know of.  Maybe that’s why the ball boy is always sprinting down the sideline.  He hears Gus yelling “Touchdown!!!”

It is...

 

We fight over 8 and two are usually passed between a couple coaches. ??

20 headsets is plenty.   

When was the last time you coached football for an SEC team? Dont act like an expert on something you know little about.

Does the rule prohibit swapping headsets between posessions?
