OT: Alabama assistants offer rare look inside 'military-ish' world of Nick Saban headset chatter

[Whitey23]

Found this very interesting. Would have been interesting to hear Syracuse's chatter 2 years ago under McDonald as some have alluded to mistakes being made.

“You’re not watching the game. You’re assessing. You’re calling and making adjustments and it requires a tremendous amount of eye discipline.”

“Everybody is accountable to be able to give a full and detailed assessment of each and every play, and you better be ready to answer that. Don’t let a play go wrong and not have an answer for it. It starts at the top with Coach Saban. He holds us accountable. We hold each other accountable.”

“It’s way different from anything I’ve ever experienced. You grow a lot as a coach. You can’t imagine the detail we get into.”

Well, the devil is in the details after all.

Clemson has to protect their signs as well because we know Auburn stole them from FSU in the first half and wouldn't doubt that Bama will not be doing the same.

Saban is a Belichick disciple. I would check to see if the mics and locker room are bugged too.

How could they tell from the way Arkansas' linebacker lined up that he would get burned?

He kept stepping up and staring in the backfield instead of watching the slot WR.

Is that cheating or is it gamesmanship?

I think it depends. If you have guys trying to figure it out during a game or from watching game tape then so be it. If you have guys disguised as press secretly recording practice then I think your legacy is one of a Bellicheat.

Like the Cougar and Maverick conversation in the opening scene of Top Gun.

I consider it cheating and destroys the gamesmanship of what sports are suppose to be at that level but money has turned it into even more of a beast that is running out of control.
