Saban & Bielema behind the kill uptempo offense rule

[RegentDenali]

Figures. Player safety my ass. The truth is obvious why they want this implemented.

NEW YORK -- Alabama coach Nick Saban and Arkansas coach Bret Bielema voiced their concerns about the effects of up-tempo, no-huddle offenses on player safety to the NCAA committee that passed a proposal to slow down those attacks.

Neither Saban nor Bielema were on the committee and they did not vote on the proposal passed Wednesday to allow defenses time to substitute between plays by prohibiting offenses from snapping the ball until 29 seconds are left on the 40-second play clock.

CAA coordinator of officials Rogers Redding said Thursday that Bielema was at the meeting in Indianapolis as a representative of the American Football Coaches Association.

"Coach Saban asked for the opportunity to meet with the committee and talk about this," Redding said. "It's not routine, but it's not unique, either."

Bielema and Saban run methodical offenses and have publicly questioned if the quickening pace of offenses is good for the game.
FBS coaches on the panel are Air Force's Troy Calhoun, who is the chairman, and Louisiana-Lafayette's Todd Berry. Their teams ranked 104th and 93rd, respectively, last season in plays per game in FBS.

The proposal must be approved by the playing rules oversight panel, which meets March 6. Redding said it's not a rubber stamp panel, but more often than not it approves proposals. The panel does not consider competitive issues, Redding said.

So long positive legacies. Forever remembered as pussies now.

What they really wanted though was to allow the defense to have 15 players on the field, you know to make it more even for the weak defenses they have against the hurry up.

Mike Leach tells it like it is. Pirate Capt fires a broadside right at the Saban garbage barge.


Washington State head coach Mike Leach went off on the proposed rule during a radio interview on WJOX in Birmingham, Alabama, and it was certainly entertaining to listen to.

"It's one of the most mind-numbingly dumb suggestions that I've ever heard and what makes this one even more reprehensible is the fact that it is so transparently self-serving," Leach said. And he was just warming up.

"It's a reaction to the success of Auburn and Texas A&M, clearly, so rather than innovate defensively and respond defensively... and rather than adapt our teams it's like we're gonna invent a rule," Leach said. "But in order to invent a rule you have to have a reason to invent a rule, so then they're going to try and hide behind player safety in order to do it."

Leach went on to proposes three rules he felt would enhance player safety, obviously mocking the defense of player safety as a priority focus for the proposed rule. They were:

1. Don't allow defenses to blitz

2. A defense is never allowed to bring more players than an offense has to block

3. You are not allowed to hit the quarterback.

At one point during the end of the interview Leach said this defensive substitution rule proposed would rival the halo rule for absurdity, if it happens to pass. Leach doubts it will pass, and that seems to be a common feeling by coaches, media and fans. The support for this rule just does not appear to be coming from many places outside of Tuscaloosa.

Saban wants to be able to rotate in fresh DL's for every play to wear down the opponent's offense. But god forbid if the opponent wants to run a hurry up to wear down his defense. Simple as that.

Man, malzahn and sumlin got saban all jacked up in the brain.


SEC play style is changing, and saban sees his future dimming quickly. Now we will likely get, what will forever be known as, the saban rule.

props to Leach.

I'm sure Saban has lots of empirical data and studies to back up this player safety claim

If not I'm sure it's easy enough to make up some data...

St. Saban. Always looking out of the safety of his players.

Sabans data consists of 24-29 and 28-34.

The world needs more men like Mike Leach. Blunt, honest and doesn't give a fuck who he pisses off telling it. like it is. That's real courage. Love his no blitzing rule. Pretty much shuts Saban the fuck up here.

 

[RobBase]

And didn't Bama just hire Lane "No huddle offense" Kiffin too? Man, what a black eye on the history books of Alabama. Dark day fans.

 

[cane_man]

45-31...

Oh yeah. The evil empire of quick offenses: the big12. Future saban rules....
1. NO MORE FUCKING TEAMS FROM THE BIG 12!!!!

2. Scrap sugar bowl tie in with big 12

3. No more coaches can be hired from big 12.

4. Only saban allowed 13 players on defense, 15 if playing a team from the big 12

 

[jonvi]

How many thread with the name Sabin and no Bama fans?

Bama fans not chiming in tells you a bunch. You have to love Bama fans. They won't say a bad word one about Sabin. They know this is a f'd up rule.
