Ohio Taint v Clemson regarding Clemson's sign stealing

[Shogungts]

Sign stealing is part of the game.

But if Clemson is using their army of GA’s and analysts throughout venues, in the stands and in boxes, to steal sideline info/signs, and transmitting those electronically, I’m not sure that’s kosher or within the rules.

Agree if it is at this level, but what I had read was that the coaches/assistants on the sideline/in the coaching box were just really good at picking it up from focusing and practicing it. If they have people in the stands, using technology, etc - then yes, that is not cool.

Oh I think they’re good at doing the legal part of it, but it wouldn’t be surprise me if they were doing all kinds of other shady shlt too.

We talking about sign stealing ? This is as common as the wind blowing. Every sports team does it or tries to do it.

The game moves to fast to steal a sign, translate to the coach on the sideline and then get it 11 guys on the field.

I would say it would work maybe 2-3 times a game.

I know it was HS ball but we had our signs stolen all the time. But we tempo’ed so fast that by the team it go to the players, we were running the next play.

Eagles in the one Super Bowl. Every time we ran a screen they knew it.

And on the opposite end, remember that one series where the cheatriots ran about 3 screens in a row on Philly, ran a regular play than came right back to another screen, this was me watching that game, 1st screen: damyum get that ****, 2nd screen: damyum, ok, that was smart, caught them ****'s off guard running em back to back, 3rd screen: WTF, 4th screen: these ****'s cheating!

When teams used to have Huddles none of this was a problem

I should have linked better stuff, but there were some articles that allege just that. They have a small army of GA's on the sideline and around the stadium. Kinda like the Astros did some clever legal stuff, and also couldn't help themselves and went way beyond.

They request a lot of extra passes every game.

How Clemson Mastered the (Totally Legal) Art of Signal Stealing

Dabo Swinney has built a juggernaut, but his program's secret sauce is not so secret inside college football.

I don’t care if they steal signs
What bothers me is why isn’t baker stealing signs

Baker doesn’t even know what he’s calling

It is best way to combat and disrupt the no huddle go fast offense.

If the NCAA counted support staff as coaches, we would see the playing field leveled REAL quick.

Then he must be stealing the wrong signs
That would explain a lot though
He steals the dummy signs
