Stealing Signals

[oracleturts]

It was mentioned in another thread that Clemson knew our plays and that they were stealing signals. Do we change the signals to plays regularly?

Is this a thing?

Saban comes from the Belichick coaching tree where the if you're not cheating you're not trying mentality exists

Absolutely a thing.

In the 2013 National Championship game, Dameyune Craig was at Auburn after coaching at FSU with Jimbo the 3 previous seasons. He was stealing FSU's signals and relaying to the defense for the entire first half until FSU realized it and changed things up.

To be fair Clemson knew our offensive plays , but we knew their defensive calls after the first play. It was double a gap blitzes.:….every snap.

That's almost on the same level of stupid that the Raiders didn't change anything up when going against Gruden in the Superbowl

They did change, but Craig figured it out after a series or two based off previous tendencies. There’s only so much you can do with pure hand signals. It’s the reason that a lot of teams go with numbers/wristbands and you switch them up multiple times during games.

If Bama does, hopefully Manny is smart enough to use this to our advantage.

Clemson steals everyone’s signals

It's only cheating, if you get caught.
