Harbaugh is a crooked, cheating, morally void coach.  His day will come

if it worked for the Patriots, why shouldn't coaches mimic it.  It isn't like Harbaugh is the only one.   He just is the only one caught.  I personally equate it to paying players back in the day.  Occasionally a team would get busted.  It was widespread.  I suspect tons of teams are doing variations of this. 

There is some clip of an old Denver player talking about Josh McD.  They brought it to Denver.  Then McDaniel's guy got busted.   But he said before that happened, the coaches could tell them exactly what was going to go down on a given play.

Not a lot of good games this week. It appears my Gators have a second bye week in a row. I’ll guess I’ll watch some other games!

Yeah, this seems to be a down week with Oregon vs Utah at 3:30 on Fox likely the best game of the weekend. Duke vs Louisville at 3:30 on ESPN might also be worth checking out though.

You know how the NFL does the joint practices but it doesn’t count against your record? Pretty sure that’s all this is this week!

The game is in the swamp so maybe they can keep it close and stay in it.  I will watch this one

Yeah, in terms of competitive matchups between good teams those look to be the best bets of the day.

If you coach big time college football / NFL and aren't changing your signaling week to week, you're an idiot and deserve to lose. 

Reminds me of the 2015 NFC Championship game when the Panthers used the exact same terminology and audibles from the Divisional Round and Seattle knew every play that was coming.  Speaking of idiots and losers, John Fox at his finest.  

In related news, Fuuuccckkk Mack Brown.  Go Heels.

I cannot comprehend this type of thoughts process at all. Look at where this program was. Fedora had us in the gutter. Look where we are now.

I'll never claim that Brown is a good Xs and Os guys or a good game day coach. He isn't. But he's a recruiter and a program builder and that's what we desperately needed. He has done what he was hired to do which was get this program back on track. The real trick is nailing the long-term replacement hire. Because everyone knew that Mack Brown was a short term fix.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
