I share the frustration with treatment of Stoops' comments vs. the blasting Saban got for saying exactly the same thing.
That said, the primary goal for all of us is to (1) get the current rule enforced...which it isn't, and (2) hopefully get it changed, acknowledging that changing a rule of this magnitude is a drawn-out process.
Having another coach publicly advocating for this, especially one of Stoops' stature can only help to achieve that goal.
Sometimes help comes from unexpected places.
