My like button doesn't work???? I agree that Gus and some other well-known coaches bend and break rules to achieve an unfair advantage in games then wine like children when called on it.And now we have THIS from Gus - "I'm not into anything that takes the creativity out of the game. You know, you see a lot of coaches around the country, specifically high school coaches that are coaching in college, that's very important to them."
It's crystal clear to me that gus' definition of creativity is deception without regard to the rules of the game. As others have pointed out, he just rolls with the risk/reward gamble and teaches this crap hoping/knowing that it will not be flagged the majority of the time. He, and those that think like him, believe gadget and deception are a substitute for fundamentals and disciplined play. The good news is that he is wrong. It is not going to work long term and is no better than putting air in a flat tire and thinking it is fixed.
Not that I needed anymore reasons to dislike auburn, but this to me is "prostituting" the game and I despise it.

I agree totally with this. As they say "zero tolerance". I read somewhere that the NFL is considering adopting the college rule on pass interference.I say, do away with the interpretive 3 yards down field rule & just stick with the line of scrimmage (unless the pass is completed behind the LOS). Seems that works fine for the NFL teams & officials......pretty straight-forward. I really don't see how this is too difficult...?

For the second straight year, a controversial proposed football rules change has been tabled.
The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel (PROP) has tabled a rule that would have adjusted the ineligible receiver downfield rule from 3 yards to 1 yard. The proposal from the NCAA Football Rules Committee was met with some public backlash by high-profile coaches who expressed concern that the creativity of football was being attacked again.
In a news release, the NCAA said PROP felt more discussion about the rule should occur before a final decision is made. The rule will remain 3 yards for the 2015 season.
So, defensive coaches aren't allowed to be creative?And now we have THIS from Gus - "I'm not into anything that takes the creativity out of the game. You know, you see a lot of coaches around the country, specifically high school coaches that are coaching in college, that's very important to them."

Some of these coaches won't be happy until we're playing Canadian rules football.The whiners get their way again. Will anything EVER be done about this blatant cheating???
Not sure I get what you are saying. Please explain. ThxSo, defensive coaches aren't allowed to be creative?
In essence, that's what he is saying. When rules change to allow greater offensive freedom, that's creativity being allowed to flourish. Turn the tables and we are stifling innovation.
I think he's saying Gus thinks creativity should occur only on the offensive side of the ball...Not sure I get what you are saying. Please explain. Thx
Oh, I'm quite sure he wasn't...Redding, the NCAA officials overseer said, before it got tabled, that there had been offensive coaches who'd approached him about it, because they thought the offense had been given too much advantage over defenses. Somehow, I don't think Gus was among them...
So far as I know, there's no way to appeal a rule change, other than bringing it back up to the voting body (coaches, presidents, etc.) the next year. This has happened a couple of times when a rule didn't work out. I believe it or a similar rule will be adopted next year. The rule, as drawn currently, cannot be enforced. The pros know that...Oh, I'm quite sure he wasn't...
btw TIDE-HSV,..there's no way he could appeal this is there? I don't think so..
I'd love to see a few plays where the entire OL fires off the ball like an off-tackle run with a quick dump across the middle after the LBs hesitate or a quick slant. Get the ball out quickly enough and it would probably work, just take timing.Since the NCAA is not doing this till next year, I would like to see Coach put a play or two like this in the spring game so he can coach up the officials on the correct way to call the foul when the regular season rolls around. Of course if Bama uses this play next year then they will make the change quickly.
