Saban isn’t breaking any rules, so more power to him I suppose (particularly considering what tactics Michigan has used to gain a competitive advantage).
Eh. It’s so overrated. It’s like not talking about injuries and closing practices. It’s minimal at best. Whitt hid that half our defense was injured vs Arizona. They still kicked our asses.
Belichek tried to hide injuries. When he had Brady, he won a lot. Since he lost Brady, he has lost a lot.
These sort of games…great headlines. Minimal real world effects.
Yet coaches at the highest levels of College football do them. Even Whitt likes to do this whole gamesmanship crap as you said. Feels like the effort out weighs the minor benefit but here we are.
