🏈 Reading CNS lips... question

[Bamabacker]

CNS is quite animated most of the time and a lot of his camera shots make it easy to read his lips. Nearing the end of half of the Vandy game. He was very upset about the clock mgmt. He was yelling in his head set "just do your f***ing job" to someone. Who would that been? McElwain?

I think there were a few non-called plays where McElwain was hesitating too much and CNS was in no mood especially after that half of football which was lackluster on both offense and defense.

am i just paranoid, or does it seem like they always go out of their way to catch him mouthing something foul, and will include it in the replay etc... last weekend it was "GD"

naw i can catch bout every coach doing it in almost every game.

I think all of them do it, just some hide it better than others. Remember Brian Kelly's meltdown earlier this season? If you notice, he will put his lamenated game plan and put it over his mouth a lot while talking to his players and his coaches on the headset.

One doesn't have to go on a bug hunt to catch a football coach cursing. I've been called an effing-a-hole (or worse) on more than one occasion by several football coaches. During games. Both varsity coaches I played for own multiple state championships.

The folks who work with Saban understand and know that is just part of it... he is going to yell and cuss at them, and he takes his displeasure out on some more than others... but they all catch it. And if they stick around for over a year, it obviously means that it doesn't bother them all that much in the grand scheme of things. They know it isn't personal...

It's all in the heat of battle! I was in the pressbox for 13 years at the high school level and I got my share as well as those intended for the defense (coach forgot to flip over to defense before ranting). It happens everywhere. I was responsible for fronts and coverages. Our head coach called the plays while I made suggestions. If we got a delay penalty, it was my fault even though he was the play caller. You have to be thick skinned and let it roll off your back.
