Evidently Mike Leach isn’t the only Pac-12 coach having issues with Todd Graham’s sportsmanship.
Oregon coach Mark Helfrich wouldn’t specify what tactics the Ducks would use to keep the Arizona State Sun Devils from stealing signs on Saturday.
Last year the Ducks brought large white sheets to Arizona State and lined their sideline with them, hoping to obscure the view of the Sun Devils’ play signalers. Helfrich wouldn’t say if Oregon would be using those again this weekend.
“We’ll hopefully have something as effective this year,” he said.
Maybe they’ll fine the sheets.

Todd Graham has always been a Petrino class jerk.

Well – he basically pulled a Petrino the way he left Pitt.

The question has been asked before, but, how does the stolen signal get relayed from the coaches upstairs down to the field in time to make a difference?

I’ve always wondered that too, but somehow it does. Google Ernie Adams who works for the Patriots.

Just read Boston Globe story on him.

@Q Crap, why not just shoot the other teams players. No wonder the other teams do not care for the Patriot’s organization.

They speak on the radio. Light is pretty fast.

While I wouldn’t include electronic eavesdropping (audio or video) in this, I feel stealing the signals a part of the games of football and baseball. Either teach your guys to think on their own while playing, or be clever with the way you communicate. Don’t really get the big deal with this, but agree Grantham is unpleasant and The Pirate is eccentric (but interesting).

Just remember, we have it on good authority that he’s not as bad as Corch or Harbaugh. Not even in the same league, I think it was.
A lot of football coaches are huge assholes.

Makes me wonder if Towel Boy now qualifies as a graduate transfer.
No stone unturned.

Now I’m wondering if Grantham wasn’t a little ahead of the curve with towel boy. And yes, I know coaches have been doing similar things for a long time.

They are using giant sheets/placards of some sort now in some places. Towels are a thing of the past.

Bah…I see no issues, if the other team figures out what you are doing, so be it…they still have to stop it.

I read this and think what would Leach say if he to deal with B-M, McG, or Adams? Bluto would make a fortune off our clicks.
