Georgia Head Coach is Leary of Saban and What Spy Tactics He Learned Under Belichick.
Posted by Thomas the Terrible on September 19, 2007
My best friend and Georgia fan John will most likely kill me for this.
Leader of the Third Rich, Mark Richt, is worried about the spy tactics that might be employed by Nick Satan Saban, and who can blame him? After all Saban did coach under Bill Belichick, master NFL spy.
“Georgia’s Mark Richt has closed practice to the media for the first time in his seven years as a head coach as the No. 22 Bulldogs prepare for Saturday’s game at No. 16 Alabama.
Claude Felton, Georgia’s senior associate athletics director for external affairs, said Richt closed the practices because the coach “wanted to have a week of practice with no distractions and for his players to be able to focus on the field and their practice responsibilities.”
“It’s the Belichick rule,” the Georgia official said. “We’ve been skunked in the past. We know it because of the way some teams have reacted to our [offensive] plays in a few games. We’re trying to make sure it doesn’t happen again.”
The Belichick rule, that’s gold, however I wouldn’t blame spying in every instance concerning the offense. The best friend I mentioned at the beginning of the post says you’re to predictable at times, and you are. He also likes midget porn and says Barry Steroid Bonds is clean, so I know he doesn’t always know what he’s talking about. I mean everyone knows Bonds is clean, but the midget porn…it’s doesn’t rock my world.
“Alabama coach Nick Saban, in his first season coaching the Crimson Tide, worked four seasons as Belichick’s defensive coordinator with the Cleveland Browns from 1991-94.
Ironically, Saban’s team was accused of stealing the Patriots’ signals last season when he was coach of the Miami Dolphins, but the NFL found no evidence of wrongdoing.
“We were never accused of that, that I’m aware of, and we never did it,” Saban said Monday, during his weekly news conference in Tuscaloosa, Ala. “We didn’t have a video camera or tapes. We never got anybody’s signals. We had someone watching their signals, but we were never smart enough [to do it].”
Considering your coaching record in the NFL, I’m inclined to believe that. Wow, the power of Saban must be infecting my mind, let me rephrase. Nick, for once I agree with you, but you’re still Satan and an asshole. There that’s better. Oddly though in another article about the same topic Furor Richt was quoting as saying:
“Things have changed in the last few years. It’s not like it used to be. It’s so easy for information to travel so fast,” Richt said. “Maybe if we had an indoor facility where no one was walking around or looking in the window, we would all feel better. The reality is: What we do is big. People care. Winning and losing has a profound effect on people’s careers.”
Oh God there he goes whining about not having an indoor facility again. I’m sure Georgia fans remember Furor Richt whining sometime last August about wanting better facilities but then pulled a Saban on his comments. Notice how he slipped that one in there, it was almost subliminal.
“If it were up to me and I could get away with it, I would just as soon close it down (permanently),” Richt said. “There’s not much that decides between winning and losing. A lot of times, it’s one play. If the other team gets a one-play advantage, it could cost you.”
I bet an indoor practice field, like the one Tennessee has would help huh?
“I hear people say in the business world sometimes, ‘We’re always trying to create a winning edge,”‘ Saban said. “In sports, we’d all like to try to do that. But we all have to be careful that we always do that with full respect for the rules.”
says the man who was taught by the master spy Bill Belichick, then excused by him last year. Oh yeah he’s still an asshole.
Richt said he’s more concerned about information getting out over the Internet than he is about another school sending someone to Athens on a spying mission. It might be something as innocuous as a student assistant telling a friend about a particular play. The next thing you know, the friend has posted the info on a MySpace page.
And don’t forget the countless fan blogs that have popped up in recent years.
“When you’re out there practicing, doing whatever it is you’re doing, it wouldn’t take a veteran coach to understand what’s happening,” Richt said. “You wonder who might see it and who say something about it. It might even be your own people.”
I hate Myspace, and fan blogs suck, except mine. OK, mine sucks to. The point is you are sounding a little paranoid, and you know who else was paranoid don’t you? That’s right Hitler! There I made my point. However come this Saturday night I will be pulling for the Third Richt Georgia Bulldogs. I hope they beat the hell out of Alabama.
Go Dawgs!!!!
So I profess on this day 9/19/07.
