Longtime Alabama coach Nick Saban suggested that if quarterbacks were able to communicate with the sideline, it would help prevent sign-stealing in college football.
Longtime Alabama coach Nick Saban offered a potential solution to college football's sign-stealing problem — in-helmet communication devices. In the NFL, a speaker is placed inside the quarterback's helmet which allows the player to receive the play call from the coach. One player on the defensive side of the football also hears the play call from the sideline. This type of communication is currently not allowed at the college football level.
Saban was working as an assistant coach in the NFL when the league began using headset communication. Last week, Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel announced that Connor Stalions, a member of the football staff, was suspended with pay. Stalions is accused of purchasing tickets for several games of future opponents to allegedly engage in in-person scouting. The NCAA rule book does not have rules that specially prohibit stealing signs.
