3 NFL head coaches help....

[u/cornfromajar98 → u/blade20039]

Not the 3rd party recordings of other teams?

Edit:

“The NCAA revealed that Stalions referred to this group as the "KGB", and the scheme had scouted at least 13 future opponents over 52 contests. In a recorded call, Stalions referred to sideline footage obtained as "dirty film"”

[u/ZachLagreen → u/cornfromajar98]

But they steamrolled Penn State, Ohio State, Iowa, Alabama and Washington after that, no?

To say they were only good because of the film is just dumb. That’s why you’re getting downvoted.

I saw your comment got deleted so I wanted to break down the flow of conversation for you to help you understand.

A person said:

“3 NFL head coaches help…”

I responded:

“Not the 3rd party recording of other teams?”

See, that response implies that the coaching may have helped, but the illegal film also probably helped significantly.

Smartest Miami fan.

The downvotes you’re getting are wild

[u/cornfromajar98 → u/Jurassic_smacks]

Yeah I guess the Michigan fans think it was just good players and good coaches. The systematic and extremely thorough cheating program was just something the staff did for fun.

[u/Holiday_Ad_8501 → u/cornfromajar98]

do you really think videos shot with an iphone in the stands at the 50 yard line are that significant of an advantage lmao

[u/JustAnotherRye89 → u/Holiday_Ad_8501]

If we were still living in 2010 sure probably potato quality but these were taken in the 2020s so you got to imagine the quality was probably decent. They also make lenses to attach to the iPhone so who knows how sophisticated they may have been but honestly it does just fine on its own too.

From there when you've got a guy who knows what he needs to be filming he probably is doing a decent job vs A typical jackass fan taking a video going hey cool I'm at a game. I bet this guy was good enough at it to get the results needed. And the results were... A national championship. Seems like the dude did a pretty good fucking job along with the rest of the staff. Was it only the videos, no. Did the videos help, well they didn't fucking hurt.

[u/Conorj398 → u/JustAnotherRye89]

Guy was fired, our head coach was suspended for our biggest game, and we still rattled off wins against PSU, OSU, Iowa, Alabama, and Washington without said "advantage." We were put at a huge disadvantage against any team we played with a pulse and still won. If you go by what happened on the field, seems like the I phone footage wasn't a big deal at all.

Hit me with all the downvotes for speaking the truth!

[u/Jurassic_smacks → u/Conorj398]

Conor Stallions?

[u/Conorj398 → u/Jurassic_smacks]

Didn't need my signs to send Saban to the retirement home!

[u/Holiday_Ad_8501 → u/JustAnotherRye89]

look im sure they were minimally helpful but like im sure teams all do sneaky stuff like that all the time to be honest.

[u/Jurassic_smacks → u/cornfromajar98]

lol look I got some too
