You are right I don't know very much, but I saw many times a tap on the butt and morris on his. Perhaps you would be good enough to enlighten me. Thanks in advance.

All this
it makes you look incompetent when you can't make something work, when other teams are successful doing it, it makes them look like they are dictating the action
I think most fans hate it because the old guard Canes hate it. Randall Hill, Gino Toretta, and Bernie Kosar have come out MANY times and said they cannot stand it and think its bush league for an OC to not trust their QB to make the calls at the line.
Im 50/50. At this point, we are not yet at the stage where we can nitpick the offense. Once we start kicking peoples a$$e$ again, then we can complain and make judgements. Until then, do whatever works.
BUT with people saying Kaaya is this genuis and all, I expect that by his 3rd year, Coley should allow him to make his own calls at the line and scrap the sideline stuff. JMO.

The game's evolved. Mike Leach, Art Briles, Gus Malzahn, and several other guys who know a thing or two about offense utilize it. Nothing to do with not trusting your quarterback... it's not just about checking out of a bad play to an alternative, it's about getting an optimal play with what the defense gives. I don't understand why people have an issue with it... I'd much rather our 6-figure-paid offensive coordinator and assistants who watch film for hours on end get a birds eye view of what's happening and check into a play that's perfect for what they're seeing vs. an 18 year old kid who just realizes that the called play won't work so he needs to option into 1 or 2 plays that he can call ad hoc.

Here's a pretty good article on this from the coach at one of Oklahoma's best high school programs (Broken Arrow is no joke, btw.... solid football in Tulsa region).

Or the LB's turned around talking to the DBs when the ball is snapped?

it works for many teams at the college level. you remember scam newton wasn't looking to the sidelines to that poster with random images on it to get the call? sometimes simplifying an offense or defense and just making sure your players execute to the best of their abilities is more effective them getting too technical with play calling. some of the most prolific offenses in the country don't actually run many different plays. they just execute.

They are offensive geniuses... Coley is not. Stop trying to over-complicate stuff. If we ever hire a genius OC then by all means, do whatever gives us an advantage. As it is, call the play & execute it.

It goes both ways. We've basically eliminated the quick snap for opposing D's. We all know that ball isn't getting snapped when we get up on the line of scrimmage quickly. The few times we actually did were even more obvious.
Looking to the sideline doesn't make a difference at all. It's what the coach prefers. FSU does it too and they just won the NC. Jameis looks over in his squinted rape eyes to get the call.
Patting the center on the butt is for when the O-line cannot hear the QB bc the crowd is too loud so the guard or QB taps to signal when to snap. Ohio State had Braxton Miller hand clap for the snap which to me is a lot worse bc everyone including the. Lbs, corners and safety's can see that.

I'm more concerned about the D line being set when then O snaps. Our D looked to the sidelines way too much the past 2 years and a lot of the time were not ready or in position when the ball was snapped. Coach D needs to get his **** together and a call in right away.

Actually...
Looking to the sidelines and getting the proper play call is less complicated than allowing an 18 year old to make the call from the line-of-scrimmage.
