Kentucky football has not apparently had a problem with opposing teams stealing signs/play calls during games but coach Mark Stoops knows it could happen. That’s why he would be in favor of allowing radio communication in helmets to avoid signaling in play calls.
The NFL allows quarterbacks to have radio contact with coaches to get play calls and many would like to see that in college along with maybe one defensive player having the same capability.
“I’d be all for it. I’m not sure the reason why we don’t have it to this point,” Stoops said. “I know we’ve talked about it in the SEC meetings for several years, I think.
“I don’t want to speak for everybody, but if I’m not mistaken, it pretty much was unanimous that we all were in favor of that. I’d like to see it happen, so hopefully we could work towards that.”
Kentucky offensive coordinator Liam Coen says the staff actually watches what signs might have been shown on TV during a game that might need to be changed or altered when staff members signal players from the sideline to quarterback Devin Leary.
