Netflix Connor Stalions Documentary Is WILD, Lays Out "Sign Stealer" Controversy | Pat McAfee Reacts

documentary was released uh via Netflix Untold it was Conor stallion's uh story it was quite a buzz around the internet this morning it's an hour and 27 minutes long so we didn't get a chance to watch the entire thing as we're piecing together this morning shows but Clips were coming out and I think the reaction that I've seen thus far and correct me if I'm wrong is if you were a Harbaugh's a piece of [ __ ] he definitely knew type of person before this documentary it solidified it seemingly this is the reaction that we're reading on the internet and if you think Harbaugh did not know and Conor stallions was a rogue agent you feel that way even more after watching it for sure I will say as somebody who has listened to Har Baugh speak about this entire process and watch how he reacted to this entire process and how he's continued to maintain his innocence about not knowing what was taking place and how it was taking place I don't think Harbaugh knew I have not watched the hour in 27 I will do that this evening so I might come in tomorrow with a different story but from the clips that I have seen this Connor stallions guy was committed Michigan War one word I mean what are you saying I mean he was committed but he some other psychopath obsess yeah yeah I mean but hey that's what the greatest are right that's what it takes Tom MJ tiger we allion you got to be obsessed with your craft which Connor stallion certainly was there's one particular clip that I think kind of showcases why Conor stallion's name was mentioned brought up and became a massive story and it took place while he was getting interviewed by the NCAA I believe with his uh lawyers sitting right next to him it's a longer scene but here's the part that basically says yes I did what everybody kind of was saying that I did Connor did you ever direct anyone or instruct anyone to attend a college football game in which Michigan was not playing no I I don't ever recall directing someone to go to a game have you ever purchased tickets for someone to attend a college football game in which Michigan was not playing yeah I've I've purchased tickets to many games college football obviously Michigan's playing so I don't have time to go to another game but I either resell them or if a friend ask for a ticket then I transfer it to them or her okay and would any of those tickets that you purchased that you would then transfer to a friend or a family member did any of the individuals who you purchased a ticket for attend a game that Michigan was not competing in Che and film or record the opponent's signal callers so to my understanding there are some people who attended games using tickets that I purchased and recorded parts of those games who are the individuals that recorded parts of the games that were sitting in seats that you purchased I I don't recall exactly who I've purchased tickets to a lot of games how do you know they were recording parts of of the game then cuz sometimes I would receive film from them I've had a friend send me film and it's it's kind of like when your aunt gets you a Christmas present that you already have you're not going to be rude and be like oh I already have this I don't need it you know just oh thanks appreciate it you know it feel like they're helping out or whatever when I already have the signals I already memorized the signals I mean what's so just say thanks whatever you know I mean all of it is very interesting he was very open in it all and obviously that uh recording was done from the research that the NCAA was gathering while they were doing what they were trying to do and figure out what the punishment's going to be and obviously we've heard and been told by The Authority that's probably going to be a massive financial litigation through it all but if you listen to him speak there you could tell he was trying to out lawyer the lawyers to my understanding and then he said yes they have semi film and yada yada yada and you would think to yourself well somebody was telling him to do this right it's like not necessarily here's another clip from this thing this guy was obsessed with being the greatest sign decipher of all time and you say why do you know or how do you know he's obsessed with it listen to what this [ __ ] guy would do I mean this guy wanted to be the greatest sign decipherer is what he would describe and I believe his obsession with that led him to the like I think he got trapped into the greatest of all listen to this clip and watch what he would actually do thousands of signs he said he would do this to the first thing that I evolved that made me good at deciphering signals was my game day sheet I took a couple weekends I found a white wall as the background and I wore dark clothes to contrast I propped my phone up and just recorded myself doing every possible signal I could ever [Music] imagine any signal I've ever seen any signal that we've done any signal any other team's done and any variation of any signal so I recorded myself doing probably 2 to 3,000 signals when I was done I uploaded each photo into my sheet where it belonged I developed my own database which is the next evolution of my game day sheet instead of memorizing words I was memorizing pictures and I would say that is the number one reason why I became as good as I did at deciphering signals you're talking about thousands of signals he would piece together on his game day board instead of you know play calls or words he would just put obviously the signs so then he's watching across the thing he knows exactly what it is he's quite a weapon all of a sudden for the Michigan Wolverines as somebody who was in military as opposed to Growing Up playing foot or in football and coaching in football and I think what you're hearing in the reaction from everybody is obviously this dude what this is this guy was really obsessed with this I mean he was committed to this more than anybody else on Earth but if let's listen to coach team Mitch here defensive coordinator for the Arkansas Razer backs and if you do recall he's the one the freestyled in front of the team and they all said yeah yeah coach in the middle of it had them all bought in here's what he had to say about s once again remember dog on the football field as a player now defense coordinator in college oh a lot like it's so funny you'll be shocked during the week I know offense all around the country they gonna look at they gonna get the TV copy they looking at the signals yeah just one person that's your only job look at the signals and then boom Oh we can't get we get the defensive signals okay well let's see what the defensive players are signaling then they then they'll try to get it that way you know so they got different ways I I remember we played um Louisville and um and he was really good and I saw the TV copy and I could just see the whole time he was just like this just watching watching watching halftime they got your signals I so we played him next year I was at UCF we played him that next year and I got his contact and I called him like Hey man I need to and he sent me the whole thing he said this what we had it was like 80% correct so we had to change our signals because they just pass it around so they just send it to the to the next so we play SMU and red Lashley them and they had the same signals I wouldn't mad that he sent it around I would have been mad if we didn't change it so it's it's huge like just signal and it's perfect legal I know teams right now they have two guys on the field cuz you usually have them in the box so you know at the times you see a lot of these teams behind the actual team they got these they P out these big curtains behind it if it wasn't important they wouldn't be doing it every a lot of 80% of the teams in America when they s they pull out the big curtain behind so the guys in the Press boot can't get them well they done smart enough they put them on the field so they got two guys and they just sit here and try to get it so you got to have ways of of high of hiding your signals you know so you can always know like when a play happen you go hey man they got our signals cuz it's is like the perfect play you just know um all over college football so that's not man nothing new it's not one of those deals where it's like unethical or something like that like they do it you just if you're crazy enough to keep the same signals that's on you that's Coach T will I call it t Mitch that's 100% on me but Coach T will basically breaking down I think what every former player had to say about the sign stealing I think why the Connor stallion thing happened is because the advanced scouting rule that was in place and I think if you were to watch this Untold entirely the he's saying that he exploited the rules like I wasn't at the game there was no coaches at the game it was other people were they family friends uh so I didn't know some of the people that were there but sign stealing has been happening since the beginning the conversation now from the coach to the quarterback and the ability to call into play to the Mike linebacker they're obviously still going to use signs but this entire thing of signal stealing is a weapon if you have a guy that's very good on it uh good at it on your team and Connor stallions might have been the guy who was considered the greatest of all time which leads me to saying that Harbaugh could literally not know that he was paying people or buying ticket in sending people going forward Harbaugh could have definitely thought to himself though I got a good sign stealer on my sideline because every team has been looking for those yeah since signs have been given in any sport seemingly yeah like like coach said like Coach T will said um you know you got to change them and at the same time we use I mean this is going to be quads like you know certain these are going to be seams like it's certain thing Brady had a signal he would go like this and that meant the outside receiver's going up the slot receiver is breaking out and he did it for 20 years so like you can have signals you got to execute like I think somebody always a tip when Tri Williams and it's a Runners when it's you got to execute so like we we would have I've never been on a team where we didn't have a guy who gave us signals who gave us offensive signals hey this this is what they get it from the TV copy they'll get it from across the field sometime you'll have three guys doing the signals and one guy is the real guy the other two are just smokees screen so it's always you know it's it's gamesmanship it's going on week in and week out if you're not cheating you're not trying but at the end of the day you got to we played pton Manning the first time he came back here obviously Reggie has spent a bunch of time with him and these quarterbacks you know Aaron pton Drew Tom all these guys they carry a lot of that same [ __ ] over and they're more concerned about their guys been on the same page having the signal so they're not going to out Trick themselves defense you can have all you want Reggie will tell us this that and the third but hey don't get too caught up on this [ __ ] because he'll go and change it and make sure you hear him call it and you like hey this is coming and then they'll have some other option uh perfectly drawn up so it's always been a part of the game it is literally people's job to do it usually it's a quality control guy or whoever um what are they call gr the grest G on the college level so it's always somebody but at the end of the day you got to execute you got to get it done between downs and more importantly you got to be on the same page with your guys that we're doing what we need to be doing in quads coverage or in cover two or in cover three whatever that is the the the way the story was rolled out was as if it was out of a novel in a movie and then we're listening to it it kind of it kind of is and I think at Conor stallion's head he was beating a rule for the scouting he wasn't I wasn't telling if they sent it to me they sent it to me if I saw it I saw it and then he'd be able to put together a signed board for who they're playing against I mean it's like all those things that it just it feels like they want too you want too far yeah you just went you went you just went too we're all trying to do it but what you you just went you know you took advantage and I think Conor St say is that my fault is that your fault who's saying where the line is is like what Conor stallion's question is because if the rule says that I can't go or that coach get go it doesn't say [ __ ] about somebody I made on the internet that I just got tickets for and if they want to happen to record some stuff and send it to me even though I didn't tell them that right asked the lawyer I didn't say to my understand yep okay I did that very fascinating this whole situation I'll be intrigued to see what the NCAA does with the punishment because you potentially open a Pandora's Box for people to go back about to sign stuff especially with what Coach T will just said right there we we saw Michigan play football last year like boot on the ground we saw him I think a couple games we see Arkansas Arkansas what was their record you know every great everybody's doing it but you got to go out there and ex you got to have the players you got to have the scheme everybody's doing and Conor definitely found some loopholes and he went a little maybe too far but it will be it it was interesting on it on my ex at least it was like people were split right down to oh Harbaugh definitely knew Harbaugh had no idea so I I'm interested to see once I watched the con St got game ball against the Hawks he did and it kind of just you know reinforced uh my beliefs that you know I mean we were cheated obviously I mean he was he was no but it really I mean like we've talked about this it's a perfect example just of you know pigs get fed Hogs get slaughtered because if you would have just continued to kind of do it how everyone else is doing it I'm sure you know then whatever you maybe get a slap on a wrist but like The Smoking Gun really or when it I I feel like when it kind of got to be like a massive deal is when they had that picture of him you know like dressed up on the central Michigan sideline it's like okay well if he's doing stuff like this like maybe that is you know he's not just having one of his buddies record signals at a different game it's like this dude who is a staffer for Michigan is on a different University sideline you know like what the hell is he doing there I feel like that's when it was really like okay something needs to be done about this and also you know and we said about we said this last year during the coverage of it all and our show was used a lot in that documentary I didn't know that was coming uh so that's why we ran their [ __ ] too without asking so you know we can fair play fair play fair play good good on you and I think might have Maverick Carter uh who's one of the executive producers on it uh on this week at some point to chitchat a little bit more about the entirety of the story but it became the thing that took over College talk and it's like even if Harbaugh didn't know they reaped the benefit of it you know like they re they certainly reaped the benefit of everything that was happening which is why the punishment is going to have to happen at some point and did happen at time but for their team not to Blink after all that imagine if they were able to continue to know everybody's signals like did they have a backup signal guy because every other team they were playing against going forward certainly had people trying to decipher signals did Michigan have no signal people because they weren't allowed as they went on to win it's almost like wait a minute was it more impressive now that they weren't able to do anything we shall see
