FOOTBALL Freeze on helmet mics in bowl…

[BryanMatthews]

Auburn will utilize tablets on sidelines but not a helmet mic for quarterbacks. Here’s why…

The helmet is a whole different deal. This is kind of an 'above me' discussion. Truthfully, the idea alone, with us being able to communicate with our quarterback, I like. I think it's something that will help with some of the signal issues we're having, and obviously, everybody's trying to pick off your signals during games. It's just part of the game. But I do think that can help.

However, the stuff that's above me is: Does it affect the safety of the helmets? What does the SEC want to do as a whole, as a conference, with who they want to go with if we should move in that direction? It was just a lot of things in a short amount of time to try to process. I said, 'Look, I'm OK. We've signaled now for 12 games. I think we'll be OK for a bowl game.' It doesn't bother me at all if Maryland chooses to do that. It just felt like an awful lot of conversations were having to be had, and I was in the middle of recruiting and trying to get ready for a bowl game, and I didn't want to meet with these different manufacturers. I just said, 'It's just not that important to me for a bowl game.'
