I just watched the behind the bench videos from 1 winning drive, and I noticed that throughout the game the coaches, specifically Teryl Austin, keep changing hat color. It goes from red, to gold, to green, and so forth. I'm guessing this is football related, but does anybody know what this is for?

If a tree falls down in the woods and no one is around to hear it, do the Steelers still suck?

I couldn't help but think of the various crews on an aircraft carrier that are designated by different colored uniforms. I doubt it had anything to do with that though.

I liked the splash of color though. Those hats really popped.

I noticed it during the game as well.

The only logical explanation that I could come with is that it was a way for the players to easily identify their positional coach. This was important because they knew the Patriots were going to go heavy with the no-huddle. This made it easier for the players to track their positional coach down on the sideline in case any adjustments needed to be signaled (especially since it was loud) or if personnel changes were needed on the fly.

But the fact that they were switching colors and had a combo of red/green/yellow leads me to suspect that it might have just been for Hispanic Heritage Month like someone else noted. But then again, they could have been switching colors to confuse the Patriots (far-fetched).

Losers always say "Next time's gonna be different!". That's right, next time you're gonna lose again.

Impressive Sir, can't argue sound reasoning. How are you at drawing up defensive schemes? lol

Makes sense...they should have come up with that a long time ago if that was the reason.

That's classic dude. Maybe the next time you can take Cam with you. He could use some help surgically carving up defenses.

I have to admit that was a new one on me too! lol I noticed that Austin had on different color sweatbands on each arm as well, (red and yellow I think). I thought hmmm...great idea hold up red arm for one set of personel changes and yellow for another. But who knows could have just been a fashion statement! lol

I noticed the red one, most likely thought the yellow one was a flag because there was an over abundance of them-- I hope I get home before 0300 on Thursday/Friday AM

That's ridiculous. Glad he didn't get hurt.

The ref was like, "Oh no! He catches this and I lose in my fantasy league." *throws hat. "Gotcha."

He probably works for Buffalo Wild Wings.
