There has to be a delineation between 15 yard penalty targeting and “ejected from game” targeting. It hasn’t stopped the hits, and 2-3 people are getting ejected from every game. Most are not malicious or deserving of ejections.
 
We have a guy with incredible athletic ability and passion that plays with terrible technique. Didn’t see any coaches talking to him afterwards to tell him what he’s doing wrong - just a few people slapping hands and telling him it’s okay. Maybe that’s part of the problem.

They need to change it to something like the fragrant rule in the NBA. Have different levels with different penalties.

This is a reach.
 
He absolutely did NOT deserve the ejection. Rewatch the play. Hell,the opposing player actually helped his helmet off. It was bullshit

It's seriously straight garbage when compared with the one they reviewed early for them and didn't call targeting, coach lost us this game but the refs sure didn't help

I wasn't able to see the replay well from where I was so can't comment on this specific one, but I'd say those types of hits have absolutely gone way down in large part to how severe the consequences are.

I think the rule is fine now that they are obligated to review every one. Back when you couldn't review it was pretty dumb.

Also, saying 2-3 people are ejected per game seems like an exaggeration. I'd say it's normally one at most, and often not even that.

Probably 1 on average. Usually Charlie Thomas for dropping his helmet
 
If your entire defense falls apart when you lose one guy that you didn’t even recruit and it’s year 4, you’re a öööö coach.

Sorry, OP. Who cares about the rule right now? I just want Geoff Collins to never step foot onto Tech’s campus ever again.

There’s 96 other threads calling for Goof’s head. If you don’t want to read this one then don’t click.
 
As of this year, conferences can appeal a second half penalty. I think this was a weak penalty, but I feel like it meets the definition.
ARTICLE 3. No player shall target and make forcible contact against an opponent with the crown of his helmet. This foul requires that there be at least one indicator of targeting (See Note 1 below). When in question, it is a foul.

Sadly, the crown directly hit the player's shoulder.
