Coaches want targeting rules altered

[chapmaja]

I personally feel, as a fan, that the rules as they are in place now don't work properly. I want the officials to call the penalty for targeting, but I want to make sure this is called correctly. Therefore I think it should be penalized on the field, then reviewed immediately to determine if the penalty actually occurred and if the ejection and penalty should be upheld or not.

I think the most important thing is that the call is made correctly and that the game is impacted as little as possible. With the way the current rule is, the game is impacted significantly, and even if the call is wrong (ejection is overturned) it is impacted to a substantial degree.

My bigger concern is I have yet to hear how this impacts FCS, dII and DIII football where there is no replay to overturn the call. It's a good rule (that needs adjustment) for televised games, but for games that are not televised it could be a very bad rule.
