A resume stretch?

From WacoTrib:

But first-year Baylor strength and conditioning coach Kaz Kazadi calls that the byproduct, not the goal, of a demanding summer conditioning program that has just completed its sixth week. The grueling 2- to 2 1/2-hour sessions at 6:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. are preparing players for a football season instead of the next body-building contest.

“My whole philosophy is I train for performance,” said Kazadi, who headed up South Florida’s program last year when the Bulls were ranked as high as No. 2 in the nation after a 6-0 start that included wins over Auburn and West Virginia.

I think Kazadi was with USF for one year, as an assistant.

Insignificant, but another reporting flub.

I doubt he stretched his resume. More like they just assumed he had the same position at USF. Just sloppy reporting.

Here is his Bio from Baylor:

Kaz Kazadi

Position:

Head Strength Coach

Alma Mater:

Tulsa, 1997

Kaz Kazadi is in his first year as the head strength and conditioning coach for Art Briles' Baylor football program. He joined the Baylor staff from South Florida, where he spent the 2007 season helping develop a Bulls team which reached No. 2 in the wire service polls for one week and earned a bid to the Brut Sun Bowl.

"He's going to bring an attitude and focus of why we are here at Baylor," said Briles. "When January 14th hits, we will have a plan through our strength and conditioning program that will be geared to peak our guys Aug. 30th when we play Wake Forest in Floyd Casey Stadium. Kaz brings a background of successful strength and conditioning from Missouri to Kansas City to South Florida as a coach and of course he played the game, so he understands what it takes to prepare your body, mind and soul to be an outstanding player."

A standout linebacker at the University of Tulsa, Kazadi earned All-Western Athletic Conference honors for the Hurricanes and was a Butkus Award semifinalist.

Born in Zaire, Africa, Kazadi received his bachelor's degree from Tulsa in sociology with a psychology minor.

Drafted by the NFL's Saint Louis Rams in 1997 after an All-American senior season which saw him earn a Fitness All-American Award, he played five years of pro ball, including stints in the Canadian Football League and the World Football League.

After his professional playing career ended, Kazadi was a graduate assistant at the University of Missouri where he earned his master's degree from the school of education in counseling psychology with an emphasis in health promotion and sport psychology. From there, he spent one season as a strength and conditioning coach with the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs before moving to USF.

Kazadi and his wife Monique have three children: Ra-sun, Isis and Rohon.

I clearly have it on my resume that I had an important role in bringing the South Florida Bulls to the #2 ranking in the nation last year. I figured if senators can claim they invented the internet, I can claim responsibility for a team I helped fund and support!
