It makes sense that our teams in the Leavitt years could compete, maybe it was due to our superior S&C? You be the judge.. What is your take?

I don't care what he says about wanting to remain self-employed. The Patriots could easily give him a million dollars if they thought he could provide an advantage and he'd take it in a heartbeat. "I have never served as a strength coach for a university or professional sports team" and now you're going to tell me how they're doing it wrong? That's like me saying, "I never went to medical school nor have I ever been a doctor, but you're doing that brain surgery wrong." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like me saying, "I never went to medical school nor have I ever been a doctor, but you're doing that brain surgery wrong." If you had cared to read the whole article, he answers this question later in the article. Quotes I thought that were interesting and that IMO pertain to USF football at one time or another: "If the kids are out of gas by the fourth quarter, you either have a strength problem or a nutrition problem which should be addressed at halftime. Mashing your athletes into a stinking mass of goo with excess conditioning will almost always make the problem worse." and this gem: "Oftentimes, coaches will brag about not lifting heavy, and how they focus on "core strength," "functional training," and speed/agility movements instead. This is simply a layer of ******** to cover for the fact that they are not sufficiently competent to coach an athlete capable of squatting 600 for reps." I thought it was a good read and he brings up valid points, but I have no experience in lifting. Maybe someone can chime in who does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I'll say is that Stanford has been the gold standard for taking inferior athletes from high school and turning them into stud football players. Plenty of stats to back up the fact that their S&C program has been fantastic since Harbaugh brought it guys to overhaul it. And those guys don't care a whit about how many squats a guy can do. Who does a squat on a football field? The brain surgery analogy is spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
