there will inevitably be a report saying that the previous S&C coach had no idea what he was doing and we looked weak. And the players are feeling the pain with the new guy.
If your college team gets a new S&C Coach...

Who are all our past strength coaches? Seems like the guy we just had (Akins or Atkins?), was a previous assistant. I actually looked at the possibility of buying his house about 3 years back (wife just couldn't take the culture shock of moving to the 'ville). Of coures, everyone should remember Mike Grant & his Seal training. We need to bring back Coach34's bud (& mine), Perry Lyles to be asst S&C coach. Back in the good old days, he was an asst. S&C coach & showed me the body fat estimates for all our players. Elvis Butler & Pat Swoopes topped the list (amazingly, Pat played a while for the Aints, but Elvis quit & lived in 'Butler' no less when I was a Jr. many moons ago; always said Elvis was the dumbest guy I ever ran across in college).
It's always the same ****. 'The guys are working harder than they've ever worked.' Nowell was supposed to be awesome when he came in, and we heard the same things about Pollard. We see what that got us on the field.
We could have a whole colony of ex-Huntsville dawgs!
Your wife would learn to love it, probably.

I am ex-Navy. I was not a SEAL, and never had the desire to be one. I did, however, have the opportunity to work with them, and had several of them as friends (read: drinking buddies). I have seen the insane crap that they do going through BUDS. The bottom line is this: putting someone through a SEAL workout/physical training regimen means squat. There is a huge difference in BUDS and a college S&C program. College scholarship football players are not going to lose their scholarship if they can not or will not completely perform the training tasks. BUDS candidates go back to "The Fleet" if they can not perform. BUDS/SEAL training is about learning to push yourself beyond your own idea of what your physical and mental limits are. Bottom line is that it's about having the intestinal fortitude to drive on no matter how tired, hungry, and miserable you are. Our players in that training regimen got a very watered down version of SEAL training, and really had to face no repercussions if they didn't perform to standard. A lot of that was also driven (hampered?) by NCAA rules. I'm sure the NCAA would frown upon players having to spend 24+ hours neck deep in 50 degree (or colder) surf with ordinance going off around them and bullets flying overhead or going a week straight with no sleep, conducting training the entire time. Guaranteed, if a player suffered a stress fracture in his femur during training, he would be sidelined until it healed. In BUDS, you even mention it, you're done, so you better keep your mouth shut if you want to make it through (this happened to a buddy of mine, and that's exactly what he did: kept his mouth shut, dealt with the pain, and became a SEAL).
I know what you're saying, as hell, you hear that every offseason. Bigger, stronger, faster. But I swear our guys were this year. Maybe that's simply a result of having fun. But we also had less injuries, and I give the staff credit for that.
in Nutt and Orgeron's practice routines than it did from the strength and conditioning programs.
Orgeron killed you (not in the over the top full contact scrimmage during the rain delay sense) but his practices were so intense, you were gassed by gameday.

I think the S&C program will be more challenging this time around.

Akins is the basketball strength coach. As for his wife and your mention of culture shock, she's from Grenada County. Way out in Grenada County. Starkville was no culture shock for her. You must be thinking of someone else.jwbigcreek said:
Starkville would be a culture shock for his own wife when he was considering moving here, not Akins.
