With all due respect, I don’t think that will do it.
Please link the list of both the AP and USA Today final Strength and Conditioning Top 25 polls from the past 10 years. I think this would help us narrow down who our targets should be***
Almost every P4 team in the country has been better than ours the last two seasons.
Last I heard, he was our former deep snapper who is the S&C coach at Miami, where he followed Mario Cristobal from Oregon.
He retired to spend more time with his family. I think he’s a personal trainer now, or plans to be.
We have lazy players. Especially on the OL. You only have to watch for one quarter to see it.
Yes he’s here in the Birmingham area now

Why do you think they’re lazy? Do you think a big cause could be Lebby’s scheme, being the fastest tempo in the SEC for the 2025 season, averaging 22.2 seconds per play?
Most people simply cannot think outside the box enough to even consider what you're talking about. It's just a knee-jerk "fire the coach get better players etc etc etc" - very simplistic. But overall player development, whether that's IDing them, strengthening them, or whatever, is absolutely one area where we have to go outside the box. There's a reason the mainstream has never worked for us.
Being the fastest tempo team in the SEC, we are literally asking the offensive linemen to do something that traditional college strength and conditioning programs are not fully built to handle, and the injury numbers prove it.
No offense but this is just hive mentality. Yes of course build and don’t neglect NIL but no matter what we will never have enough compared to most of our conference. So again, let’s talk about the offensive line. How has someone like a Vanderbilt’s offensive line been better than ours the past two seasons? Someone here said it’s because ours are lazy. Ok why? Serious question. If that’s not true, then how how’s their oline been better than ours the past two seasons?
That's an interesting observation that I hadn't thought about. Not to mention the idea of turning MSU into a speed school is idiotic to begin with. King Jackie said this clearly back in the 90s.
You in the right neighborhood, just not quite at the right house. This is something we have to consistently do. But we don't want to 'splurge'.....remember Ole Miss did that and it netted them 9-3. And yes, agree, look where we are with all our giving over the past couple years.
Yayuh mayun. @kired already poked a hole in that:
Loser mentality that you want a spreadsheet or break down of NIL. You just don’t want to give that’s the whole thing. Call Charlie talk to him. But your to lazy to do that
We all have life but throwing a little toward SEF isn’t gonna break anyone. We need the large donations sure but if we had 10K fans giving 25 a month an extra 3MM a year to help NIL.
That might just pay the “tempo-tax” for offensive (and defensive) lineman in Lebby’s tempo offense. I just talked about this in my other thread about Offensive linemen and hidden metrics.
We are going to spend a lot in portal. You’re with us or against us. Either way we are moving forward. We are going show this staff or the next we are invested in football. This aint your gran pappys mithippi Tate. Get on board.
Why do you want to pay 25–40% inflation in NIL for linemen because of Lebby’s offense? Better yet why do you want others to pay this tempo-tax? Do you work for the government?
