New Strength & Conditioning Staff

There may be some new ways to do somethings but there is no substitutes for WORK (hard, strenuous, exhausting, physically demanding work).  
 

Players who don’t have what it takes (heart, desire, guts, determination, willpower etc) should leave now.  No more ‘partipation medals’ for showing up and being on the team.  This is no longer amateur games for fun.  This is real pro ball. The players wanted to be paid for their efforts. They got their wish.  Now, the free college education is replaced by a hard job that a lot competitors will try to take away.  In the end, some players will like pay for play. Others will not.  Some will benefit and some will not.  
 

I’m not sure that the NFL will appreciate the competition.  It’s possible some stay at the college level for their careers.

It's a bit more complex. There's the exercises done. How they're done. Techniques. Flexibility training. Timing, schedules. Recovery time. Strength vs. Endurance. Developing routines unique to the position and individual player. Nutrition. I get your point. WORK is indeed necessary. The commitment. The willingness to do it over and over. To start and keep going. Doing it even when one doesn't want to. 

It's just that I've witnessed people not very efficient in their training doing counter productive things working very hard.  Sometimes too hard and then not taking care of themselves doing foolish things. There's a great many things to consider that maximize one's efforts. Oftentimes it's not the interest or lack of drive but ignorance, not being aware that there are other, more effective ways of accomplishing what one wants to achieve. The NFL appreciates discipline. It's one of the main things that they're looking for.  

 
Word is that this is a good snapshot of what the new methods are like:

I got to thinking about something last night specifically to the O line.  There has been a lot of talk on here about how our problems have been largely due to strength and conditioning making our linemen less flexible and mobile.  

So, my question is, how much input does an O line coach have with what type of body he wants on his O line?  I would think this would be a bigger factor with linemen than almost anywhere else.  Sure, a coach can teach technique and needs to teach the scheme and them playing as a unit.  But, I could see a large part of the success is having O linemen built in the weight room the way the O line coach wants.

So, is that determined by the O line coach?  Or, does he just have to accept what the S&C program gives him?

I got to thinking about Bill Callahan with this.  I was thinking about how I would fully accept him with open arms as our O line coach.  But, if that were to happen, would he (or whomever is hired) have the freedom and responsibility to build the O linemen how THEY want them built?

Agile, mobile, and hostile.

 
Just great stuff  Rhule has hired some “A” guys and this one is one of them surely. He nails it imo.  Thoughtful. Knowledgeable.  Smart. Systematic.  Hope he gets the guys to listen and learn.  The weights and drills don’t do the work - each man does. But, it sure seems Coach C knows his stuff. He seems like a guy young athletes will follow. 
 

GBR - Husker Power!

What's the difference between white and red then?  Are there three tiers to this?

I could be wrong, but I took it as the elite players will be identified and wear black jerseys from putting in the work...  both offense and defense.  The others suit up in red or white.  Maintaining it (black jersey), losing it, or someone else taking it (week to week) will bring out the competition to a new level.  New Era.  New concept for Blackshirts.  Elite.

Every time we have a coaching change we get all excited about how the new s&c staff is going to fix whatever it is about the old staff we didn’t like that lead to us losing.

I’m all about chugging the Kool-Aid but I won’t be chugging any strength and conditioning kool-aid… At least not until after the season starts.

Well our S&C coach knows how to get there, just go ask him and look at him.  What I'd like to see is what changes he has made to taking over and running his own program.  He has all the resources to make us better just don't think Zach Duvall utilized it to his advantage.  When I think of ZD he was more old school.

What specifically makes you think Duval was 'old school'?
