New Strength & Conditioning Staff

Wasn't he "good to go" the year before as well?  Then got hurt in spring?
He was good to go until he got a slight tear in the other knee.  It wasn’t even close to as bad as the first one but while he was out, they went back into the first knee and cleaned some stuff up.  He could have actually been back for the start of the year if they didn’t work on both knees.  He was cleared to play after the OU game. 

 
Interesting comment by Hausmann on leaving NU for Michigan.  I wonder if other current players are glad for the new S&C as well. 

Hausmann says that above all he was most impressed with the Wolverines’ secret weapon: strength and conditioning coach Ben Herbert.

Elite athletes want to be pushed to get better, get stronger, and get faster.  It's part of what makes them elite.  If Haussman wasn't getting that at NU under Duval and the prior staff, that is concerning.  I wouldn't be surprised if other former players felt that way, as well.

On the other hand, someone like me will literally leave the gym if I have to wait for a bench to open up.

I am optimistic that the guys on the team under Frost and Co will be amazed at the professionalism under Rhule. We "looked" worse under Duval.  Never saw the physicality, toughness and endurance I had anticipated initially.

Bypass the community gym shower while you are at it....

Or that's just something that players say when the approach is different.  Darrion Daniels said similar things when he transferred here from Oklahoma State.

In the real world, there are many worthless things HR does.  I’d rank “exit interviews” right near the top.

 
I remember thinking "huh" on this comment from Stephon Wynn last summer comparing Alabama to Nebraska S&C

"It's college football. Everybody works out hard. I came from Alabama. I'm pretty sure we worked out hard," Wynn said. "It's just a different type of stuff we did here that we didn't do there. Not saying it was harder, easier, nothing like that. Just different movements ... working on different parts of the body, different than I was used to being trained. But once I got used to it, it got normal"

It wasn't the normal "best shape of my life" or "we're working harder than ever".  It was like he was being charitable saying Nebraska was "different".
