Strength and conditioning Mark Philipp

Pretty sure Boyd is going to be heavily involved. Mark is going to be under his tutelage.

Official winter program started yesterday.

Basically confirmed that Boyd Epley was involved in the hiring and Philipp has a similar philosophy to Boyd.

I wish Philipp had a twitter, that would be fun

Too busy "cutting the fat" from some of the players to be on twitter.

I put him in my list because BTN.com followed him after he was hired. My list of coaches, GA's, assistants, and staff: https://twitter.com/devnet/lists/husker-football-staff

I don't think that's the right one.

Pretty sure this is the right one but he hasn't tweeted in over two years. Perhaps he has a new one that I haven't seen yet.

Thanks...I added him to the list and took the other off. Going to try to keep on top of that list as time goes on.

There are also lists here and here, fwiw.

If he is the no bullsh#t type like some have said, he could be our best hire of the bunch. Our guys have been way to soft the last 10+ years and that needs to change. Can't wait to see what he will do with these players.

I know one of Mark's ex coworkers out at USC. His name is Kurtis Shultz and is the strength coach for USC's basketball team. He said Nebraska is getting the next big name SC coach and the players are going to love him. Shultz said that he and Mark were viewing tape of our players during bowl preparation and are impressed by the athletes. He said Mark will get them "ripped up" and in game shape but he told Shultz that he wanted to fix our player's hips. That was the first thing he noticed when he watched the tape. Mark said Nebraska's talent would show more if some of our players didn't waste so much movement trying to get upfield. Apparently Mark told Shultz, " The white boy safety is going to go first round once I fix his hips." Last thing I'll say is that Mark is a cool guy and that he loves beer.

How do I know Kurtis Shultz? He's my neighbor.

Athleticism always comes down to the hips.

Excellent post...... I'm feeling good about this hire.

All this recent chatter about Phillips bring back some old school muscle to the Huskers is pretty damned exciting. If I weren't so old I might get wood! Heh heh....

 

[TonyStalloni]

I want to know how he plans to "fix the hips!" Is this stretching or lifting?
