So all this to say I’m technically correct. The best type of correct.
Would you be happy with us hiring a game changer coordinator/coach at all? Emulating UF wouldn’t be a positive period so, that’s not a valid point lol
Who is saying it’s such an issue? lol. I view it as a C to B- hire. What’s the issue with me saying that? Do you have some evidence that he should be viewed as an A hire? Like what is even talks argument against me saying it’s a lackluster hire? That it could be a good hire? Okay it could also be a bad one. What would make you more confident he was a good hire is if he had proven it before, which he hasn’t. So what I’m saying is perfectly valid. And again It’s not like I said dude was trash, I said it was a lackluster hire
Without you being part of the staff that hired him or even close to the team, you can say it's a lackluster hire.
Doesn't make it correct or you correct. It's an uninformed opinion based on something that's grossly overrated by you because of an apparent lack of experience both on the educational and the practical side.
I say I like Chicken and you take that to mean I don’t like steak…
Everyone on this board is making uninformed opinions daily regarding every coach and recruitment then lol. You’re essentially questioning why this website exists
The reason people like you view schools like Alabama, Georgia, and Ohio State as having "strong" strength and conditioning programs is because they continuously recruit the best athletes and have good facilities, not because their coordinators put together the best workouts lol. Just take a look at Young's academic background- I think we'll be more than fine lol

I'm just pointing out that this resume "progression" from S&C "Coach" to S&C "Coordinator" has never existed previously.
It has nothing to do with me being "happy" or "unhappy". I'm just observing the changing times.
not mutually exclusive
Well when the poster literally tries to clown on me for calling him a coordinator, when the announcement LITERALLY calls him a coordinator, you can see why I’d laugh at that entire argument lol. I’m just factually correct when I called him a coordinator, all the debate anyone wants to have about if it’s really a coordinator or whatever is irrelevant. And in fact if you are leading the S&C program and designing the gameplan and in charge why wouldn’t you be every bit the coordinator that the OC/DC/RGC/PGC is? Like sure it a title. But often the titles have meaning and are a valid description of the role
Funny you mention UF. I am in agreement with Urban on this one, the strength and conditioning coach is the most important coach on the team. He spends more time with players than any other coach, he instills, discipline, work ethic and has to be a jack of all trades. All of Mario's coaches have to be relatively young to work for him. All the 50+ year old coaches Mario has hired, are all gone. They simply can't handle the hrs, demand. They are ridiculous, but you don't have to work for him. If your established and old, you aren't working those hrs. A end with UF, Tebow thanked his S&C coach in his Heisman acceptance speech. We all have opinions. The answer to the debate can only be a opinion.
Then what exactly is your issue with him then? I get that he’s only been leading our strength and conditioning for a few months now and he hasn’t had that title before, but are you really that concerned about Young’s ability to put together workouts for these players? With the way we’ve been recruiting, there should really be no concerns about this hire. Also, if Young wasn’t working out, they would have brought in someone new before the summer session
lol
The difference is no one in here states "I'm technically correct" after their posts.
I understand that reading comprehension is really, really, really hard at times but you called it a lackluster hire due to him never being a coordinator.
You don't have to be a coordinator at a previous stop to be a coordinator on your next hire. Coordinators delegate and work with assistants and construct plans all the time, especially in the strength department. It doesn't matter. We've tried to explain this to you more than once and you were unwilling to understand what we were trying to say.
Aaron Feld was a assistant strength coach for three years at Georgia, equalling the same position Young had, and was hired by Oregon to lead the department. It's not that deep.
Can't say youre correct when youre incorrect. And notice the person that originally brought up that point dropped it once I pointed out how I was 100% correct lol.
So on a scale of F to A, what grade are you giving the Hire? I agree it's not that deep. So give a grade
Nah S&C coordinator isn't important whatsoever and nobody is allowed to think a hire in that role is 'meh' and not super confidence inspiring.
You were correct on the title, he was not.
But I wouldn't read too much into that, as THE JOB has historically been a "coach" job, not a "coordinator" job.
For now, all I care about is whether Mario is happy with this guy. I don't care about the titles. If Mario wanted "someone else" and then had to settle for this guy, that wouldn't be great. But if we waited for this guy to become available, I'm fine with that.
Time will tell. If sleeves go unfilled, it will not be a good thing.
I can't be ****d...
He has the necessary qualifications at an expert level, has translated that towards a gradual increase in roles and opportunities in College Football, knows the players and is familiar with both their work, plans and habits and has worked in this field for ten years at the very minimum coaching young athletes.
It's a B. It'll improve to an A if we have a healthy team and well developed freshmen.
