At this point, you're either being deliberately obtuse or actually have such poor reading comprehension that I can't tell the difference. You've made your point: you don't think there's enough evidence to support the claim that Feld has a significant role in the injuries to the team, while I...

It's funny to me how a guy who doesn't even know the difference between "you're" and "your" is calling everyone else's arguments "dumb" while you continue to strawman the issue. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt but now you're just being an ***. First of all, you continue to say there's...

Oh sorry, I thought this was a message board. I'll be sure to compile a Master's thesis with full statistical analysis in SPSS for your review by Tuesday morning, sir.

It's not like that at all, stop. Again, if you'd read what I said, I've always stated that football is a collision sport and there will be injuries. There isn't anything you can do when a 250lbs LB collides full speed into someone's shoulder. I'm talking specifically about non-contact injuries...

When it happens once, it's an unfortunate accident. When it happens twice, uhh, it's another accident. When it happens over and over again to the same position, you have a systemic issue that needs to be addressed.

I literally quoted my own post on page 4 with a simplified explanation of what could be going on: I mean I'm not going to go into an entire dissertation on knee stability but non-contact ligament problems in the knee are a strong indicator of improper S&C programming, it means there's an...

I'm pretty cognizant of what I say. If you'd read what I actually said, I never once insinuated he was incompetent or that he should be fired. I merely pointed out a strong correlation for Feld and injuries that makes me suspicious, even if I don't have a causal link. Even the Oregon fan right...

Well, fortunately or unfortunately, I don't get paid to make those decisions. I've made posts on here before but in reality the best S&C coach is probably someone you've never heard of, who has a strong academic background but also is a great motivator, who knows how to create effective...

Do you not see that you're making my point? A 6'2, 215lbs freak athlete FS who was "rarely" in the weight room? Swasey had nothing to do with it, he could have been doing Yoga once a week and still would have been the best player on the field. But when those guys get a championship on freak...

Imagine that. Is Radcliffe still over there in some capacity?

This is the correct answer. I've said it probably 15 times on here but I'll say it again, I will never disparage Swasey's character - and I've shaken his hand in person, but as a S&C coach he and Moffitt and all these guys are dinosaurs. Training the best college football players ever...

After watching basically our entire roster get hurt this season, with John Campbell, Jr. getting hurt IN WARM-UPS tonight, I'd like to bump this thread and in particular highlight this nugget I wrote nearly a year ago regarding Feld and injuries, and how concerned I was. I still don't have...

Most of my clients were high school although my internship was in college and I've privately trained several college athletes. I'm not saying it's impossible; there are many, many variables at play and elite genetics are among them. I just think we all might be surprised how many athletes are...

I liked Feeley because I think S&C was one of the few bright spots under Manny Diaz. He was educated and from what I understand he was a good motivator and other S&C coaches respected him and his programs. Given the players he was handed, I felt he did the best with what he could and we were...

IGF-1 is popular in the bodybuilding community as insulin is a highly anabolic hormone, but I haven't heard much of it in football. I'm not saying that you're wrong or that it's not prevalent but I've heard more rumblings about Deca-Durabolin or Anavar (oxandralone). But IGF-1 is so dangerous...

I've actually been thinking about this a lot. I do wonder what Bama's doing and the degree to which they're doing it, and what other schools are doing. I'm not an expert on anabolic steroids but it would not surprise me in the least if Bama was running an Olympic-level doping program over there...

I agree, I think we should keep an eye on the injuries but I'm also optimistic. I was aware of Turley at Stanford and always read good things about him, but did you see this? https://www.stanforddaily.com/2019/04/17/stanford-fires-award-winning-sports-performance-director/ Wonder what that...

No, I have to admit most of this was on the fly since I saw that he was hired today. I'm also not really sure if there are any public databases or resources out there where we can look at those injuries, then compare them to previous years as well as other programs. It's so tough to model...

No problem and thank you for reading. I'm happy to contribute in any way I can.

Overview Coach Aaron Feld will be brought on as the University of Miami’s Director of Strength & Conditioning (S&C) for football. Coach Feld has been talked about extensively lately and is no doubt quite a character, as most people will instantly notice his old-school handlebar mustache that he...
