I am interested in an evaluation concerning Feld versus his predecessor Feeley. We have the injury bug plaguing the program. I understand that there is a lot that goes into an injury; factors like health history predispositions (in the case of Restrepo), nutrition, physiological profile--even genetics. If you were to make a comparison between Feeley and Feld; or even against his peers nationally, how would you measure that? Is it the number of athletes on an IR report? Is it team-wide performance on muscle mass increase, BMI reduction, weight lifted by quantity reps? What portion of an athlete's overall health, readiness to play football, and propensity to avoid injury belongs to the player and how much would you attribute to the S&C coach? Does a change in practiSe, a change in coaching philosophy's (CMC wanting to go more muscle than brains) contribute to that in any way?
I'm asking this from the PoV that it seems we are seeing more injuries this year; or perhaps this sentiment has more visibility because the lack of depth and experience at those positions with which the injuries have occurred are being made more obvious--and exploited by our opponents.
