Does UM has a S&C problem?

[YUMU]

Honest questions... I don't see our athletes as physically developed as other programs, not as explosive. I see our players don't get injured as often which is positive

Do we have a problem at S&C?

Is it the athletes the other programs are recruiting?

Are other programs using "substances" we are not utilizing?

 

[Ghandi]

The S&C cannot turn chicken **** into chicken salad.

That's to say the caliber of athletes being recruited are not the same. Not even close.

 

[Odysseus]

No just more top of the line blue chip talent

 

[Hurracanes]

I feel like we have had this discussion for the last 15 years.

It’s like the dudes here don’t ever get stronger

 

[Cane4life18]

We do this with every S&C coach we get. Feely is fine. Chill. We have more of a coaching problem than a S&C one.

 

[Koke]

You're about to get attacked by the Feeley crew

 

[Ethnicsands]

It’s hard to say. We have a culture issue. All else correlates to it.

You remember what bolden/ Phillips looked like when they arrived?

you remember cam’s freshman year to now?

not that it helped his play but DJ ivey too.

 

[Tetragrammaton Cane]

Definitely an S&C problem. Whether it’s a symptom of the culture or not is a valid question but believing because Feeley has the certifications that he’s infallible is crazy.

 

[Mackmiller974]

I think we have a Work Ethic Problem. Guys who actually put the work in see results. Just go look at the results from Rousseau, Phillips and Zion.

Guys have gotten bigger yes. Bolden still skinny as ****. And Ivey is getting trucked by freshmen wrs. I was mainly talking about the trenches tho. O-line and d-line get pushed around by any team with a pulse

 

[CaneDog66]

We’ve got a LOT of things that need fixing in my opinion before S&C. Namely a real DC and assistants on that side of the ball that can recruit, develop, and coach. Give me that first then let’s tackle Feeley.

 

[CFLCane]

You could use unicorn horn spray on Harley and Pope and those boys wouldn't get any bigger. Different athletes.

 

[Tru C]

The problem is we don’t have Santana moss, Andre Johnson and Devin Hester anymore

 

[tsimonitis]

S&C always looks better with better players and athletes

 

[RightSaidFred]

It’s hard to say. We have a culture issue. All else correlates to it.

I agree with this. I can't even tell if we have a S&C issue, because we have so many other, more obvious ones.

Like not blocking, tackling, or catching the football well... for example.

Yup.. Huge talent disparity in locker room and coaching offices..

 

[SayWhat]

S&C, there's more to it than just getting bigger and stronger. You could take 10 players at a position and all have them do the same routines, reps, and eat the same things. All are going to physically improve, but some will look beastly, some won't. It's genetics, and it's always going to be a mixed bag of results.

Those teams you mentioned are full of physical freaks. Perfect height, size, speed for days, can jump through the roof, etc. Promise you a guy like Smith on Alabama has put work in, but he's not a physical looking guy. Strong and wiry, but we see the results.

As for results, check out Jaelan Phillips before he got here compared to now. Obviously some are putting in work.

Strength and endurance wise (Feelys job) I think we are good

Its the extra stuff the kids need to be doing on their own to get better

working on technique
Hitting the jugs machine for hours
Extra routes
Working on footwork

in today’s world the kids need to be self motivated to do those things
