Who was the strength coach under Fedora?

Guy named Lou Hernandez. Here's his bio, FWIW:

Lou Hernandez is in his sixth season as North Carolina’s head football strength and conditioning coach. During his tenure in Chapel Hill, Hernandez has helped the Tar Heels become bigger, stronger and faster with his workout philosophy and techniques. Over the last six years, an average of 45 student-athletes per season have power cleaned 308 pounds or more, one of the many quantitative measurements used in Hernandez’s program.

Carolina players have consistently proven their training abilities at the NFL combine workouts leading up to the NFL Draft. In 2017, Logan was the fastest tailback at the event, running the 40-yard dash in 4.37 seconds. In 2013 center Russell Bodine, now with the Cincinnati Bengals, had the most bench press reps (42) of any player, a mark achieved by only 15 players previously. Bodine also had one of the top five vertical jumps for an offensive lineman. Tre Boston was among the top safeties in bench and 40-yard dash, while defensive end Kareem Martin had the best broad jump of any lineman. Boston was a third-round pick of the Carolina Panthers.

Hernandez helped develop tight end Eric Ebron into a first-team All-America and a first-round draft pick. Ebron had the second fastest time in the 40-yard dash of any tight end at the NFL Combine and the third-best broad jump. He set ACC records for a tight end in receptions and receiving yards in 2013. Ebron was selected No. 10 overall by the Detroit Lions in the 2014 NFL Draft.

Hernandez helped train five first-round NFL Draft picks in Champaign, including Rashard Mendenhall (Pittsburgh) in 2008, Vontae Davis (Miami) in 2009, Corey Liuget (San Diego) in 2011 and Whitney Mercilus (Houston) and A.J. Jenkins (San Francisco) in 2012.

Hernandez worked for three seasons at Florida as the assistant director of strength and conditioning from 2002-04. He moved to Florida after serving on the New York Jets staff. Prior to his one-year stint with the Jets, Hernandez spent 10 years at the University of Houston, including five years as the director of the program.

Makes sense that Manny would hate UF. Grew up a Cane’s fan. Attended FSU.
 
I want to fill out the staff with guys that have connects and can recruit nationwide not just the couple hundred square miles around Miami.

As hard as it is to believe there are now 5 star studs all over the country not just s. Fla.

Now we need to get the cream of the crop from Miami bu we also need to look elsewhere and be able to get Kids from other areas.

The U is a national brand.We need to get back to realizing that.

Looks like Mel Tucker is scooping up Kapilovic to be OL coach with The Buffs.

As I said in another thread, That was 2 weeks ago. I don’t think he has any personal ties to Colorado or Mel Tucker and is a Southeast guy. I think if Fedora makes the call, there is a chance he pulls a Cristobal and heads here. Do t know much about him but looks like he coached up some good OL

Many appear to like his ability to recruit even more than his coaching skills.
 
One thing that needs to end: the “winning the Coastal” Culture around the Gables.

Anyone think that Dabo wastes one minute of his guys minds on “winning the Atlantic”?

I didn’t think so either.
