Hate to say it, but...go ask all of those former Canes who come back to work out every offseason if they need all of those gadgets and bullsh*t to get the job done.

I didn't see any "gadgets" besides the lights for the Cone Drills. Just weights.

By former Canes I hope you mean pre 2008. Pre-2008 Canes may say no considering they weren't brought up in the new era of CFB.

I consider all of those machines that measure your "explosiveness" and "reaction time" to be unnecessary gadgets

In terms of power/Olympic lifts and stretching, I'm pretty sure our strength program covers all of those bases

All that was is a ghey "rah rah, look at us" video

SPARQ is going to be used a lot going forward imo; the Seahawks already use it. While I agree that you don't need those "gadgets" to win, it does help in determining a player's athleticism which a lot of coaches with certain schemes take into account when recruiting their players.

Well as far as I know, SPARQ is primarily used to measure kids on the HS level, and it provides college coaches a "measurement" of a recruits athleticism. However, by no means is that an absolute indication of how good of a player that recruit is going to be.

I know plenty of kids who blew the SPARQ camps out of the water, but it didn't necessarily translate to the field, for whatever reason. They were just good athletes.

I think the system is a tad bit overrated.

I heard about a brand new cutting edge system that guarantees numerous future 1st round picks. It is called the BBB.

Yes, meanwhile, in Miami they are doing a drill that hundreds of other teams, high school, college, and pro, do.

Agreed. You can get just as much out of weight bags, weighted vests, box jumps, running in the beach, etc... Those are nice to haves but not necessary IMO.

Using that ball is no different then using practice dummies which every nfl, college, and high school team uses.
 
Pretty impressive, but the Canes did have more draft picks than Auburn!

Miami Hurricanes off season conditioning > Auburns off season conditioning

This. Either golden and staff doesn't record it or it's just not happening cause I've yet to see a video of our team training with this kind of intensity and all around savagery.

just go and do what our boys do in two hours and see how you hold up.... with all the Bull**** our guys are in shape, they work the weight rooms pretty hard, some schools do things different sure...like win!!
 
Got a guy from my high school that is 4 years older than me and he starts working as an assistant strength coach at Auburn in a few weeks. He is the smartest guy I've ever met. Trains olympic athletes at this facility right now as well as worlds strongest man competitors.

He has something like 2 gold medals, 4 silver, and 10 plus bronze metals that the people he trains have accounted for while working under him.

And we have Andreu Swasey and Al Golden.
 
People just find everything to complain about. One side of their mouth they want to talk about how all the players come back to work out here in the offseason and brag about it. And from the other side say that Swasey stinks and we are behind. There's always going to be idiots

Auburn's weight room is impressive. Miami has bridged the gap somewhat but will never have the facilities the large SEC or other major conferences have. This doesn't mean they can't compete with the big bois on the field.
 
While a lot of these new machines are neat and the cool new thing they are not necessary. Many of the old items do the same exact thing. Kinda like these cell phones everyone keeps getting. Their S3 is still in mint condition and can do everything but they want the S6 cuz everyone else is getting one.
 
The s6 is bigger stronger and faster then the s3.

Pretty much what all other teams are to us.
