Regarding S&C - Swasey

[Stingarov]

Completely applies to this coaching staff. These care bear cousins all need to go. Swasey first amongst them. Best part is the New Jersey connection, lulz.

Unfortunately CMR will have to convince everyone that his replacement will be good for not only the Football program but also the entire athletic departement if he wants to fire Swasey.

Exactly, I don't see why these "Fire Swasey" dolts don't understand that. I think bout' the only thing Richt can do, is bring in His own guy if He's not satisfied with Swasey's work, the basketball team does it.

 

[LexCane55]

Did I seriously see someone mention what a great job he does with Tennis lol. How much money has the Tennis program generated for UM in its entire existence?

Basketball has their own guy so I don't see why football can't do that as well.

UM has 8 S &C coaches. Swasey is over the entire school which includes basketball.

 

[Cityboy4life]

and has to run the programs that every FN head coach wants.

Yeah?

I'll take your word for it, but I thought basketball had their own S&Cing guy...no?

UM has 8 S&C. Swasey is in charge of the entire school. 5 of the 8 are dedicated to the football team and the others to the remaining school sports. Swasey implements the train programs for the entire school

 

[Cityboy4life]

Ok, soooooo Why haven't an nfl team tried or even another P5 school, with more cash to offer, tried to come down and procure his services?

They have and he has declined.

 

[Cityboy4life]

I'm not saying he is the only reason they come back but why would you work out with someone incompetent? Doesn't make sense but I guess you guys know better than me though

These guys are young millionaires hanging out in Miami during the off-season. They're not exactly at the height of training mode. They're partying and relaxing and occasionally meeting up back at school to get some work in and make sure they don't report to camp completely out of shape.

UM more than any school has that bond among alumni. They just like to meet up, get back on campus, and relive the old days with their bros. These kids would come back and work out at UM if DannyBoy was the S&C coach. Ya'll act like hordes of NFL players are flying in for the expertise of Swasey.

So all those pro bowlers and future hall of fame players from UM took the summer off and partied while not in the height of training mode?

Some of you guys say some silly things...smh

 

[Cityboy4life]

Pathetic......he does this every time.

Uses friendship and politics to stay in a job he should have been fired from a decade ago. Guy makes me sick. And any friend of his who vouches for him is doing so at the cost of our players. #FireSwasey now.

He does need to go but, you would do the same thing to feed your family.lol

Honestly the dude has stolen so much money from this school over the years, using his little "I'm th reason the players come back" scam to stay employed. It's really disgusting that he has to enlist his buddies.

If I recall we had former players touting Randy, Cristobal, Kehoe, and on and on.......get the political friendship bs out of my face. He's been a ******* joke here for so long I'm sick of it.

So who has a better Resume than Swasey? List some and give a reason why they are better. Tell us about their strength philosophy

 

[kccanefan]

But who will you find that has a better resume than Swasey? The list of players he has strained who are in the NFL, NFL HOF, NFL Pro Bowl is next level. Not only has he strained UM players other professional athletes from other leagues such as baseball and basketball has come to him.

Serious question: do all of those athletes go to Andreu Swasey, or do they go to Coral Gables, Florida? In other words, if Swasey worked in Laramie, Wyoming, would all of those athletes still go to him?

These players made a decision to not train with their teams S&C coaches which we would consider are the best in the game to come train with Swasey. Their decision seemed to be the correct one as they continued to excel at the highest level. People have a right to want Swasey gone but for reasons that he sucks is not only delusional but straight silly.

Cityboy you have to be related to the guy or its Swasey himself. No idiot can sit here and convince me that Swasey is doing his job. This team has been weak at the line of scrimmage since the later Coker years. Swasey is decent at speed training. That's about it. Skill players come back and train with him. Not one d@mn lineman because they know he is mediocre at strength training.

In addition, no one has tried to hire that guy. You're full of crap. Show me an article or any shred of evidence.

You defending Swasey and agreeing that bringing back Shannon in another thread tells me all I need to know about your intelligence or should I say lack there of.

Let’s discuss your post.

Since no idiot can convince you that Swasey is not doing a good job, can you provide the board with information about his training program and what it offers compared to others?

You mentioned in your post that the team was weak at the line of scrimmage. Let’s talk about that for a second. We have had many players drafted in which they out tested their peers routinely in strength and conditioning. The vaunted Alabama Linemen didn’t test better than ours. So is it really the Strength and Conditioning or is it the coaching and scheme.

Swasey is only good at speed training and he does not know about training linemen? Firstly, Swasey does not train the offensive and defensive linemen. Victor Ishmael trains our defensive and offensive linemen. He has 19 years of experience and was the assistant director of strength and conditioning at North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.

You want me to provide evidence that you can’t offer yourself? Can you provide any shred of evidence that no one has offered him?

Lastly you asked would I bring back Randy Shannon as a DC if he was an option? Yes, only a fool would turn down a Broyles award winning coordinator with these stats

2001 – 6th
2002 – 7th
2003 – 2nd
2004 – 28th
2005 – 4th
2006 – 7th

The Gators players and coaches call him the “Guru” for his X’s and O’s ability and having a freakish ability to read a play before it even happens. People like to point to the Ohio State Championship games. People bring that up over and over. Do you realize that UM only gave up 260 yards total. 50 yards came from over time. Miami turned the ball over 5 times that game

The 2003 31-7 game we lost...Virginia Tech only finished with 219 total yards the entire game

The 2006 31-7 Louisville we lost...Louisville only finished with 389 yards

The 2004 41-38 Louisville victory...we gave up 500 yards total

The 2004 45-31 victory against NC State the defense gave up 440

It funny to think we actually thought giving up those numbers was the end of the world. Teams put those up in a half against us the last 5 years.

 

[MIATL]

I've never known enough about what Swasey does to really believe, without question, that he should be let go.

But I do think the S&C coach helps set the culture for the program, and I'm not sure if Swasey is setting the ruthless/crazy/savage culture that I'm in favor of.

Assuming Swasey has had chances to leave, and has chosen to stay, that may speak to his current "hunger" level. So why not bring in a guy who wants to move up in that world, and will look at being here as his chance to make a name for himself?? We can keep Swasey, too ... And maybe the new guy sparks Swasey to step up his "intensity".

Based on our combine results, Swasey clearly knows what he is doing. People arguing we're doing some outdated program are reaching, IMO. But the intensity of the off-season program may need some tweaking.

IMO, that's the gripe against Swasey ... It's questionable if he has instituted the mental toughness required for the football program to compete at the highest level.

 

[WhatTheHell]

I get it now, City is one of those dumb black dudes in "support every other black dude" mode.

 

[JefeGringo]

If Andreu Swasey was white cityboy would not be in this thread.

 

[Gatorhater]

Richt can fire him in a second. Who budget get hit for Swasey's salary? I don't know if dude sucks or not, but keeping anyone involved in the last three staffs is dangerous. If Art can get canned, Swasey surely can.

 

[KANE]

Ok, City does bring up some good points, with some facts to back his arguments up. Except for the NFL or Major College jobs that he's turned down. My take is that Swasey has probably grown comfortable, in his gig. Comfortable is not good in his line of work. Even if he's not as bad at his job as some of us think he is, wouldn't it make sense for Richt to bring in his own guy. Bring in some new fire! I mean, If I get fired, I'm gonna get fired for something I did. I'm going down for my mistake, not Larry Coker's mistake. To survive as long as he has, He's either really good at his job, or he has the right people backing him. But, Swasey's the only link to 3 failed coaching regimes. Well, he and Sebastian. We ain't getting rid of the bird. lol!

 

[skyman]

Swasey getting offered other gigs is complete lie and is easy to prove. Whoever offered him a gig would offer more money, I am sure with our previous pay structure that number would be easy to beat. Any time someone of value gets a better offer, you turn around and make sure you get your current market value from your current employer, that is the way the game is played. (look at bama SC coach just this offseason). Even if Swasey was "loyal to a fault" it makes good business sense to put this out and get the raise. I never heard once of that. GET HIM OUT OF MY FACE!

 

[Dirty Sprite]

How is it Swaseys fault a S&C coach for the entire athletic department that the last two football coaching staffs were woat?

 

[CaneSince4Ever]

So is it really the Strength and Conditioning or is it the coaching and scheme.

Exactly.

S&Cing can't do anything about LBs covering slots.

S&Cing can't do anything about Curtis Porter covering a scat-back.

S&Cing can't do anything about nobody covering the pitch against FSU.

S&Cing can't do anything about Perryman being 7 yds. off the ball against a GT team where you have to stop the FB first.

S&Cing can't do anything about never adjusting to stop Abdullah.

A lot of dolts in this thread.

 

[KANE]

Not saying it's his fault. Not his fault that Al and Co. were complete dumbasses! He gets marching orders from the head coach. But usually when there is a shakeup at the top, the vibrations go all the way to the bottom. In this business, when the guy you're working for gets sh1tcanned, it's probably a good bet that you're out as well. No new coach wants to think that they can be undermined by staff. The new guy wants people he feels like he can trust.

Think about it this way. What better job is their than Miami? What program will give you the opportunity to work with the athletes we put in the NFL. I would not call that being comfortable because there are not many jobs that is better than Miami.

Mark simply can't fire Swasey. He is the Head Athletic Strength and Conditioning coach for all sport at the University of Miami. The other coaches love Swasey and a very great argument would need to be had to remove him, including getting other coaches to agree.

A good coach changes everything. You see proof of that with the basketball team.
