Hopefully we FINALLY get this right. Beyond sick of hearing this same type story every 5 years. Remember when Alfredo & Swayze were "geniuses" for implementing a "breakfast program"?

• Left guard KC McDermott explained why the offensive line will be better:

"You guys could see last year and obviously a lot of fans saw last year and made it well known that we did not look like a fit offensive line," McDermott said. "I can admit it, I was 320 pounds, was really bad, did not look good at all. Once coach Richt came in here and hired a nutritionist (Kyle Bellamy) we really realized how important it was to take care of our body. We all took a nutrition class during the spring, really understood what it really meant to take care of our bodies. And what we've done as an offensive line, we've looked out for each other - eat the right things, we've gone to the grocery store [Trader Joe's and Publix] together to make sure we're buying the right foods to eat, right snacks to eat during the day. It's improved - you can see in our body types. Our body fat has gone down, our muscle has gone up and that was the whole focus of the offseason was to make sure we maintain our weights but our body fat goes down and our muscular mass goes up."

Didn't Golden use to preach nutrition? Was he just completely bull****ting?
 
All Golden cared about was the weight going up. It was apparent that he didn't care about what kind of weight it was or our starting RB wouldn't have been closer to 20% body fat than he was 10%.

Golden preached bull****. You answered your question within your own statement.

Al Golden: We want to have the best nutritional program

Mind boggling

“If you’re not trying to be the best from a nutritional standpoint or from a strength and conditioning standpoint or from a preventative measure standpoint, then you’re behind.

Al paid for an ice cream truck after practices. Mark throws a cool million towards an IPF. End of story
 
This older video contains the bod pod Tony Musto was referencing. So UM went from what's in this video, then to Tony Musto, and then added a $3 million dollar trading table dinning haul and now finally a full time football nutritionist

In the first ten seconds the guy says "Coach Golden sets the (weight) goals." Rather than let a professional do his job, Golden set the standards for each player. So on top of running everything else a head coach is supposed to be in charge of, the HC was in all likelihood setting the actual desired weight for some 85+ players on his team.

What the players say speaks volumes. Old staff it was, "Coach wants me at 215-220." New staff is, "I'm down to 11% body fat." Richt doesn't seem to care about total weight in a vacuum like Golden did. He wants performance strength, body fat %. It's astonishing that Golden had specific weight goals for each player, which tells you nothing about how well that player performs at the weight -- or even how strong they really are.

Yeah, ready to put this topic to bed.
 
The man with the plan behind UM's Players eating right.

AG really tried to sell the idea that he knew what he was doing and knew how to implement it. Unfortunately for us the only thing that AG turned out to be good at was being horrible. He was a shiesty, insecure, inept, used car salesman that masqueraded himself as a head coach.

Why u gotta insult used car salesmen like that?

Just one small point to consider, Richt knows he has some soft fat kids. Upping muscle mass and dropping body fat is goal number one, and should be easy to do from his starting point. I think we will see weight goals as time goes by over the next few years.

How is it possible to say all the right things, yet be unable to do any of them? I could see it if the guy didn't understand, but **** every time he opened his mouth he said something that made sense. Then he totally didn't do that **** he talked about.
 
Not to defend Folden, but I wonder if the difference in outcomes was a budget issue. After watching video of both nutrition guys, the big difference I notice between the two, is time spent with athletes. Musto was there a couple times per year and in "need" situations, whereas Bellamy is there 24/7. It sounds like Folden might have had the right idea, but Admin wouldn't commit all the way due to cost. Its been reported that when Richt came, he had certain "reqirements" for UM to step up to the plate(no pun intended) and meet. Wouldn't surprise me if a full commitment to a full time nutrition program was one of them.
 
A quick, simple glance at Golden and even D'Onofrio, would prove conclusively, Golden knew diddly squat about proper nutrition.
