He will be moving us from HIIT to Olympic lifts.

That alone will help. The more videos I watched, and stories I found about him, the more excited I got.

I would’ve preferred Hester, but not if he doesn’t wanna be here. Your S&C coach has to be all in. Spends more time w kids than any other staff member, including HC.

By no means am I defending Felder but I. Just wanted to add on that if you think we strictly were just implementing HIIT with the guys and not doing olympic lifts you probably are mistaken. Every college program Implements Olympic Lifts in their Strength and Conditioning program. HIIT is first of all designed to burn body fat first. The ambiguity with HIIT that it is taxing on the body physically and if we do a bunch of exercises with 20 sec breaks in between calling it HIIT we'd have those cases where a player passes away during workouts. To think felder didn't do olympic lifts is just bogus. Everyone forgets the video of Quez hitting a power clean PR. Strength Coaches get the axe but aren't in control of what our coaches do X and O's wise to win the game.

I never said Felder never used Olympic lifts.

UCLA is an example of a program who aren't olympic lifting. I'm sure they are the minority but not the only ones. Here's an interview with their director of football performance:



I agree that S&C coaches can get too much scrutiny when there are so many factors that go into winning games.

From the few videos/interviews I watched of Feeley, it looks like he uses olympic lifts and runs a program similar to the majority of others throughout the country. Unfortunately he's testing the players with 110's and, from a 2012 video, looks to be a fan of doing drills in the sand.

Jesus Christ, you guys let the dumbest factors control your enthusiasm.

"OMG he was at Temple and Ball State, he sucks!"

You don't even know what the guy does. Just because certain guys are at lower tier programs doesn't mean that they're not good coaches. The elite programs don't have a monopoly on good coaches. (they have a monopoly on talent maybe)

Find Temple's strength numbers and MAYBE you'll have a valid reason to form a logical reaction. Until then your enthusiasm or lack thereof) is based on bull****. Him being at lower tier programs means nothing. I'm sure Cochran and Moffit didn't start at the top. This is Feely's big shot. Fvckin' Gus was at Georgia before he came here and he sucked.

Strength numbers won’t tell you the whole story either. Power > strength.

You're absolutely right.

But at least if we had a chart of a Temple kid's freshman power-clean numbers versus his sophomore power-clean numbers then we'd at least have something tangible to ***** or get excited about.

What he said.

9 pages and only a few posts with any kind of substantial information in them. The rest, a bunch of guys with opinions on something they know nothing about but want to act like they're experts on. My advice to those, just don't log in for a while and find something that upsets you less.

I almost forgot, but congrats to the guy. He has a chance at bigger things here and hopefully he kills it.
 
The same things could have been said about Diaz when he was hired, and he turned out fine. Matter of fact, I would venture to say that Diaz had a worse resume. He actually failed at stops.

You could not expect Manny to save this class as he was the head coach at Temple. Now going forward Manny needs to start killing it.
 
This guy might not be a good coach or he could kill it. We've got some really good signs per his past 2 head coaches loving him. Hope for the best.

Most importantly I hope the sight of this guy strikes fear in the players.
