I appreciate your perspective here.Welp considering I spent a good amount of time with swase what I'll say is most of us HE was responsible for developing a good chunk of our work ethic. Not many of us were ELITE before we got with butch and staff and I thank God every day for the role they each played in developing us as men and the the work ethic necessary to succeed in life. Our things is once it was introduced to us we ate it up like hungry wolves. We couldn't get enough. Because as a whole we were held accountable. Not only by our coaches but FAR more importantly we were held accountable by each other. That's the biggest difference we need to see before we really turn that corner and expect success. When we start DEMANDING it out of each other. I do understand the point with Hartline and he's definitely been gave the best of the best. But it'll be interesting to see within two years tops (as he's been interviewing for hc spots) what he does when he can't simply hide behind the osu brand. Personally I wouldn't be shocked to see him become a stud on his own but we'll have to see how he delegates.
I interned at UM several years after you were there and while I have criticized his programming, Swasey was a gentleman when I met him and yes, getting guys to buy into a program is an oft-overlooked aspect of S&C that I think he excelled at, given the amount of players who continued to come back to train with him.
Edit: I recall seeing Antrel Rolle's Lambo out front of the Hecht when I was there, apparently he had come back to work out with Swasey during the offseason lol
