Notre Dame Hires Loren Landow as Director of Football Performance

[irishknight35]

1) I thought we looked like the playoff regular team with how shredded our guys looked.
2) Anyone concerned about the Texas heat clearly hadn't been in Indiana the last two weeks.

Those Texas boys can't handle corn sweat and it showed. Shamrock 'em.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

This is a single data point, that gets added to his first off-season prep. But the data points have looked very promising so far. We'll continue to revisit over this year and hopefully over many more years to come. I hope Landow is a longterm staple here because I truly believe in his mindset and approach and so far, it looks damn good.

Now imagine what he can do with guys over 2-4 years, where gains are compounded.

Can’t ever remember us having this many knee injuries with Balis

Yeah, you can’t strength and condition a knee joint.

 

[IAIrish]

First s&c coach who figures out how to prevent knee injuries will print his own money...

 

[notredomer23]

We are hurt. Landow must skrttt?

Im joking. I’d like to think it’s not Landow’s fault. But at the same time, wtf??

Players going down, Landow's a clown?

In all seriousness, I blame the turf. Seemed like a lot of non-contact injuries for both teams.

Turf monster is killing us all year

 

[MacIrish75]

Players out for the year
Landow’s a…very ineffective S&C guy

Grass > artificial grass

Grass > artificial grass

We lost Botelho, Craig and Schrauth to injury in the Purdue game...which was on grass.

 

[mrmcgrail]

Craig and schrauth had guys roll up on them and a strength and conditioning coach isn't going to stop non contact knee injuries

My comment isn’t ND specific.

 

[Crazy Balki]

Yep.

I get that these things happen, but holy crap, why does it have to happen to us and THIS MUCH!?

Seriously, we were kinda overdue for some good injury luck and instead, we get about as horrendous injury luck as you can muster.

 

[PANDFAN]

I cannot freaking even belive people are even considering it s&c....wtf.. everyone wants someone to blame but shit happens in a sport of hitting, running, diving, stopping and starting etc... people 300lbs+ down to 170lbs

 

[Katzenboyer]

Bump.

Whether fair or not, Landow's teams have been injury-plagued time and time again. It's a fair question to raise at this point.

 

[NDMatt91]

There might be a reason why Broncos fans were happy when he left.

 

[IrishTusker]

Broncos have had more injuries than the rest of the league over past 4 seasons

Since hiring Loren Landow, the Denver Broncos have had terrible "luck" with injuries. What should be done?

Unfortunately, this is on Freeman.

Report: Broncos Part Ways With Strength Coach Loren Landow

The Denver Broncos finally bit the bullet on Loren Landow's contract.

www.si.com

The season before Landow arrived, the Broncos ranked near the bottom in the NFL when it came to unique injuries that caused a player to miss a game. Under the previous strength and conditioning coach, Luke Richesson, the Broncos were one of the healthier NFL teams. The ensuing five years under Landow, however, saw one injury calamity after another befall the Broncos. Mile High Huddle's Erick Trickel did a case study on the Broncos' injury woes under Landow, and the results were heinous.

Either he sucks at his job or he is the unluckiest S&C coach on the planet.

 

[Irish5Saint]

How does a hip injury mean there’s a SC problem?

You morons suck at being coaches/ADs.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

LETS OVERREACT AND BURN THE MAN! WITCH!

 

[Giddyup]

I mean we’ve been well conditioned and performed fairly well from a strength point. But my gosh what is Landow feeding these guys? Brittle ligament pills? Need roids at this point

 

[Giddyup]

Landow has a track record. Was hoping it was just a string of bad luck with Denver. Guess not.

I think it's fair to have questions considering the amount of injuries this year and with what happened to the Broncos under Landow's watch. It's possible that he's just very, very unlucky. It's also possible that he's not all that great of a S&C coach.

List the injury types

 

[Giddyup]

Read the Denver beat writers report.

“The Broncos' comedy of injuries last season, alone, were enough to jeopardize Landow's job”

-this is the big leagues now. Results matter

 

[NDPhilly]

We were kinda due for a year of injuries. We haven’t had one in awhile it feels like.

 

[KyfightingIrish36]

Gotta cut ties at the end of the year and just admit this wasn’t a good choice. Maybe he’s great on a personal level but theirs been so many season enders year.

 

[SeekNDestroy]

I wanna know how Giddyup feels about Landow. He’s been very quiet so far.
