This is the one person I can not wait to see go. I think he has been the one to under develope our players. I also know he does alot of olympic style lifting for his core training. We really messed up when we let mickey marotti leave to florida. His style of training is far superior than our fat boys.

FINALLY!!! I am seeing other people say what I have been saying for a few years now. NDinL.A. can attest to my disdain for Coach Mendoza. I thought his guy should have been gone with Latina. They could have shared a UHaul and saved some cash.
To me, we have looked weak for a long, long time now. I am sick of hearing the stories of our fullback (Schwapp) or a freshman punter out benching our Olinemen. That isn't right. Sam Young has been hindered by poor coaching from Latina and poor strength training by Mendoza. At 6'8" and 320+ pounds, he should be pushing guys all over the place. Technique and fundamentals aside, if a guy that big gets his hands on you, he should move you as far as he wants.
All of our guys look weaker than other teams to me. The goal line series against Navy is one where we showed how weak we were. That is on Mendoza. He needs to go.
