We are slow, Longo must go?

I'm too drunk to go in depth on this, but I've been skeptical of his work for years.

However, I'm not too drunk to see that we're less athletic than a team that thrives on 1/2 star players, and this is not uncommon, unfortunately.

So you're saying we recruit slow players? Because that's definitely not true. I can see no way to say Longo has been impressive.

And calling me a dumb-***? Really? Lol. I'd neg rep you, but I don't really care about reps.

If you're gonna blame anyone, blame Kelly for recruiting "slow" players. All strength and conditioning coaches due is make sure you are in good physical shape. Players don't get magically faster or slower depending on your S and C Coach.

Don't drive home tonight dude.

Wait, isn't Longo the S and C coach? I didn't think we had an athleticism coach, I thought either you had it or you didn't. Kinda like Golson has it, and Rees doesn't. Or is that the problem, Longo didn't turn Rees in Golson?

*this is not a knock on our QB, as he isn't the problem. Just the example I used.

EDIT: Philly, I type slow

Lol, quit playing the 'you're drunk' card on me. Just because I am drunk does not mean I'm wrong.

We, on average, start 4-star players. Teams like Purdue start ~2 star players, and they look like better athletes. That has nothing to do with the S/C coach/program? You're saying a S/C coach that gets paid ~100k per year is not responsible for maximizing the player's athleticism?

If that were true, no one would have a S/C coach.

I thought we all loved Longo because he bulks up our players, everyone always says 'wait till Longo gets ahold of him' in reference to someone needing to bulk up. I don't think I've ever seen it used in reference to Longo making someone more athletic.

Lol, battle of semantics?

"Strength and Conditioning coaches have two primary goals. The first is to improve athletic performance, which usually means improving athletes’ speed, strength, and power..."



Strength and conditioning coach-- helping others to improve their fitness

...or making them faster. That's kind of what god gave ya...not what longo gives ya. Can anyone make Grace faster? Don't think so. Longo should be able to help our 4 star O-Linemen blow people off the ball and that ain't happening.

I see. I see. But I still think its an effort issue like NDinMich pointed out. I say **** it and put in the youth. They may have more fight in them.

I'm just saying, IDK how you can look at Longo's 4 (5?) years here and be satisfied. Sure, there's individuals who are athletic, but as a team? Not impressed.

I thought threads like these were born after a loss, not in the middle of a possible one.

I am really confused as to why some of you think s and c coaches can't increase speed. That is absolutely part of their job. Look up Joe Defranco. He gets paid a lot of money to make athletes both faster and stronger. You seriously think speed is something you cannot improve?

Can you at least point to what you're referring to and make an argument against the opinion you apparently disagree with?

Considering the insult, your post is incredibly ironic.
