OSU looks soft, they just gave up a 3rd and short to a shitty MSU team, then a TD. They should fire their S&C staff. If it were my team I'd ave them screaming lyrics to songs to make them better.

We gave up 36 at home to MSU. OSU gave up 16 on the road. I don't get how even on a bad game for OSU, this makes sense.

PER 247---evan spoke w/ source inside the gug that indicated Longo and staff have CHANGED their off-season approach...it is now focused on explosive strength. More sleds, pushes, pulls, etc.

THIS DOESN'T MEAN THERE WON'T BE STAFF CHANGES TO S/C

Found some pics of the sleds that they'll be using. Sources have told me that they'll be integral into getting the team to peak physical performance.

To add onto this...

If you are wondering what they had been doing S&C, they had been focusing on heavy squats and heavy bench for strength. Conditioning was long distance running.

There will still be heavy lifts, but there will be a larger focus on what panda said above.

I find it interesting that BK appointed Jeff Quinn as assistant S&C coach.

So its not just Longo who is his buddy, but also Jeff Quinn. You would have thought that to fairly evaluate the S&C program from the inside, it would have been better to hire an outsider. Instead, BK just hired another one of his guys.

BK is going to sink or swim with his guys.

On sports-talk here in Nashville, they were talking about the Vols hiring the S&C coach from the Rams after the NFL season. They talked with an Alabama sports reporter that states (paraphrasing here) - Saban has said numerous times Scott Cochran is a vital and most important coach on the team.

The bold pretty much is all I need to know. If that is what Longo was using as a conditioning tool, he absolutely without a doubt needs to pack is suitcase. Absolutely incredible that he is that incompetent and the head of physical preparation, specifically football at Notre Dame. That's crappy high school stuff.

Why can't we have a guy like this??

I don't know why it would be so hard to find someone like Cochran. Hell, there are Cross-fit instructors that could probably do better than Longo.

Not that. The s/c coach gets the bulk of the time with players so it's pretty advantageous to have a previous head coach assisting

I know Kelly won't fire his best friend but come on man! Like it's not working have some balls. Sometimes you need to not mix friendship and work and he does this way to much.

Are their honestly going to be any offseason changes?

Dear lord man, I hope this dope isn't really distance running his athletes. Get on the horn with Buddy Morris and learn some damn Charlie Francis High-low vertical integration and use tempo runs. I have a hard time believing Longo is straight up incompetent and has no idea of how to Periodize a training program. There's no need to abandon heavy bench and squats, just put them in the proper place in the training cycle.

Don't feel bad for Longo if he does get fired; because I'm sure he'll be able to land a job as a trainer on the Biggest Loser.

Interesting comment from Tyler Newsome here prompted by Swarbrick (comes at the 6:55 mark for those who don't want to click away).

Krenzel was referring to the comment by Newsome right after that in which they were talking about the new strength and conditioning workouts

No. Tyler's comment starting at 6:55, not Austin's exactly at 6:55. Regarding the workouts.
