Some of those Pruitt defenses were tough as frick.


Toughest of the Saban era but gets overshadowed by the Kirby defenses.

There ain’t nothing we can at this point in the season but mother of God, I hope and pray we can get a massive upgrade at O line coaching spot when the season is over.

Chris Kapilovic is right there with “Bucket Step Bob Connelly” and Doug Marrone. Maybe worse than those two guys.

I’d make a run at Utah’s O line coach. He’s got two projected first rounders on this years team.

So basically we're Drago in Rocky IV when we need to go back and be Rocky again.

Good example - Ronnie Coleman (Mr. Olympia for a decade) lifted in a garage gym in Texas with no air conditioning. The weights and machines were old... the kinda old that everything feels ten pounds heavier than it is. He forged a beast in that hell hole. It was primal. It was tough.


And now Ronnie Coleman can barely walk and has had a long series of surgeries. Understand that mine is a hyperbolic comparison, but the new staff is trying to avoid injuries that come from training of that nature.

Now we can talk philosophically about the price of greatness vs. caring about long term health; but it would be great to somehow recapture that cold intensity while modernizing the training plan. Seems like the current S&C staff is great at their mission as defined, but maybe that mission is a little too clinical in nature right now.

Cochran is a unique personality, maybe it takes someone on staff outside of S&C to step into that role.

I hated that sports science crap. We went from machines on the field to some nerd with a clipboard saying….

“Ummmm, player a’s 25 yard sprint speed has gone from 1.8789 to 1.8433, yippee!!!”
