I down voted you because you are an open Christian.
Edit: And myself, for the same reason.

I love this.
I always complained about Cochran blowing up our players and partly blamed his program for the consistent injury environment which developed.
Now hopefully the ligament injuries will reduce drastically and we won't turn speed rushers and mobile DEs into DT and NG.

Too many injuries occurred...glad we made the change

I still believe they put too much weight on Christian Miller and it caused him to stay injured. He didn’t have a large frame and we just kept piling weight on him

Oh wow never thought about that...maybe guys like Lebryan Ray will be slimmer.

Slimmer AND faster.

The whole thing about "being able to take *full* advantage of the new facility" makes me think that something has been in the works here for a little while in regards to staff changes.
I'm stoked though. Pretty sure we are coming out on top.

It's pronably due to Cochran being very old school and either not understanding or using the new technology available which documents players individually attempting to maximize growth while managing fatigue.
With the guys we've hired they seem to be all about this and that is tremendous for us.
The constant injuries in my opinion were strongly due to fatigue. Not all, but so many ligament tears usually point in that directions.
In my opinion our kids were getting worked hard (to the bone) and not smart. I also question what kind of recovery methods Cochran used. In the league recovery is taken much more seriously than College.

I imagine a guy like Najee is pretty happy he came back. If Dr. Rhea can improve his speed even a little, his draft grade should greatly improve.

This could be huge for Najee (and Brian Robinson who looks to run about a 5.7 forty currently.)
Posted on 3/3/20 at 3:01 pm to Sl0thstronautEsq
Honestly if Najee wants to improve his speed he should sprint slanted hills (at least 25 yards) no less than four times a week in the offseason for his acceleration.

Hmm idk about that...as a 49ers fan running up those slanted hills seemed to mess a lot of the players legs in previous years.

Where are the guys that were saying the strength and conditioning coach has zero to do with injury prevention? There were quite a few of you during the season. I thought that stance was so laughable I didn’t even respond to it. Seems as if everyone is now on board with admitting that if there is anyone on staff in charge of preventing initial injuries it’s the s&c coach. I could dig up all of the posts, but I don’t have time for that.

I don't recall anyone saying that. I, like many, said that most injuries are simply bad luck, i.e. broken bones, weird hits on joints, strange tackles where people are twisted, etc. However, taken on the whole, I think most would agree that an athlete can prepare such that his/her body is most ready to avoid injury, although injuries will always be possible.
I do believe that many people said that the injuries could not be blamed on Cochran, which I still believe is the correct statement. It does seem that there are philosophies that emphasize minimizing injuries, and Cochran's system didn't seem to have that tenet as a focus.

I've done speed/acceleration training on hills. I soeak from experience. It works.

Yeah I was going to bring that up but people on here sre very sensitive when you tell them "I told you so".
Ironically they love to have terrible takes and shitty opinions.
Too bad they never own up to any of them.

I tend to agree with that assessment.... Just heard that Cochran took a pay cut to go to Georgia. There is no doubt that Saban was planning this move for a long time and Cochran was nudged out the door.

Scott Cochran took a pay cut to leave Alabama for an SEC rival.
Cochran, who left Alabama to become special teams coordinator at Georgia, will make $550,000 next year, according to an AL.com public records request. He made $595,000 last year at Alabama.
Cochran’s base salary will be $325,000 and his supplementary income is $225,000. While less than what he made at Alabama, it is a significant uptick in salary from what Georgia paid its last special teams coordinator, Scott Fountain, who made $330,050 in 2019, according to USA Today’s salary database. This is Cochran’s first on-field coaching job after a career spent working in the strength and conditioning world.
