LSU's Championship Constancy: The Moffitt Factor

Apart from one obvious dynasty, LSU's cfb national title haul over the past 25 years (n=3; 2003 Saban, 2007 Miles, 2019 Orgeron) is matched only by Ohio State. Full respect to the Tigers.
An unbreakable link across those Tiger teams? Tommy Moffitt, whose strength-and-conditioning wizardry helped to forge three LSU juggernaut teams.
Now, Moffitt is a (not-so) secret weapon at Texas A&M. With four games remaining, could his championship-tested/LSU-proven blueprint push the Aggies towards an SEC Championship … or am I simply wish-casting Baton Rouge magic out of sheer desperation?
Either way: Keep that man in College Station at all costs.

Have heard previous Tiger players make the same point.

He's a good one.

Moffitt’s best job was before the 2011 season. Got our LB’s slimmed down but kept their strength. They were flying sideline to sideline. The Oregon game was the opener that year and you had Barkevious Mingo chasing down LaMichael James in the backfield. Those guys were in insane shape.

I’m sure.
I don’t have the data to back up this statement ….
But it feels like we’ve had fewer season-ending injuries to pivotal players.
Not sure the Le'Veon Moss ankle injury can be attributed to S&C, rather than to rotten luck (I’m certainly no expert).

One of the first things I heard this week from Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn (who do a morning radio show in BR) was about firing Moffitt was a mistake, pictures of the poor guy was carrying carboard box from his office into the rain. The sentiment was there at the time as well.

I just looked up LSU’s current S&C guy, Jake Flint.
Website lists him as “a longtime member of Brian Kelly’s staff at Notre Dame and Cincinnati.”
It’s therefore zero surprise BK let go of Moffitt.
I assume Flint will move on to another program … or back towards his stomping ground in the Midwest/Michigan.
