Hired the industry leaders in sports science. But yeah, Cochran had a nice little gimmick.

The mistake with Cochran, as funny as his schtick can be, was keeping him around too long. The best NFL players are often no longer the guys who max out in the weight room but rather go for an all-around fitness regimen that involve things that better prevent injury. Cochran had too many players trying to max out and that may or may not have contributed to some of Bama's injury issues. Who knows but I guess we will see in the next few seasons.
