“They’re very open about their philosophy, you know, involving science and things like that,” Jones said during a Friday Zoom teleconference. “But everything they do in the weight room translates to the field, and every single lift we do, there’s a reason we’re doing it, and they make it very clear why we’re doing that lift.”

quote:

“And I feel like that just boosts morale and we don’t feel like we’re just going through the motions, we’re getting better every day,” Jones said. “There’s science to prove it. They’ve done a great job leading us, and you know, we love those guys already. “So, I think everybody on the team would say they feel much better about how the strength and conditioning has evolved if you would say.”

Saturday Down South

Doesn’t sound like they miss Cochran very much.

Cochran did a great job but I think like with a lot of things in life it was time to shake things up after a decade of the same thing.

Probably a win for both parties. We'll see.

Sometimes it just gets stale and it’s time to part ways. Cochran did an amazing job for a long time. But everyone involved was ready for a new direction and new challenges.

Will this douche jump up and down on the sidelines like Cochran?

No. He will just lift weights on the sideline and yell.

I dont expect anyone to say anything bad about the new guys.

Does that ever happen at any school ever?

I agree that both Bama and Cochran needed to part ways.

It was best for both. I'm grateful for the time he put in here. But he wanted a different position and couldnt get it here so he moved on. No hard feelings or ill will towards him.

No need to downplay what really happened.

Kirby saw something he wanted - so he took it.

You mean to tell me that players are speaking highly of the new coaches instead of the former coaches. That's amazing. That almost never happens

Their strength and Conditioning was never an issue with Bama players. Anyone who throws Cochran under the bus is just looking for an alibi.

Let's just wait and see if we can tell a difference on the field this fall.

There are about 8 years worth of threads on players getting too big and slow for their positions and/or a lack of injury prevention.

Cochran was truly a good guy and valued asset to the program, but more so from a resiliency standpoint. He kept players heads in the game and staying at Bama. But, his strength program focused on building monsters... no matter how slow those monsters became.

The new guys maximize human potential in relation to desired skillsets and positions. It is a whole new ball game. Very excited to see it materialize

Injuries is an issue everywhere. When you get too big, the chances of injuries increase. But Bama used that size to a big advantage during the SC years. They faced problems when they played a HUNH teams, but there were very few of those during that time. Again, S&C wasn't the an issue, the games they lost were from the sidelines.

We've played tons of HUNH teams the last 4-5 years.
