Do you realize how many devastating injuries we were having back to the 2017 season? We are blessed to get this sports science building in place and have two guys that know their way around the cutting edge of training and nutrition.

It has already made a world of difference with the kind of injuries we were experiencing. Cochran knew BAMA wanted a different approach and it was coming one way or the other.

this is what people not in the S&C industry or not bama fans dont realize. Scott had developed quite a reputation for destroying shoulders and his players having devastating injuries.

Alot of it was the approach of scott, he pushed and pushed hard, just not always smart. It worked for years and Im sure most level headed Bama fans are thankful for his service...but it was time for both parties to move on.

Bama absoletely has a better S&C coach and entire department now. and I say that as an LSU fan.

I still think Moffit, especially with the way he has kept up with the times, is the best. But he is still too old school imo with some things, including the dumbass conditioning test, something that saban loved and implemented. But even Saban has changed on that now.

Dr Matt Rhea is someone that has been and still is at the cutting edge and is an amazing coach. Proof is in the pudding, while everyone else last year saw a huge uptick in soft tissue issues.....BAMA saw a 50% reduction from previous years when Scott was running the show.

TLDR: BAMA upgraded
