Yeah because swinging kettle bells would equate to athletic success on the football field.

Im pretty sure Emerson said that UGA is looking to hire from outside rather than promoting from within.

Why not Hershel Walker?

Mostly bc HW isn't a strength trainer and he mainly uses plyometrics in his workouts.

If you hire Herschel you may have to pay him three times. Hey there's an idea. Let's hire 3 and whoever does the best job gets the "head" for the next week. Just like the players. Better yet someone post the picture of our cheerleader from last year. If she can do that to that little frame imagine what she can do to a mans body. And yes I recognize the double meaning.

This guy seems to think they equate, Link
Every NFL team uses them, and so do most college teams. Dedicate 90 days to using them and you will see why.

The best football lift for explosiveness hands down is the power clean.
I understand and support the supplementation of kettle bell swings into the overall S&C program but many of these kettle bell gurus are a little too kettle bell centric. You still have to do cleans, squats, deadlifts. You still need to have a good plyometric program as well for explosiveness and quick feet. Kettle bells are not the be all end all that some are making them out to be. We are training football players not SEAL Teams or those cheap imitators, the Spetznaz.

I agree that it takes more than Kettlebells to make a football player reach his physical potential. That being said, Kettlebells exercises are essentially one-armed Olympic lifts, the negetive being you can't use enough weight to maximize your strength, the positives are that you develop stabilization muscles that enhance injury prevention (also because of emphasis on flexibility), increase your speed and develop hand/forearm strength better than any excercise that's not devoted solely to that persuit.
We all know that strength+speed=Power/Explosiveness, so the proper mixture of Kettlebells, barbell Olympic lifts, power lifts, and conditioning will create the kind of athlete we need to perform at a championship level.
S&C is a hobby of mine, lived two years at the Paul Anderson youth home (where lifting is as important as school and church) and I've read almost everything I can I find on the subject. I like to think I know a little something about it.
But I hope whoever we get has forgotten more than I'll ever know on the subject. Go Dawgs!!

In total agreement.

I want kettle bells, dead lifts, steroids, and no drug tests... I want them snorting HGH off the asses of strippers. I want Adderol on the training table.

Sounds like a movie I saw once.....think it was called "The Wolf of Butts-Mehre" or something like that. Had DiCaprio in it.
