Gayle Hatch System. Functional strength to produce explosive athletes.
Bring in someone competent.
In a 2005 study (Tricoli), it was determined that Olympic weight lifting was more effective in increasing speed, squat jump performance and counter-movement performance than a vertical jump program. Similarly, in a 2004 study (Hoffman), it was determined that Olympic weight lifting improves vertical jump and 40 speed more than a power lifting program.
Coach Hatch proteges have gone on to coach strength and conditioning at Alabama, LSU, Florida State, Tennessee and more.

Swasey worked under Moffit, the second guy on that list when he was Miami's S&C coach.
I understand. Doesn't mean he's good at it or even employs much of it anymore.
Swasey came in as a speed and agility coach. his background is not in powerlifting. Nor is Goldens.
We need to get a more accomplished strength coach
The strength coach is implementing the program that the HC told him to run.
