Enlighten us. What specifically has Jimmy told you? I honestly would love to know. It would certainly help AS's rep on these boards.

I don't know why the Canes come back every year, but I do believe they had been doing so for many many years. By the way, who did Moffit train under? we have been soft for a long time, so I am good with the extra help. Bama has about 100 strength coaches I think.

Moffit learned under Gayle Hatch. Cochran they guy at Bama apprenticed at LSU under Moffit. Vic Valoria at FSU learned from Moffit. See the trend..

Mopes, mopes, and more mopes. It's amazing how many people have added this to their vocabulary around here.
Someone mentioned players coming back to train here in the off season, is this still true? I haven't heard of anyone saying that in half a decade or so. Regardless, a lot of those players who did come back were from the area and had homes here. Toss in SB, it was a no brainer.

We have been physically manhandled, player for player, no matter who we play, for 10 years straight without exception.
Watch the WF game last year, with what even the announcers were calling the smallest, most pathetic D line in football, giving up an average of 70lbs per man to our OL. Not much S&C evident for us there.
THAT alone gives a lot of creedence to those who criticize our S&C program.

Remember when Golden got here and they evaluated how many times the guys could bench press 225 lbs.? They looked at the number of players that could rep 225 10x's, 20x's, 30x's, and 40x's…something like that. They had goals for how many players should be at 10, 20, 30, etc...It was shocking the lack of overall strength--even more so when they compared the number the following year after instituting Utough.
Anyone have a link to a thread or article? Couldn't find one.

Found it: http://miamiherald.typepad.com/umiami/2012/05/canes-are-seeing-results-in-the-weight-room-closing-in-on-4010-goal.html
If there was ever an indictment of an S&C coach regarding his acumen on strength training (not speed and agility) this is it:
According to Swasey, UM currently has 36 players who are bench pressing 225 pounds (the NFL combine testing standard) 20 times and seven more who are doing it 30 times. A year ago, Swasey said, he only had 11 players on the entire roster who could produce 20 reps of 225 pounds. The goal, Swasey said, is for the team to eventually have 40 players who can do 20 reps of 225 and 10 who can achieve 30 reps by the time fall practice begins.
That's why players were wearing new U Tough t-shirts Monday with the numbers 40/10 across the front of it.
"All of us are shocked how strong we've gotten," said senior Ben Jones, one of the seven to achieve 30 reps. "Everybody is buying into the program now and believing in what coach is saying and are ready to just go for it. I wouldn't say it wasn't happening before. But it's just a new energy around here."
"From 11 players to 36 players benching 225 lbs 20 times."

Think the HC might have something to do with what is emphasized in the S&C program? Or did Swasey not know what a bench press was before Al got here?

There's a reason it's the only weight lifting exercise done at the combine. I'll put it to you another way…what if we only had 5 players on the team that could run faster than a 4.6 40 (hand-timed)? There would be rioting in the streets on Canestime and the WEZ.
Then, what if within one year, not through recruiting new guys but through training, we had 16 guys that could run a 4.6 or faster. Everyone would be asking what the **** was going on prior to that year after the dramatic improvement. This is perfectly analogous to the lack of the strength we had prior to Golden's arrival.
I don't care what the head coach is telling you to do, those were very embarrassing numbers.
