Alex, just passing on info as well. Honestly it's not even really the main point of my hatred towards Swasey. We've recruited players who don't work hard in the weightroom under Shannon, because Randy didn't give a **** about that.
It shows.
But people always use the NFLers do defend Swasey and that's garbage. The mark of a good S&C coach isn't taking freak athletes and working them out, it's taking the whole team and making them better. Since our talent level has slipped a little bit we have seen guys who just aren't as strong and conditioned on the field.
I feel Golden has a grasp on this though and he is basically keeping Swasey around because of his connections.
I think the conditioning is there this year. In addition, injuries have been low, compared to last year. However, it's somewhat disappointing that Golden had to come in and light a fire under Swasey to get him to do this.
