Our previous SC Coach Fingers came from Maryland on the recommendation of Torrey Smith. Current SC Coach came from LSU. I assume they still trade(d) ideas with folks from their old gigs.

STC, lol it aint the equipment in many cases. I have heard scouts say straight up that the SWAC even attracts a certain type of Transfer... Look at some our players on the field and you can see they just aren't as defined as some of the others. However, some of our athletes look like freaks of nature. I worked out with Jaymar Johnson for a good portion of Summer 06 and I can tell you that those were some of the hardest workouts ever.

Our Administrations think a lot of us are stupid and naive as to how to generate a winning Football Team. I'm telling you something about these Money Games is fishy and not right to me. The need for "better facilities" is just a front to cover up something deeper. All Bama did was make things more convient for their players to save actual energy for when they really need it for the real workout.
Example: Why walk 100 yards (length of a Football Field) to the Practice field in full pads for football practice when you can just walk 15-20 feet?
Another example: Alcorn got a paycheck from GT right? Is it really that expensive to film your players lifting weights and running at the Davey E Whitney Complex? Is it really that expensive to install a sound system?
The quality of strength and conditioning has never really changed. The P5 Schools just added an "awe factor". Me, you, and others have been trying to preach this for years on the board. Hopefully, others will open their eyes.

It cant be that hard to film weight sessions. Some of it is just pure ******** on folks part.
everyone has a phone that has the ability to shoot video, right? all an assistant or assistant has do is film the athletes during workouts sessions. that's not really an expense for the school. but how much difference that makes on the field is really unknown.
as far as money garnered from money games is concerned, those dollars are also invested, or said to be invested, in other sports in addition to football.

Scott Cochran said it best in that video.....its still is all about hardwork. would it be nice to have a beautiful facility like Bama's? Heck yeah, but there are plenty of programs with great facilities and they still suck. For HBCUs its should be about using what you have and maximizing the efficiency and output to get results. The reason why Cochran is so successful at Bama is not because he is so great but because every kid in there knows that he has the 100% backing of the head coach. What that means is if Saban gets a report that someone is slacking in the weightroom then they won't be around long.

Yep. If I were a S & C coach, I would have these guys living in the weight room lol. The whole team. Especially the lineman. As someone said before, you can look at (some of) our guys and then look at their guys and it's night and day. Especially with the lineman. We might not have the strict meal plans and diets that they have but our weights are just like theirs.
