Strength and Conditioning Staff Retained?

[ghostoftazzles]

Thoughts? I have heard conflicting feedback. Our guys were consistently decimated by non-contact injuries, and with our lack of depth you can't have that.

Ultimately the new coach will have final say.

 

[jdoggivjc]

At least until the new guy decides whether he wants to replace them or not.

 

[CycloneErik]

All I know is that any current S/C staff is outstanding until they are replaced. Then we commence with the badmouthing of their methods and ideas.

So, they're probably the best in the nation today.

I actually feel like we've been pretty healthy this year.

 

[cyclone87]

Honestly the offensive line has been alright this year, good run game and decent QB protection.

I'm sure the new HC will hire his own head strength coach who will then select his own S/C staff. Rhoads did not retain Matt McGettigan, who wanted to stay on after Mac was fired.

It was actually Chizik who didn't retain McGettigan.

Id prefer to start fresh everywhere.

I think you missed a head coach in there somewhere

As long as the treadmills leave.

Did McKnight pack them on his flight to Houston? Did the plane take off from the treadmill?

 

[cydsho]

No. Not saying anything was bad but heard things weren't well organized. Start fresh.

Thanks - my error. And if we hire Troy Calhoun of Air Force, we'd get Getty back!

** Treadmills----emphasis of last strength coach....and produced no meaningful W/L improvement. Actually reversed
~ Why let a transitional person (a strength coach) have so much influence on design and equipment of a multi-million dollar facility?
~ Ditto for a head coach like Rhoads. See above.

** Weight facility. The "Lunch Pail" mantra and design omitted a player's lounge. This hard hat approach produced 8 wins in THREE YEARS
~ Build a frickin LOUNGE. Players love amenities. Builds camaraderie, bonding... Every other rival has one

Agree on the treadmills comment. I will say McKnight to his credit did a heck of a job designing that facility however was not aware there's no lounge area. Whether we like it or not, that is a recruiting tool.

The run game has been far better than I thought it would be. The pass protection has been awful. We have probably allowed the most sacks in the conference.

 

[cyclonedave25]

How much they be bench pressing these days yo?

Some of that has been on the QB though (esp when Richardson was back there)

 

[NetflixAndClone]

Yeah I remember them selling that we have the most advance weight machines in the country, do we still have those? Doesn't seem like much changed.

We do. Each was custom built for Iowa State. Regardless of how advanced they are, the machines don't do the work.
