Hello: Shannon Turley (New strength coach)

Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on

YES!!!!

 

#Michigan commit Erik Swenson told @JoshNewkirk7 Harbaugh will bring Stanford's S&C coach to AA. I've confirmed Shannon Turley is the man.

Here is Turley's Stanford bio.

And for those who don't like the endowed positions (the J. Ira thing), Turley's job title at Stanford was the "Kissick Family Director of Football Sports Performance"

Lest we forget a few years ago someone named their OC position the "Andrew Luck Director of Offense"

I love these quotes about incoming freshmen and how they don't go in the weight room the first three weeks.

"Somebody is going to break; it’s inevitable.”

"The stress of having to compete when they’re already fatigued is almost emotionally traumatic."

Winter conditioning should be fun.

Coach Harbaugh is obviously  the man most associated with Stanford's rise from doormat to powerhouse, but Coach Turley was absolutely instrumental in that process. As a program, Stanford's player-games lost to injury pre/post-Turley was unbelievable. This is a huge win for Michigan that will fly under the radar for casual fans.

Side note, Stanford considers Lance Anderson to be the program's ace recruiter. He also did a very nice job as DC this year; Stanford's offensive futility sort of masked a defense that was one of the very best in the country.

Great addition. This guys known for his tough players. Toughness has been our biggest downfall in my opinion. It's time to turn things around and get physical.

You're new here. Two things 1) saw Webb is highly respected and only reports what he has heard - he doesn't make up what he's saying and 2) he only confirmed Turley is the man, which he is, and not that's he's coming. Although most signs point to he is.
