Wake me up when the article is about all the teams with a head coaching vacancy looking to hire away our offensive coordinator because of the masterful job he is turning in. Or they are trying to steal our OL coach because of the amazing renaissance the OLine experienced.

You only have a few more days before Spring Ball starts. Get all your negativity out this week so you can enjoy the ride. This team is going to be too much fun to waste your Spring and Summer being negative. This. Team. Is. Loaded.

This is outstanding*. Bravo sir.
*I still really like this guy so I will ignore your sound logic and choose to eat it all up, just like my brain is telling me Coldstone is overrated and bad for me....I'll have a Strawberry Blonde please.
fired his S&C coach. Not counting bringing in his own guy when he got hired.
A close analog is when we'll (inevitably) get some veiled references to a new position coach getting a lot of credit for "finally teaching us the right technique" or something along those lines.
It's football. It's a pretty explored world. If you are "discovering" something nobody else has used, it's almost a given that it's just something used before repackaged.

How about we just win!!!
Go Blue!!
Lifting weights is an advisable step towards winning football games.
But they don't need to be. He's using basic social engineering techniques, and they work. If they work, then I'm cool with it.
Obviously the media overplays it because overplaying things is American media culture, but it's nice to get a glimpse into what he's doing, to confirm whether or not they make sense, and it's good that he's doing things that make sense.
The key ingredient in fudge.
Fluff ain't all bad.
when the coaches on Hoke's staff were supposedly sneering at the previous staff for "not using blocking sleds" or some such heresy, and the return to using blocking sleds heralded a return to dominance and ass-kicking.
Or was that Harbaugh's staff supposedly sneering at Hoke's staff? it's all starting to blend together now...
“every workout ended with players joining hands and standing in a large circle. According to the article, “If you were late for a workout or a test, you couldn’t join in and were forced to stand in the middle as your teammates surrounded you.”
There's no crying in baseball, and there's no holding hands in football.

He sounds like a good teacher, and getting to the players' brains is as important as getting to their hearts. He seems like another good addidtion. Just like Beilein with bball, making a good staff is probably like a puzzle. Let's hope Herbert is a good piece. Given his previous success and the little bit that we are exposed to, I see plenty of reason to believe that he is.
I personally think this is awesome!
I see the fire and anger to win slowly building over at Schembechler Hall...

Wow.
That was some old school bleacher report level fluff.
Title was likely written by Dave Brandon.
but both interesting and effective approaches. Let's hope he does a great job and helps make our players faster and stronger.
