strength coach question
Many call the strength coach the biggest hire that the head coach makes. While it is easy to see who the best options are for the other assistants the strength coach is a little harder in this aspect. My question is who are the best strength coaches in the ncaa currently and which of them would fit a Harbaugh team well.

I strongly disagree with whoever says that a S/C coach is the biggest hire a head coach makes. If that were the case, they wouldn't be lowest paid coach on almost every staff

This exactly. Once we lost out on our #1 target this whole line of thinking was born. Can't we just be happy?

Happy?? How do you mean?

Be happy? Are you new here?

Couldn't agree more here. It's important, but you could do a lot worse than buying p90 and having them get after it. Hell, I'll donate my ripped copy!

I'm with you. A great one is absolutely an essential part. In the 80's, Mike Gittleson was legendary. Recruits would return from a visit and talk about him like the recent ones did about Barwis. It's a huge decision. But there are a lot of good ones out there. Harbaugh will find one that meets their needs

I remember going to a UM football camp in '89, I think. I was in a session with Gittleson. He was awesome. During a 90 something day with 100% humidity: "do you boys think it's hot? 'Yes coach!', it's not nearly as hot as my third tour in Vietnam..."
Then later he took two kids from rival HS's, and had them face each other while holding weights out to see who would last longest. "See boys! A little motivation can make you move beyond yourself..."
At the time IIRC all the resistance was Nautilus based stuff, and thy put a ton of emphasis on negative reps.

Haha! That's awesome. I remember Gittleson very clearly as well when I camped there in '91. He made us hold out our arms at shoulder height for 20 minutes while he quoted from the camp brochure and made us repeat after him: "This is NOT A conditioning camp!"

How does a school's facilities also play into a potential S&C hire?
In fact, what are Michigan's weight room facilities? Are they machine based, or Olympic weight based?

Also important factors

would never be a reason someone would say no to being the S&C coach at UM.
January 5th, 2015 at 11:20 PM ^
A source confirms they will only come as a pair. Want new weight room and two tanks.
Supposedly made a statement to the effect of " we would tank them after we beat the puny armed Buckeyes".

I don't understand why we can't get Roddy Piper on the horn.
1. He only knows how to chew bubblegum and kick ass.
2. Dude is jacked.
3. Won't back down from a fight now matter how long it will take.
4. Mullet.

The kid in me wanted this dialog to be the entire extent of JH's introductory speech

I've never heard "we have a bad S&C coach" used an excuse for a bad season or even one lost game. Fine, I guess we'll have to settle for the 2nd, 3rd or (gasp) even 4th best S&C coach in the country.

an OP posting several diary entries critical of conditioning under Wellman leading to a lack of flexibility and injuries.

I tend to remember talk about our S&C being a huge problem for our 4th quarter ailes back in 2006(?). Mainly Appalachian state and Oregon players saying how gast we were
