He is the highest paid coach in our field & he has done it without being a Douche Donkey. He doesn’t get the most talented, he develops it. You don’t win games by barking & doing endless jumping jacks on the sidelines. He wins games because his athletes are prepared to win games.

Grappling inspired drills have been in my programming for over 10 years. I do not feel this is contact prep, no momentum or collision. But it is sound lineman conditioning paired with heavy sled work. Progress to 10 reps each with varied work/rest ratios.

The Zercher Squat has been around since the 1930’s. It was developed by Ed Zercher who was a strongman that didn’t have a rack; so he deadlifted the wt off the floor in the crook of his arms to squat it. That’s 90 years ago TweeterVille, it’s not a new lift!

1.22 flying 10 is not blazing but 95% of S&C college coaches will not post themselves doing any field or court work. Why? Because they can’t. Can’t perform a dynamic warmup, can’t perform technical sprint drills, or skill acquisition modalities. The game is not played in a rack.

It is rare in training for football that you ever go to failure in an annual plan. In working sets always leave a few reps in the tank. In squatting always use a triangle of protection and the athlete never gives up on a rep and helps the 3 spotters to get back in the rack.

From an outsiders perspective (fans, sport coaches, media), unless you are at the Professional or Power 5 level you are not considered talented in the field of S&C. TALENT can not be denied, eventually someone will notice! Be GREAT where your feet are!
