IU looking for new strength and conditioning coach

• Keith Caton joined the Indiana football program as head strength and conditioning coach on Jan. 14, 2016. Caton arrived in Bloomington after a four-year stint at Baylor University.

• In his debut season, an IU program record-tying 12 Hoosiers collected All-Big Ten honors and Indiana earned a trip to the Foster Farms Bowl.

• Served as Baylor’s director of football for athletic performance. The Bears posted a 40-12 record in his four seasons and capped off their third straight 10-win campaign in 2015.

No idea how he was as head strength coach but as an assistant he seems to have more than enough experience.

Was just thinking the same thing.

Was just thinking the same thing.

Not to derail the thread, but at the Clemson game during warm ups all the S&C guys had Grey t-shirts with this logo in black on them. They looked awesome. I would love something like that.

"Sean Edinger is in his second year as the football program’s assistant athletics director for athletic performance. Appointed to the position in January 2016, Edinger is responsible for designing programs to increase the conditioning, speed, strength and agility of Syracuse’s football student-athletes."

Actually Edinger has a bigger title then Head Strength Coach so who knows what Catons title will be.

This is the kind of hire that Syracuse has rarely made in the past. They lost an important member of the football staff and took the opportunity to upgrade the staff to a new level. I think this is a great hire and hope it is a sign that SU is making a fundamental change in how the AD department does business.

I assume he is the replacement for coach "Swolebol"?

 

[Trueblue25]

Did this guy train Shawn Oakman?

Probably only make them in XXL-XXXXL sizes.

This is one of those logos that would be most cool if people like us can’t buy it.

Earn the shirt versus buy the shirt.

So they took our RB coach because we couldn't pay him as much as them. Now we've poached their S&C coach. That's interesting and makes me wonder about a few things.

1. Are we paying him more than IU?

2. If so, does that mean we place more importance on S&C than IU.

2a. Why would IU be willing to pay more than us for a RB coach but not a S&C coach.

3. If he took a pay cut, why? Does Edinger have a reputation where guys are willing to make financial sacrifices to learn from him?

SU didn't poach. He was fired by IU.
