Message: [QUOTE="RandomGuy, post: 4912415, member: 6422"] Archaic? Of course. An institution following rules from a larger institution. FUBAR. If a kid needs a class for his degree, and it's at 8, he needs to go. Should practice start at 5:30 AM(minus warm ups) When the kid gets home from meetings past midnight? It wasnt too long ago, that schools received permission to give kids a "to go" bag... If straight to class, and they can't eat in class.. well... If allowed. Giving kids a day of prepped food is a great idea. If allowed. Expensive. 4 minutes in the microwave could work. Some schools schedule their kids in 15 minute intervals- from wake up to bed. Time management is huge. Every spare minute - sleep or study. SnC is often the scapegoat. Takes YEARS to fix a kid that was weak, coming in. Technique, form, and scheme also play in. Bergeron was weak coming in - 3 years til he could rep 315. (Had 1/2 dozen in our HS over 300) Schmidt gave him good form/technique. Coach E wasn't responsible for a couple of our starters (oline), only benching 225, (squating squat) coming in. That's 2, or in Bergs case, 3 years before they can put another plate on. And then you have 3 or 4 more years until they can add another plate. 405. Now you have power. Elko and Addazio used running schemes to put their guys in better positions. Injuries can come with how you practice. If you are an undisciplined team, and practice that way? What do you think will happen? Maybe E could have done some things different. Pretty standard for CFB, with a very good, modern approach to fast twitch, and flexibility. Fran sees lack of push. (We all do) I think he fixes the run, partially with scheme. Bleich was benching 455 in HS, squating over 600.. Another guy, too. A couple years in, Servais was repping over 400. We didn't utilize that. I'm guessing Fran runs a power scheme, on run(Elko, Addazio, Baylor when he was there) Those guys had a distinct advantage - in the right scheme. (They could pancake almost anyone in drive blocking) The other way he fixes it? (If you aren't a T , DE) Is bring in guys that did the work in HS. Skip the guys that didn't. I'm well aware of many College lifting programs. My only beef with E? When a seasoned HS lifter comes in, E was a form Nazi. (Refuses to hurt a single kid) Form Nazi, is good, BTW. You can figure that out in a few short weeks. Less if the kid demonstrates competition form. He makes you prove it for a few months. The kid winds up with a "prove it again" Lull for the 1st 2 or 3 months. (Safety). Then its on. I happen to disagree. Snc is a scapegoat. Nutrition? Is not. [/QUOTE]
