I mentioned this before about S&C, the AD should hire the best S&C coach they can find. The FB HC is not an expert in what it takes to make a football player in the gym. You shouldn't need to change your S&C because of a new HC or new system. It is still football.

Being bigger does not mean you have to be slow. Being bigger does not mean you have to lack endurance. Look at the SEC kids, they make our kids look like middle schoolers. Sure they have more football talent, but why can they have big bodies but we are creating smaller guys? And FB is a collision sport. Having larger mass helps absorb all of those blows.

Also look at 100M sprinters. They are all jacked. They get that way because you need muscle for explosiveness and high end speed. Since FB is a game of short bursts of explosiveness, you need to pack on size.

That being said, Hicks' way is outdated. Exercise science has changed quite a bit. But a lot of what he did is still relevant. It seems like we went too far in the opposite direction. Having him around might help bring us back toward the middle.
