The guy before Moffitt was canned by Saban because the team consistently lost games in the forth quarter.

That happens on the regular now.

To me the measure of a great strength and conditioning coach is how many games are won late in the forth quarter. That doesn't happen as often now.

Everything I'm reading on the internet, except here, has nothing but great things to say about Moffitt. He's considered one of the best in the business.

Sports are more than fitness. It's about technique and development WITHIN THE GAME, NOT THE GYM.

Our failures have been recruiting and development, not strength and conditioning.

How many star athletes enter ANY sport and fade out within a few years? It happens so much. It's not because they aren't strong or fast enough, but because they don't understand how to maximize their potential within the game.

ETA: I saw an interview with Moffitt and he said having a LB squat 5,000 pounds isn't going to make him a better football player. He said, if anything, it would only increase the risk of injury.

He also talked about things that are important in sports: spinal strength, hip mobility, explosive movements with the most power. This dude KNOWS what he is talking about.
