Vic Viloria - C - Seminoles
Football Scoop reports that LSU has interviewed former FSU strength coach Vic Viloria.

Presumably, Viloria would serve in the same capacity as strength coach if he's hired by LSU. Football Scoop passes along that there is a "strong possibility" that he ends up with the Tigers. Viloria had been with FSU for the past eight seasons, but was not retained by new Seminoles HC Willie Taggart when Taggart was brought on to replace Jimbo Fisher earlier this winter.

He is a Louisiana native, which certainly shouldn’t hurt his popularity among the LSU faithful.

Taggart only hires strength coaches that give players rhabdomyolysis.

Vic and Bama's strength coach, Scott Cochran played HS Football together at John Curtis. And both learned under Moffitt. Vic is a good coach and good hire. He will likely be Moffitt's successor.

Went to high school with him at Curtis. He was a badass for us. I believe he graduated in or before Jonathan Wells. Would love for him to reunite with Coach Tommy.

The foundation for the unprecedented success is forged by Viloria. The Seminoles have made noticeable physical gains across the board and significantly cut back on injuries as Viloria and his staff remain on the cutting edge of technology. Under Viloria, FSU became the first college football program to utilize advanced GPS technology to measure energy exertion and regulate rest and physical action.

Viloria was at LSU for three years where he worked under the supervision of Tom Moffitt before going to SMU. While at LSU he worked with the Tigers’ nationally-ranked football and baseball programs as well as the swimming and golf teams.

A disciple of renowned weightlifting coach Gayle Hatch, Viloria endorses the “Hatch System” which develops functional and explosive strength in players through the use of free weights, plyometrics and jumping drills.
