Just curious - we didn’t seem particularly strong ever or in great shape in the 4Q under the previous staff.

How would anyone know unless they are in the building? I am just going to trust that Savage brings a hard edge back to the program.

Lots of people here digest Lsu content in different ways. The are articles or social media posts I can easily miss that may go into their work or changes. Some here may be friends with players who have talked about it.

These aren’t state secrets

All I know is we can’t lose to Tommy Moffitt three years in a row. That’s a conversation nobody who let him walk wants to have.

Nowhere to go but up.

Regardless of the new training program, I expect that having an offense that can stay on the field for more than 3 downs will help the D be less worn out in the second half.

They are lifting really heavy things and running a lot.

There were fans who thought Moffetts day was up,do you feel that way now after the way A@m manhandled us in the 2nd half last year.The best thing the strength staff did at LSU with Nick and Moffett was,implement the 4th quarter program.The problem was the head coach has to fully support the s@c coaches and their approach.Under Les after a few seasons he got away from Tommies system and hence the 8-9 win seasons.Lets hope Savage has a system to make these players tough as nails.

Not at all. It’s S&C. The excuse people use here is that he got “passed up by the times”. The dude has been a part of 3 National Championship teams under 3 different head coaches. That alone tells you he’s one of the best to ever do it. His athletes were fast and strong, and still are.

Replacing him with Flint was criminal

Last season, after the aTm game, my brother in law who isn't from Louisiana and doesn't really watch college football texted me "Your team looks soft. What happened?" If he could see it, why couldn't our $10 million coach?

I do think it wasn't ridiculous for fans to feel the way they did at the end of Moffitt at LSU. People forget how fat and out of shape LSU looked at the end of the Orgeron era. I remember how much we got pushed around by UCLA and Kentucky that season. Now, was all of that on Moffitt? Probably not. It was pretty widely reported that Ed basically let the guys eat whatever and ignored nutrition altogether. Is it possible that Moffitt had just gotten stale? Sure that's possible. Maybe TM just needed a fresh start where his message and style would be landing on new ears.

A assistant coach can only do what the HC allows him to do.Nick let Tommie instill his discipline and follow through with it, other coaches didn’t.

Somebody posted a thread yesterday about "load management." Your point was my first thought when I read it. The comments were praising the prior staffs for this effort.

My thoughts were that we needed more load applied to generate better late game conditioning. The other comment I keep hearing from fans, staff, and players is that we need to get more physical. Whit Weeks even said we needed to get meaner at SEC media days interview.

You cant get more physical if you are not conditioned better than your opponent.

Conditioning a team is really more of an art than people think. Often, people assume more is better and there are times when you need that in your calendar but you also can go way overboard with it and hinder guys late in the year. It's a physical grind as is and you saw some of this with Les in many cases.

I can agree with that but also consider we have two open dates per season now. Also, a lot of the load management jargon nowadays is more directed at preventing soft tissue injury more than overall conditioning.

Everyone is awesome until lsu losses a game, then it’s the strength coach’s fault
