I don't know enough to have a valid opinion. Anyone have thoughts to share?

Are you kidding me? It's been the same for over a decade. The players have to show up and work. That's it. Bottom line.

Nah, I'm sure Moffitt has forgotten how to do his job.

Same head coach and o-cood won a NC. Why does everyone say it's the coaches and not the players showing up?

Strength and conditioning are a little different than game-planning/management. Our players not being in shape HAS NOT BEEN THE PROBLEM.

If your basing this off Chad Jones Bench Press at the combine then stop. CJ has not been subject to the same football S+C program that the team has because he has played baseball. Also with the injury to his shoulder he hasn't hit the bench hard, and he is a pitcher, benching/lifting heavy upperbody weight alot could screw up his pitching.

moffit has consistently worked on explosion techniques like power cleans, snatches, lifts like that....if you notice around, LSU doesnt have as many injuries as most other universitys that work heavily on gaining bulk and heavy lifting...

he's one of the top Strength guys in the country id leave him alone...

and now the new rumor out there is that had he continued to play baseball he would have needed tommy john surgery first .. if true, this has to affect a bench press ..

Not sure I agree.

ETA: it has been a problem at times, but not the ONLY problem.

I sometimes think Moffit adds too much weight too fast and that causes a player to lose speed. Overall he is a good coach.

What you guys need to understand is that there is a WORLD of difference between a strength and conditioning program designed to make championship football teams and combine training. Moffitt and his staff are the BEST IN THE COUNTRY at making championship programs. They are not in the business of training kids for the combine. I appreciate the hell out of Moffitt not selling out his program to become one of those combine junkies who just want to add 40 times and bench reps to HIS resume. He is in the toughness business. If you are trying to evaluate the success of a strength program the day after the combine, you are living on another planet.

Ok good, at least Coach Moffitt has YOUR approval. We can all learn a thing or two from you. After all, no one knows the right pace at which to add weight to a workout like you.
