Tennessee hires Craig Fitzgerald as S&C Coach

Former S Carolina player told me Tennessee got the best hire possible for the position. That said we've had this song and dance several times in the past. I honestly don't think the problem is just the S & C coach, we've had little leadership in the past from the coaching staff nor the upperclassmen players. We've got a new staff but I still would love to see someone step up on this team and demand some accountability out of their peers.

Butch drastic philosophy change and Whiney beotches like JRM were the problem. Strength program was becoming fine under Lawson. Butch let his players talk him into a change. He allowed players to become weaker and soft going to more agility things. It got nearly the entire team killed on the field by end of yr as every team was stronger and more physical than us. Then rock has Try and fix serious damage done and isn't given the backup from Butch needed to control players.

Strength program was a butch and crybaby player problem not so much the guy in charge.

Fitz will be great because he relates and his boss will give him full reigns and not undermine him

Come one 97% of you guys have no clue who is a good S&C coach or who is a bad one.

He has a good resume and I will trust Pruitt and Fulmer here.

I trust Fulmer and Pruitt on the hire as they know the importance. We've been lead down this "next greatest" SC coach so many times I just can't get too excited about it...will have to see.

Call i got moments ago from someone who spent several years in pro baseball but knows of Fitz: “If there’s such a thing as a HR hire for that spot (other than Cochran), Pruitt just hit one.” Twitter …

I KNOW I DIDN’T
I read some slightly POSITIVE speculation on it here on VN and it DROVE ME BAT-S*** CRAZY to the point of affecting my home life! Took a lawn mower blade to the head for my obsession! The only thing that got me through the speech therapy and learning to feed myself again rehab was the hope of posting a smartazz response if God made it not happen! Tuna melt and cheese puffs!

3 years away from College isn't too bad IMO. Rock was around 17 years out of college before he headed back.

I'm not a gym buff, but I believe there is a totally different mindset regarding NFL and college.

The NFL is basically about conditioning. They are already strong and where they needed to be.

College is about building muscle and strength FIRST IMO.
 
I really don’t follow strength and conditioning so someone help me out - does a S&C coach devise their own plan for player development in this area and the HC doesn’t have much input? Or, does the HC sit down with the S&C coach and tell him what he wants from each position group from and physical standpoint and the S&C coach develop a plan based on that?
 
I don't know anything about S&C, but as much as anything, this team needs some continuity. This is the fourth different S&C coach, or lack of, in 4 years.

What I would look for in a S&C coach is that he lives what he preaches.
