toddc 13,194 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 My favorite quote. We know his approach in the weight room and other performance areas will make our players better all-around, especially as he specializes with our men up front on the offensive and defensive lines.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,154 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 His appearance means nothing what he does with his players means a lot. Low rated O-Line out of HS and converted D-Line guys becoming a solid O-Line means players were developed physically and by their position coaches. Lets see what our players look like and more importantly play like after a year in his program. War Eagle and welcome to Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootskii 264 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I'm not going to lie everytime my gym tries to get me to try a personal trainer I always chuckle and tell myself " I am in way better shape than they are." I guess my point is just because you aren't in shape doesn't mean you don't have the knowledge to teach people how get in shape and condition their bodies. I mean look at most football coaches now a days. Most played football and you would never know it by looking at them. Saban is a midget and he played db at Kent State. I met Spurrier once and I couldn't stop thinking "This short scrawny guy was a Heisman trophy winner?" Both those guys are great football coaches though. All I'm saying is give the guy a chance. Couldn't be any worse than we have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarEagleHunter1221 1,690 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Ryan Russell was young and in shape. I don’t think that made a difference for him in the grand scheme of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auskip07 930 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Its a good hire. He knows what Harsin wants without even talking to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyinsocal 831 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 No he doesn't look like the Rock, but he'll be ready to hit the ground running the minute he arrives. Very, very important first step towards transforming the mindset and attitudes of the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying it can't be the best resume Auburn is capable of attracting. I said in my post I believe in Harsin and support him. Just think we could have made a better choice. If I'm hiring essentially a personal trainer for an athletic team I'd prefer a younger more energetic and in shape person. I'm allowed to have a preference dangit!

Brad_ATX 13,654 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Best strength coach I ever saw up close in baseball was an overweight dude who couldn't swing a bat. This dude is taking lower rated, objectively smaller dudes and having them stand toe to toe with P5 teams every year. And they're getting drafted. I'm good.

AUnCullman 601 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Geez, we sound like a bunch of spoiled brats. I know I do too sometimes but good grief. I read where some people say "our OL and DL looked soft and got pushed around", then "this guy doesnt look like he knows what he's doing". Can we please trust the coach. It will take a year or 2 to see if he is ok or not but at least let the guy get on campus and get to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy has been around the block, he has an extensive history in power lifting and education in nutrition. Furthermore, he is familiar with coach and understands what he wants in his players. That is the most important for me. I am not going to pass judgement just yet, but I do get sick of people wanting a type. A lot of y’all wanted the Oregon dude because he had a cool mustache and acted like Tony Perkis, yet, year after year I see Oregon get pushed around on the line, or out physical, especially OOC. Trust the process . Nate solder spoke very highly of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
