Gowebb11 9,424 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Boss move. This is exactly the type of thing Harsin is going to have to do to elevate us in the SEC. He knows how to run an organization. The amount of NFL, College, and Olympic experience is impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUgrad2013 114 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I love how every move coach Harsin makes is done with great attention to detail. I’m sure other programs have strength coaches that work with specific position groups, but it’s impressive to me and has to be good for our current players and recruiting.

AUx 3,016 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Staffing might look like one strange, unappreciated Lego piece from 20 different specialty kits. But when assembled, hopefully it turns out to be a pirateBeard-MilleniumFalcon-HarryPotter-LOTR-bionic-Avenger pimp-slapping, curbstomping, recruit-taking, freak-building, beast. Or at least a recognizably more sophisticated and potent assemblage than the prior staff. 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAYLORKEETON 808 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I hope to be one of these on our staff within the next 5-10 years. I’ll take my CSCS exam within the next year & get my collegiate S&C certification. The end result is to become apart of the program in some role of sort. Been a dream since I was 4. I have a background in lifting so I always get excited when I see these hires. Love the S&C guys. WDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of things I'm curious about: 1) What do SEC S&C staffs normally look like? 2) What will the dynamic be between them and Pittman? Forgive me if this is redundant to what you already know, and I don't know if this addresses your questions, but just as important as the actual S&C part for Pittman- and his equals in the business ("normal SEC S&C staffs")- is the implementation of the head coach's culture. Toughness, work ethic, attention to detail, understanding expectations in general... the S&C guys are charged with a lot of that because they're the ones who spend time with the players year round while the on-field staff are very limited in the time they can spend with them. (I'm pretty sure the S&C guys have a lot to do with helping rookies get settled in.) Also, since the time that the on-field staff spends with the players is so limited, that needs to be spent on teaching them how to execute plays and game plans. Harsin's not going to have a lot of time to tell players how to "behave". And I think that's the main reason Pittman was brought in. Universally, the knock on him seems to be that he's fallen a bit behind on the actual S&C part of it. He's a '71 Chevelle and these new guys are Teslas. bama and uga and Clemson have Teslas, too. That Chevelle has an important place in the garage, but the Teslas are the daily drivers. They're getting folks to work every day. Okay, now I'm just entertaining myself with dumb analogies. Sorry about that. I only mean to say that I'm guessing Pittman will be charged with delegating Harsin's vision to his staff and the players, and his staff be charged with actually coming up with the (modern) training and dietary regimens. If accurate, this is extremely exciting to me. Oh, back to question one. Scott Cochran was long considered an extremely important part of saban's success, but I don't think it was because he knew more about exercise (or PEDs) than the next guy. I think it was because every spring and fall camp, saban was handed a team full of focused, tough, disciplined, fit players who understood what would be expected of them. That's Pittman's job. And he'll let his staff deal with the "fit" part. PS- Really excited about Lazard. I was hoping he'd be coming with Harsin as soon as Harsin was announced and I took a look at his Boise staff. That dude's resume is impressive to me. Now that we have him *and* Pittman? Hell yeah. Also, this suggests to me that Harsin already knows this hierarchy can work.

gravejd 3,272 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Love Love Love how Harsin is building the AU program right now. Multiple S&C coaches that each can focus on specific positions. This is so freaking smart and an obvious thing to do!! I assume we are not the first to take this approach but i'm so glad we are taking that approach now. I was worried about being too old school in our S&C program but that worry is gone now. Harsin is literally picking the AU football program up and putting us on his back and saying "here let me show you what a big time program looks like".
