Loved seeing the guy in the arm sling pulling the green gator in the background.

The question is, is it because of conditioning?
Every time in the recorded history of the western civilization, once a new S&C guy comes in, it's a new era, and players are quoted on how tough the new guy is.

We had great conditioned teams under Mad Dog, but the populace hated him because he was fat. Then comes Bennie, and the quotes of the new conditioning program are great, players saying how tough it is, etc.

Then, team doesn't do well and either fans throw Bennie under the bus, or still somehow blame Mad Dog.

I can remember when Greg Robinson went to Syracuse and one of the first things reported was the tremendous jump in toughness of the S&C.

S&C tremendously important of course - but the supposed disparity between S&C coaches probably one of the most BS calls. All successful teams have very good S&C programs.

Disagree on your description of Mad Dog, from everything I've read.

Disagree on your description of Mad Dog, from everything I've read.

The absolutely key line there is, "From what I have read".

Read where - the internet? People who have never ever seen any aspect of what the guy did? Never saw a workout, realized his awards, never saw anything or knew anything about his workouts except internet gossip.

Madden was inducted into the USA Strength and Conditioning Coaches Hall of Fame in June 2003, and in May 2009, he was elected president of the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association (CSCCa).

Pray tell, what exactly of any significance have you, or any mad dog basher in this site read?
