Talk strong will bring this for S&C. Wow

Think Mack and Mad Dog had something to do with Wylie not getting it done. That first year was a HUGE difference, but then it seemed to taper off badly.

I agree, not just Mad Dog but i think Mack and the lack of accountability was huge.

Don't believe we will have to worry about accountability with this guy. He said they (the players) will give it to me either now or later. The day will not end without me getting it (total effort/all they got/time in the pit) from them...period.

As the reporter said...if it was him he would rather play a little bunged up than nurse minor injuries and be subjected to the pit. Change is coming.

No cellphones in the gym!

From another article.

We typically try not to dedicate an entire post to something from another local site, but it’s raining outside today and I’m feeling real lazy. But perhaps more important than the fact that’s it’s raining and I’m lazy, is the superb insight provided by CL Brown and the Courier Journal on this great piece that examines life in The Pit and the man behind it all, Pat Moorer. I first got a glimpse of life in the pit earlier this summer when UofL held their two open practices. When the team took the field, we noticed that cornerback Jordan Paschal was on crutches. Minutes later we looked over to our left and saw him sitting in what appeared to be a ditch, shovel in hand. He literally spent 60 minutes sitting in the blazing hot sun digging in that ditch. The upper-body torment must have been excruciating. And that’s what Moorer does. To promote an atmosphere where guys won’t milk their injuries to stay out of practice, he’s devised a workout / torture regiment for injured players that ensures they are back at practice the first day they’re physically able to do so. If you’ve hurt your knee or ankle, get ready for an explosive day of upper body work (see Jordan Paschal). Conversely, if it’s your arm or shoulder, prepare for a grueling lower-body workout. But, as the Courier’s article shows, it’s not just digging ditches and pulling golf carts. Moorer also wares down his players in the weight room, too. We’ve often heard the stories and myths behind Moorer’s commanding presence, and after seeing this piece, it’s probably safe to say they were all true.

Mad Dog was not the S&C coach, not sure why he's getting thrown under bus again.

Bennie ran the show, and the players talked very highly of him.

After seeing this and reading about Strong, a new era of accountability is coming to the 40 acres. It looks and sound like these two will let nothing slide. These are truly exciting times.

Bennie did not run the show completely. Never did. In fact Mack split the responsibilities up and MadDog took the heavies and Bennie everyone else. It caused a problem in the locker room because MadDog was not as hard on the heavies as Benny was everyone else. It was a joke and another of Mack's misplaced loyalty plays.

So was Bennie not very good or did Madden undermine Bennie's efforts? Seems like Bennie is pretty good, but I could be wrong.

Circuit training is great for skill position players, but his lifts weren't effective for the entire team.
