Schmitty is considered a Top 10 S&C coach in college football
Schmitty was S&C coach on 3 different teams that won National Titles. He is good.
You happen to disagree with most Head Coaches, but so be it. We can agree to disagree
Which is probably why only a handful of coaches win big each and every year.
Their teams don't get out-muscled at the l.o.s.
Recruiting has as much or more to do with that as strength and conditioning. S&C coaches can’t make a kid taller, longer, or give him more fast twitch muscle fibers.
Granted...but that is a separate issue that has nothing to do with S&C coach.
They have "molds" when they recruit that players need to fit into.
Unless a team is a total bottom-feeder you won't find many, if any
6-2 or below ol. 6-3 is probably the minimum they are looking for.
Some schools might have 6-4 as a minimum.
It is up to the coaches to supply the proper sized player to the S&C Coach.
Then it is up to the S&C guy to make him, not only a football player but a man.
When Stoops took over for Blake he brought in Schmitty. I was fortunate enough to talk to Seth Littrel the summer before the 200 national championship season. He was the starting fullback at the time. He said they all thought they were in good shape. But Schmitty worked them like they had never been worked before. He said it was horrible. Everyone was throwing up every workout. Every player on that team was in the best shape of their lives. He didn't expect to go undefeated and win the national championship but he said they wouldn't play a single team that was in better shape than they were.
All hype. Good luck with that guy. He was mediocre while at Texas......either that, or we just had a bunch of pussies on our roster, which is also very possible.
I wouldn't say "pussies". I would say that some of those guise just didn't "buy in" to what was being put forth. A good coach will motivate everyone and prove that he truly cares about them and is willing to give it all he has. Character.All hype. Good luck with that guy. He was mediocre while at Texas......either that, or we just had a bunch of pussies on our roster, which is also very possible.
