what was it rr did to the players that pissed everyone off? I keep hearing how hard he was on them. Sounds like some sour grapes a little.
He’s a manny disciple…
Is he a full blown HIT guy or has he branched out to other training methods?
Not sure. Manny isn’t traditional HIT of one set to failure. The olympic lift, plyos, squat etc. From what I saw I call it noahs ark program. 2 things for everything that can be done is added.
That’s classic. I will be stealing that reference!
I know of a pro team who uses a similar approach. Interestingly, they were looking to add more speed work to their program. In respect I just kept my mouth shut.
Barwis is gone from what I’ve just read.
As he should be. That entire regime was a black eye in thre history of the most storied program in history. I don’t hate the guys, I just think RR was a poor fit here. Barwis may be a good guy, but I saw nothing to make me sign on to follow his methods. He was postured as some cutting edge, revolutionary. I just saw a guy who threw shit at the wall and saw what stuck. Maybe they will both move on and have a bright future somewhere else, but me thinks some reputation repair needs to be done before thats gonna happen.
Barwis and RR needed to go. Im not a fan of U of M but come on, they made Barwis out to be the God of strength and conditioning (not even close) an RR the new king of offense (correct me if Im wrong but ya gotta play Defense also).
I also hear that James Smith is no longer at Pitt. Thats not good news
Hopefully on his terms.
No, James and Buddy were relieved as the new head caoch brought his own staff.
It didn’t take long for the Ravens’ first coaching change of the offseason, as former Secondary Coach Chuck Pagano will take over the defensive coordinating duties for Greg Mattison.
“We’re excited for our defense and for Chuck, and we’re happy for Greg Mattison,” said Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh. “I will talk more about it tomorrow when we formally announced Chuck as our new coordinator in a press conference.”
Mattison will move to the University of Michigan, where he will be the coordinator under new Head Coach and longtime friend Brady Hoke
Pardon my ignorance, but who is Manny? Interested to find out what our guys are in for post-Barwis.
