I'm not saying Sark was right or wrong on the OTAs thing. It's just hillarious to see posters who are hyper critical of Sark for his practice style fall all over Cignetti and how we should hire him....when he is even less contact than Sark. It harkens back to the same mentallity of getting excited about the blocking sled coming back when Mack hired....whomever it was he hired and people lost their minds that physical toughness was returning to the program.....
Miles Price was talking about his time at Indiana and how he only hit the ground like twice in practice. He also compared it to his time at Tech and Mcguire apparently had them do some weird drill where they jumped in a pool at 5 am and had to stay underwater and take off their cotton sweat shirt and exchange it with their partenr's and put it on while staying underwater.....Thats some weird Tom Herman stuff.
Cig doesn't follow the Saban process apparently because he found it wears your team out too much practicing like Saban did. He's much more about mental than physical in his practices.
"So Cignetti put his own spin on The Process: Drill to the point of proficiency, and not a second more.
“I just believe in keeping people fresh and healthy,” Cignetti said. “The better people feel physically, the better they feel mentally, too.”"
