First, let me preface that I am pretty much the furthest from an “insider” that has ever lurked on this site. Second, I respect and appreciate a lot of what you, Machinator, and many others bring to the site.
Now that I’m done kissing your collective asses; let me offer a counter point- from reading the contributions of many on this board, S&C Coaches have long been more than just that, Strength & Conditioning coaches- They’ve been babysitters, enforcers (of punishment) and even confidante to players. Maybe, just maybe, Saban is on to something here- Two of these HAS to be better than one; no? The more eyes on the Team, the lesser the chances of a major screw up.
Perhaps the dude with the PhD and no football acumen whatsoever is really a licensed psychiatrist/therapist? Or maybe one educated in straight EQ; like a Professionally Certified Leadership/Life Coach?
Hell, let’s go contract Tony Robbins, John Maxwell or Inyala Vanzant.
