If he's truly sober and didn't fall off the wagon he will be the best coach they've had since Mack Brown. I don't think that's saying much, though.

S&C for Falcons since 2017, previously strength coach for Army Rangers and several college programs. Did a year as an assistant at Texas under Mack/Madden in 2008.

Expand  

Ackerman’s rise to the NFL was a steady one. He graduated from John Carroll and became the strength and conditioning coach for the Blue Streaks from 2002 to 2007 after his time as a graduate assistant there. From there, he took the same job at Iowa State (2007-08), moved on to the University of Texas (2008-12) and then Florida (2012-2015), where current Falcons head coach Dan Quinn served as the Gators’ defensive coordinator.

Quinn was named Falcons head coach on Feb. 2, 2015. One year later, he reached back to his Florida days and hired Ackerman.

Respectfully disagree. They spend more time with the team than the coaching staff does. For part of the year they are the only ones who can have contact with the players. It's more than just adding weight, muscle, or speed. It's work ethic that transfers to practice and the season. I don't think the position gets enough attention.

You need to have somebody competent and it helps to have someone elite at their profession but ultimately it's about the dudes talent you recruited. Tommy Moffitt didn't become an idiot from 2019 to 2020 at LSU.

— There hasn't been a ton of movement in the transfer portal at this point. Texas took a shot at Jaiden Lars-Woodbey, but he chose Boston College over the Longhorns. An excellent source told me that Lars-Woodbey decided on Texas, but several players reached out to dissuade him.

Whoa!!  That sounds like ... something.

I hope the new staff can figure out who all the malcontents are and either get them in line or wish them luck somewhere else.  That read like more than one member on the team specifically heard that the guy was going to portal here, and actively went out of their way to seek him out and to dissuade him.  That's pretty crazy.  If you're that miserable here, then just leave.  Don't try to sabotage it from the inside out.

Don't worry, Alford will fail at USC, so karma is lined up

"Several Players" is the part that caught my attention.  Maybe they were all pissed at Herman and thought he was going to stay?  Don't know.  But something sounds really rotten.

True. I just remember Alford being mentioned steering an FSU DB transfer to Boston College instead of Texas. Pissed me off.

Yeah he left after the Big 12 title season. I am not sure where that story came about Ricky wanting Mack to hire him.

TFB alluded to this as well. Whoever those players were need to be told to pack their shit immediately, regardless of their feeling on Herman

CDC listed players negatively recruiting as one of his reasons for firing Herman.

So any S&C coaches out there with MNC rings that are not on current contenders. Mad Dog don't count but I did hear great things about him once from my kid's High School coach as to his willingness to pick up the phone and offer advice. So a good one can even help recruiting.

make a list of the s&c guys that have the most current players in the nfl and start at the top.  that's what these kids care about.

even if he's not actively recruiting, he can be used for recruiting.  it's not that complicated.

It came from Ricky.  He was quite vocal about it at the time.  His first  question to Mack.

Kurt Bowels was the person i saw bring up this name.  So...

If i'm making a decision based upon the two videos i wouldn't hire Ackerman.  He seems to be unorganized and mailing in the presentation.  By comparison he makes Yancy seem precise and tuned in to the college game/program.  Also, didn't know Yancy had 5 staff.

Suchomel said he expects less portaling because of this coaching change. Players despised Herman.
