OL Woes
Something I heard Troy Aikman say on MNF last night. NFL coaches bemoan the lack of development of college O Linemen. I think a lot of this is from the strength coaches. I haven't been around our new program but plan to this year. From what I've seen a lot of the coaches spend a lot of time doing the "trendy" things and don't spend enough time doing the basics I.E. squats, front squats,cleans, jerks and benches. Before anything else OL needs to be strong and aggressive, especially the ones with less natural talent. Develop a strong base first, then work on the other things. As Boyd Eppley, (former great Nebraska Strength Coach) once said, " we don't want to stray too far from the beaten path." Mike Gentry seemed to follow the same philosophy.

I reached out to him in 2000 about a strength training program.
