Maybe not the absolutely best strength coach but definitely a player favorite...then again I think most strength coaches are

I laugh at the timing of this thread and the news that its actuallyhappening, but I think Drew Wilson is really, really good. We need more details on why this is the case.
Im guessing Dorrell just wants his own guy in there.

Then his own guy better be better, or willing to take less $ than Drew and put the rest into incentive-laden recruiting resources.
Head coaches always like to have their own S&C guys. As stated above, this isn’t where I was hoping to see changes, either. I hope KD has a good idea of who he wants to bring in, because from where I sit, S&C is pretty low on the list of pressing needs.
Dorrell really does hate yelling.

****, even in the weight room? Thats what happens in a d1 weight room boi
fify.
Had no idea what a Rolodex was until now lol
Look for us to get a nice old school guy who doesn't do recruiting, just heavy lifting.
Prove me wrong coach.
Prove me wrong coach.
Well Atleast he uses the carrot instead of the stick...
B_Walk would be Wilson signed to a new five year contract with a huge raise.

I post stupid ****
He has been here 5 years and all except the first have been injury plagued. Dude clearly doesn't have what it takes. Too many have been non-contact which is a direct result of muscle imbalances/weakness in 90%+ cases. Video is scarce but technique looks good from the squat and clean videos I see. It is 100% obvious his routine is insufficient. I try to structure my post into something readable. Cliff notes: All these non-contact injuries are directly resulted from ****ty weight training program.
Section 3 can be skipped. It's just examples proving half of college strength coaches are **** and Wilson is no exception.
Section 1: Non contact ACL injuries due to improper quad hamstring strength ratio.

This has been known for decades. There is no better exercise for hamstring development than deadlifts. Squat and clean aren't substitutes, nothing is. There is nothing inherently dangerous about deadlifting either. It's one of the easiest lifts to teach and weight load should be based on the coaches program so going too heavy isn't an option.
Section 2: Wilson's routine sucks.
There is no reason to structure a weight training workout in waves like this. You either work up to a weight and stay there or work up then down. Whether it's the Chinese Soviets or Bulgarians, no one does this. He's trying to reinvent the wheel
Is it any wonder why Javier Edwards was the strongest dude in the weight room when he came in from juco or why, currently, Brendan Lewis is walking in from highschool?
Bigger Stronger Faster
scary that Shenault lifts with Moretti/lineman @javier_edwards9 550 lbs @jmoretti_70 525 @ColbyP_73 505 @_Nate_Landman 475 @Viska2live 475allbuffs.com
Is it also any wonder why Landman and Pursell gained 20lbs in two years? That is atrocious for 18-22 year olds. The only explanation is garbage training routine.
Colorado Buffaloes winter weight room leaders
Direction of director of strength and conditioning Drew Wilson posted some of their winter testing results on social media...247sports.com
If I'm being real, 525 is not good for the best squat on a D1 football team. Should be more like 600+.
Section 3: Most D1 strength coaches are complete garbage.
They fall for broscience crap, like "functional strength" and using hex bars to deadlift because they're "safer", and generally lack knowledge about training periodization to improve athletic performance. They think they can substitute "more safe" exercises in their place and get the same results. In reality, they are just sacrificing player health during the game for what is actually safe if monitored by a knowledgeable staff.
Every strength coach in these videos should've been fired on the spot:
The entire point of the deadlift is to target the posterior chain. Using a hex bar so you can lift with an "athletic" squat stance ... then just ****ing squat, it makes absolutely no difference whether the weight is on your back or the ground if the bio-mechanical movement is the same.
Crappy clean technique. This wasn't something unknown or revolutionary in 2008. Wilson is clearly not this bad as he teaches basic technique.
Viral Clemson bench video a few years ago. Clemson is good IN SPITE of this coach. Benching using tools designed to stimulate a bench shirt for equipped powerlifters in an effort to prevent shoulder injury is like squatting high to prevent knee injury. I'd bet this strength coach doesn't want his athletes to deadlift because they could hurt their back... but benching like this with weight they clearly can't handle is no problem.
My qualifications: BS in exercise science but I would be remiss if I said that would be the source of my knowledge. Most classes in school couldn't teach proper bench form let alone Alexey Medvedev's studies regarding the role of the relationship between intensity and volume in Soviet weightlifters. My powerlifting gym training with 2 world class athletes taught me more in three years than my university did in 4. When I say things like 525 is crap for a D1 football team's best or Landman and Purcell gaining 20lbs in two years is garbage, that's coming from experience.
Top 5 called shot...
I wonder if Laviska might've had a better CU career?

Hey! That guy who was at Stanford, the one who was so innovative and regularly churned out AA OLs and TEs for years, could be available!
I’m a bit bummed. I need to get into the office and get my Rolodex. Yes. I have one. So shoot me!
This young Gen Xer saw it on my desk and exclaimed, “You have a Rolodex! How cute!”
