Lux Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I have a master's in exercise physiology and a CSCS (certified strength and conditioning specialist) what most div 1 strength and conditioning coaches have. But I would not be able to do a good job at the div 1 level. It's like coaching. Experience and learning from greats. Not certification. Although you do have to have that If he is it. I'd be anxious to see if he has the experience or skill to take our guys to the next level lol explain to these guys how hard it is to become cscs cert and what it means really. I always get a kick out of the strength coach talk. Blaming the st rrngth coach is particularly hilarious to me. With all of the infinite sh#t house wisdom among this forum please start a shared excel sheet and design a program. Philosophy. Would also be entertaining. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment
southernoregonhusker Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Just by the looks of the guy, this may be a hire based more on a psycholigical need than actual credentials in the filed, esp with someone like Boyd at the helm for the really important stuff. Just looks like a guy that can instill an attitude more than anything. Young, fun and likable. Exactly what these kids need to transition to the new staff. Remember, this guy will spend more time with these kids than any of the coaches will until spring. I also like that he's Polynesian. We stopped getting those kids when some jackhole ex-player said Poly kids weren't welcome in Nebraska. Quote Link to comment
Trostifarian Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 For a S/C coach, job knowledge and experience are obvious prerequisites but the buy-in of the student athlete is the key to success IMHO. It seems as if Philipp comes with high marks for his ability to relate to the players and that should work wonders. Given the situation - Riley truly has to coach up the entire program, from the secretaries to the players and each person in between, to get everyone united on one path with the same goals in mind. Tall task but thus far he seems uniquely qualified to do so. In my book, a hire like Philipp is a good (and needed) step in that direction. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Hope its a good hire. If Boyd Epply had input then it likely is. Had anyone else heard that Bo had Dobson run S&C on the honor system? It was up to the players whether to show up because they are "grown men". Quote Link to comment

HuskerPowerVA Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 If BE is behind it, I am not sure why others are not. Perhaps what will make this hire special is beyond him having the credentials and education to teach strength and conditioning and create programs; but also to be able to install a dominant attitude and year-round culture of dedication towards improvement. Isn't that what sets all great coaches apart from the rest? Perhaps more than any other facet of preparation, the strength and speed work you do off season does more to improve you than what you do from the end of summer to the bowl game.

Stumpy1 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Boyd made recommendations for Dobson when Bo hired him. Gave him high praises also. I really like this hire. Young, energetic and will relate with players. Quote Link to comment

NUpolo8 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Saw where Crabtree (recruiting guy) said he was one of the better young recruiters around. As a fellow fan who likes Bray's potential, this video was interesting (maybe you've seen it). He sure is a good-looking fella So you wood? No. Does he need to do some more 'shups or something? You can always crank out more 'shups, kimosabe. Quote Link to comment

They can have the skill but it kids don't like him. They won't care or won't work for him. It's a blend of a lot of things Quote Link to comment

Who was the guy that transferred away and ended up at Oregon? His excuse was he wanted to be closer to his 80 year old dad in Salt Lake City. Quote Link to comment
