To me, this is just really disappointing from thatguy. It shows that he clearly doesn't pay attention, like when Kenny was doing workouts with our new/current wide receivers coach, like when Kenny said TODAY that it has nothing to do with the football staff, like when Kenny has consistently heaped praise on the program before and after his coach's departure, etc. Also, making an assumption that he HASN'T reached out to the staff or someone in the AD about the issue seems weird, since we dont' know if that has or has not happened. Nothing against that, since he's a grown man on a messageboard, but if he wanted to actually make good observations, he would do his research and be well informed before spouting off on the internet blasting it to the world.

Gonna play devil's advocate here.
What if the way they were doing things before Boyd came back made it so none if the new players (as of the changes) could crack the top 10 in any category. Not because they're weak but because they're doing the lifts correctly. Is it fair to the new players to be made to look weak when they're doing lifts the right way but don't show up on the board because their numbers are lower?
It seems like a Boyd Epley thing to me rather than a Mike Riley staff thing.
Epley left in 2006. 10 years ago. Probably not a coincidence.
But imo a much better way to do this is to weight the lifts of the past 10 years to match them up to what they would have been in Epley's system. Might be a pain but it could be done. All of the rankings would have to be edited though.

Pretty sure that's the case. Bell even specifically said it had nothing to do with the coaches.
I remember Epley saying something a month or two ago about not having the data to compare over the last several years because things were done differently. Curious what all that entails.
