Mike Cummings accepts UCONN OC opportunity

Getting back to the topic of this thread, welcome Mike Cummings. When will we get our WR coach?

Meanwhile there is an article in the New York Times this morning about how Stanford's training program and the key for them is stretching and improved mobility. More important than lifting weights.

Mobility is extremely important. Static stretching is not. Dynamic stretching, massage/fascia release, nutrition, and promotion of rapid healing of microinjuries are all very helpful. Mobility work has a large stretching component, but static stretching pre-workout has no known benefits once a dynamic warmup is included.

I can also see how a coach would regard mobility work as something that needs to be taught and then performed on an individual basis by the players on their own time, rather than something that should take away team practice time.

I like to run/warm up for ten minutes or so and then stretch a little.

The thing I like about Cummings' statement is that he is not afraid to take on sacred cows.

I love the BY - a place where folks who never coordinated a gameplan complain about those who are asked to and/or complain about missing folks they complained about while here. It was the BY where folks openly suggested TJ was not allowed to call plays during games and was being overruled by the HC/OL coach, right? It was here that folks complained after the USF game that he simply could not be both HC and OC, right? And now some are suggesting Day, who was never a coordinator, apparently turned in to a great one tearing up the feared Ds of Temple (for 1 half only, although the D won it), Rutgers and Memphis?

I liked how the O finished the season, but I don't think their body of work over the entire season earned any of the coaches the right to stay. I also am willing to give the new HC some time to build his staff (completely), institute his program (on and off the field) and then evaluate. I do not find that to be blind allegiance, but simply reacting to facts and not rumor and innuendo.
