Anyone with a scrimmage report

[ShortSideOption]

we’ve said that EVERY. TIME

Lol not I. I called Duval out from jump street when he said he didn’t know what functional training was and that loser blamed the kids for being out of shape when he sent them to the hospital even though he was making 400k a year.

That was the epicenter of trash training.

Also look where Duval lands after his Nebraska stint (has he landed yet?).

I will bet anyone that the job Corey Cooper gets after his NU stint is better than the job Duval gets.

Cooper had a pretty easy message to interpret.

He's mentioned several times, there is no substitute for strength and no excuse for not having it. But there is a caveat to that. If you already have a guy that is in that echelon of strength for his position, then they're going to devote more time and energy into applying that strength in terms of power and speed. If you've got a RB already squatting 500 lbs, they're not going to just try to get him to squat 700 lbs, they're going to work more on using that strength to express it explosively and as fast as possible.

I thought his message on how they program was great. And I think he'll be a really good S&C for Nebraska.

I'm right there with you. I'll put money on Duval ending up at Oklahoma after this year unfortunately but it still goes with my theory that no one other than Nebraska disciples will hire him.

My bro in law that coaches power 5 S&C speaks about this a lot. If you get to a certain point it no longer is about pushing more weight but pushing that weight faster.

I was wondering who you were referring to with this comment, so I googled and found out OU's S&C director is Harvard, Nebr. native and 1986 UNL graduate Jerry Schmidt. Does he have personal connections to Duval? Or just a common connection through Epley?

I also noticed that their associate director of S&C is James Dobson!

My Dad went to High School with the OU S&C coach. Hes put out like 7 Heisman winners. Hes from Harvard, Ne.

And he is a crazy fucker, but he is good at what he does.

Look at us, tackling in practice again

And Tights Ends catching balls. Nice

But he won't be head S&C at Oklahoma though. He has nothing on his resume that would earn him that gig. Head gig at a B1G program to assistant gig is not a career progression.

My guess is that Cooper is on the rise and he will keep progressing after his stint at NU.

And again none of this is to take a shot at Duval... these are just critiques of the work asst coaches do.

Jerry Schmidt is one of the best in the business. No way OU would can him for Duvall

No one is saying that. @ShortSideOption is saying he might be given one of the several S&C positions under Schmidt at OU. One of which is currently held by another former NU S&C head guy in James Dobson.

I think you missed the original argument. The argument was who will be a better head S&C coach at Nebraska, Duval or Cooper.

Duval's career is not exactly riding high now. He was just part of a staff that is considered the worst coaching staff in modern history for a blue blood program. For his next role, his only options are to take a demotion in title, prestige and pay.

My argument is that I will bet you that Corey Cooper's next role when he leaves Nebraska will be for a head role at a bigger school for more money.

Ok fair enough, I didn’t read that far back.

Also it’s a little premature on Corey Cooper
Everyone was blowing their load over the first few Duval hype videos

I agree.

You have to understand, Duval and that staff are leaving Nebraska in absolute disgrace. They were the worst staff in modern NU football history. He's got that stink on him.

My argument is that Cooper is going to leave Nebraska in better stead than that. That's a fucking low bar lol. That's like saying, I predict my NBA team will do better next season than the 1999-2000 Clippers (who went 15-67). It's not a particularly gutsy prediction, they were like the worst team in NBA history.

I imagine he just goes back into private training again.
The guy is good at crafting an impressive looking player. It just falls off the rails after that. Feel like every coach has mentioned how Nebraska had the best looking team, they just fall apart

Also if I were to give Duval some credit, I'd say the 'conditioning' part of S&C was not bad. If you take the 2021 season for example, and look at all our most physical/best opponents (OU, MICH, MSU, WISC, Cockeye, OSU)... I don't think there was a game in there where we 'wilted' in the 4th Q. IIRC we looked good physically in those games, we just lost those for other reasons (usually dumb Frost or AMart related reasons).

Duval's problem was that we had too many players who underperformed their star rating and/or did not get better in their time at NU. Not all of that is his fault but S&C bears the brunt of that.

That plus the killer injuries + the general stiffness that our players (especially linemen) seemed to move with.

The linemen, in particular, all seemed stiff and fat. I don’t know if that was a recruiting, nutritional, or a s&c issue, but I hated it

That's really the only reason I thought they might grab Duval. Nebraska native and Dobson down there. Even though I am not a ZD fan... any school that could get a former head strength coach as an assistant strength coach would probably be crazy to not do it.

Ya no shot for head job there, just a Nebraska connection that knows who he is running things.
