I like it! Ballou looks like a badass!

Welcome!

The guy we just lossmay have something to say about that. Everyone in the country knew him. And there are others like Feld at Oregon.

He used to have a name in S&C, technically, right? And yeah, he was someone known around SEC football. The thing there is a lot of his notoriety came from Scott being a 'face' fans became familiar with. You're the one that said something about it earlier in this thread, didn't you? Something about the AV team scrambling.

Chris Doyle is the guy I think is most known partly because he's been the highest paid S&C guy—21, maybe 22 years at Iowa. It's been several months, back in the summer of '18 I'm thinking, Doyle received a raise bumping him to 725K per year. SC was getting 585K at the time and was set to make 595K. A significant difference there, eh?

A related thought crossed my mind the other day. You'd have to look it up to verify the numbers...going on off what I recall. There was an article a year or so ago about staff pay increases at Georgia and I believe their special teams coordinator was being paid 325K per year.

Is Kirby matching Alabama's money with Cochran? And if so, we're looking at a position coach who is making more than others who actually have experience at their job. On the same team. An odd situation to me.

I'll ask, would anyone know who Aaron Feld is without the mustache?

He was an assistant at Georgia prior to being the guy at Oregon.

Having said that, IU and Oregon on this list

Maybe not, but would anyone know about Cochran if it wasn't for his consistent yelling? It's all about marketing yourself, having something different than the next guy, and with Strength and Conditioning being realized as the single most important aspect of a program these days, the coaches associated with it are known more than ever before.

Vaguely, from a distance kind of "know" and not for the 'stache. I recall him being part of McGee with UAB / Clark taking over...assistant title in S&C to volunteer position at Bama. He was only in Tuscaloosa a year before he got the head S&C job at North Alabama and that story hit the news cycles.

Saban trying to stay cutting edge, AS USUAL!!! RTR!!!

Thanks for all the info shared here, really helps those of us with severe time constraints.

How many SC coaches can you name? Doubt I could name more than 5.

Yeah, probably about five, but that's five more than before I knew who Scott Cochran was.

Could folks name offensive and defensive coordinators in the 60's, 70's, or 80's? As coaching budgets increase so does the importance of emerging technology and science (IE Strength & Conditioning, Nutrition, and Sports Science). Anyone know Jeff Allen or who held his job 10-15 years ago? Now everyone does.

I suspect Saban will get Ballou on his noon basketball team. The dude looks like he is as strong as a horse.

 

[Tidestalker]

I really don't see the big deal about replacing Cochran. Aside from the convenience of comfortability and the idea that he probably helped us slightly more in recruiting (due to his visibility and track record), ultimately he's the strength coach.

Let's not pretend like there hasn't been serious injury issues before & during the season the last 2 seasons. Or that in the biggest games we look gassed in the 4th quarter.

I'm not solely blaming him for these things, but I'm also thinking there is room for improvement. I give CNS credit for taking a risk & making a slight change in direction in the overall vision of that program. I keep saying this is a big year for him, I hope this pays off.

 

[mando]

@Tidestalker to me the Cochran issue has always been about the loss of the relationships the kids appeared to have with him. Can that be replaced sure but it will take time. Ballou may also not be that type personality. If he is not others will need to pick that part up.

 

[TerryP]

Data is everywhere, interpreting it and doing something meaningful is what separates.

I'm excited.

Windows based system, right?

One of the side stories this weekend had to do with the walk-through Saban had with these guys. There are upgrades coming in the tech world as well as with the equipment, etc. One of these upgrades is installing reporting stations on the equipment and it was said they'd be using I-pads. We're getting part of the picture there.

Iot driven? Simple network? One of the images looked like an Excel worksheet...wonder if it's a VBA deal pulling one workplace and pasting to another?

Pasting from one workbook with multiple sheets to various workbooks

I'm trying to paste from one workbook with multiple sheets to several different workbooks. Example: Workbook "X" has 50 sheets labeled 1-50. I need each sheet copied to the respective workbook "Y". Each sheet in workbook "X" can have a different range of active cells that need to be copied over...

Home - EliteForm You can see the site is IUhoosiers.eliteform.com in the picture with multiple screens open (that also resolves to a login screen). Excel is just the reporting method. Might be actual Excel sheets, might be HTML tables named as Excel (I create single tab Excel output that way for customers all the time, even formulas work if you know how to do it).
