If they leave it won’t be because of money. Just count on Saban to do whatever is necessary to keep them if he wants to keep them*.![]()

this is the one position in football that I think the college game is in a better position than the pro game. People know the S&C coaches at the college level. I can’t recall a pro coach. Plus the research at a university , I would think , would have greater potential than at a pro level. Having said that, there could be something said for establishing cutting edge sports medicine at the professional sports level, using fully mature athletes instead of developing athletes.![]()

I agree, most of the pro athletes follow their own regimen provided by their own personal trainers.this is the one position in football that I think the college game is in a better position than the pro game.

Great point.I agree, most of the pro athletes follow their own regimen provided by their own personal trainers.
That would be a huge waste of their talent...![]()

Amid reports of being suited by the Saints, David Ballou sends subliminal tweet in favor of staying put at Alabama
David Ballou is entering his third season as Alabama’s Director of Sports Performance. He and Dr. Matt Rhea came to Tuscaloosa together in 2020 as the Crimson Tide’s new strength staff. The duo cut down Alabama’s soft tissue injuries by 50 percent, and it allowed the Tide to have an undefeated...tdalabamamag.com
i agree but i wonder what the money difference is here.That would be a huge waste of their talent...
Forty-five egotistical football players versus a couple hundred different athletes (mostly with a good attitude). That is a no-brainer.![]()
Average NFL salary for a S&C coach is $500k/year.i agree but i wonder what the money difference is here.
It’s an ambitious feeler… I’ve followed Alabama S&C and I think that Ballou and Rhea are a huge part of the secret sauce that makes Alabama elite. My money says that they get a nice incentive to stay at Alabama and that they will stay at Alabama.I dont think we lose either..............
Give ‘em each $50k and a nice new Nick Saban Mercedes for the wife and keep them at home.Average NFL salary for a S&C coach is $500k/year.
David Ballou makes $525k/year a year and Matt Rhea makes $475k/year a year.
IOW, money won't be the deciding factor - Bama can match anything the NFL will throw at them.
I concur………. They like it at Bama and have the facilities they wantIt’s an ambitious feeler… I’ve followed Alabama S&C and I think that Ballou and Rhea are a huge part of the secret sauce that makes Alabama elite. My money says that they get a nice incentive to stay at Alabama and that they will stay at Alabama.
The secret sauce beats the not-so-secret "juice" that used to fuel a football "strength and conditioning program." S&C coaching has come a long (long) way - and to think CFB has Auburnt and the National Ster, er, Strength Research Center to "thank" for itIt’s an ambitious feeler… I’ve followed Alabama S&C and I think that Ballou and Rhea are a huge part of the secret sauce that makes Alabama elite. My money says that they get a nice incentive to stay at Alabama and that they will stay at Alabama.
Yeah, no steroids in the NFL now...The secret sauce beats the not-so-secret "juice" that used to fuel a football "strength and conditioning program."
maybe it’s just me, but it seems there are a lot of people leaving that program at odd times in the sports calendar. For no apparent or an unknown reason.Hmmm…maybe. But on its face it doesn’t make sense.
Gee, I really hate that for them...maybe it’s just me, but it seems there are a lot of people leaving that program at odd times in the sports calendar. For no apparent or an unknown reason.
