I have been saying for quite some time that he is quite possibly the second most important person on the staff. Coach Scott is the man, and I love how he call Valchos, "Nachos!":biggrin:

Great article! Unfortunately he won't be our secret weapon for long when articles like this start popping up.
I agree 100% with ya..But it's great to see him get props for the awesome job he's done..I'm not worried to much about him leaving..I've read him & his wife absolutely love it in Tuscaloosa..We will match & counter any offer that comes his way to keep him..Hopefully he'll have a long & successful career here at Bama..

It's true. I have never seen so many recruits talk about a Strength and Conditioning coach like they do Coach Cochran. He is an amazing asset to The Process. RTR.

"But before that Georgia game, with the press all hanging on that booming voice, he yells out, 'Yeah, they're wearing black, they're going to a (expletive) funeral!'" :redface:

Re: From that Bleacher Report article & video evidence.

He is great. However, I'd point out that the S&C coach has to have the support of the HC and the position coaches. In the last regime, that wasn't true. The S&C coach is only effective if he has support from the top down...

You make an extremely important point..It was a major factor for the implosion of the Shula Era..

TideMan09, I'd never seen the video prior to my google for Coach Cochran. So, it was new to me and others, perhaps. I didn't know he had New Orleans and LSU connections, when Coach Saban was there. Bet 'is momma gib him uh Lifebouy sammich. Dat be da NuAwlins remedy fir potty mout, and duz da sam as wassin' mout out wid sope.

Re: From that Bleacher Report article & video evidence.

I cant watch the guy without wanting to tackle somebody. That video was awesome.

Also reminds me of Caoch Saban saying that he wanted to make Bama the team other teams hate to play. That game was such a good indicator of what was to come.

What a great time to be a Bama fan!

I know exactly what you are referring to Earle, and I agree, of course Coach Cochran has the full support of Coach Saban, and therefore the rest of the staff has no choice but to support him.

A little unrelated to the topic overall, but I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction from here. There is a thread on bodybuilding.com where the strength programs of many football teams can be downloaded. A couple I have managed to get there include Florida, Michigan, an old Notre Dame, and a bunch of smaller schools (like Samford). Does anyone know of a place I can get Bama's? I kinda doubt it is even possible, and even if it were, I know it would be at least somewhat close to the other programs. I would just like to have it just to say I do (and yeah, I would probably have to try it out just to say I did).

Complaining? Shucks, no! TideMan09, I counted it as positive feedback. BTW, thanks for starting the thread. Good subject.
