He had us do plenty of stretching. And for the 40 times are you considering the measurement tools and how they compare to the combine and hand times?
I wouldn't call rolling on the foam roller stretching, but that's just me.
Honestly visually they looked slow and this is right before spring ball when guys have been lifting and doing "speed" training. The times were slow as well (if I'm not mistaken I think hand and a system were taken).
Unfortunately his methods are out of date. Especially his lack of position specific training. A linemen does not need the same attributes as a wide receiver and vice versa. It seems you are a big supporter of his. I know players and coaches across the country and this just isn't it. The players I've seen develop across the country are similar to ours, but have a great strength training program that is up to date and position specific. That is why they are faster, more explosive, and agile than us. We aren't playing D2 football (where Baukol's methods were successful... we are playing D1 now).
However, I completely agree that players diets are absolute garbage. I've seen this and the dining halls are where the concern lays. Should have a food hall for athletes only to monitor diets for all sports programs (this is what the big programs have).

So if Baukol doesn’t believe in stretching why does he have the football team stretch?
What stretching are you talking about? The warm up before practice? I don't really call that stretching. He recently implemented new concepts before weights, but that was due to Coach Fantuzzi (great coach!). He does not believe in static stretching. This was told directly to me by him. So that would be a question for him. We could definitely use a better strength coach. He does not know how to develop fast, explosive, and durable athletes imo. He knows strong... I remember when we did our 40 times and how awful they were even by our best.

Id like your to provide some examples from major programs. It’s the kind of thing I notice and I can’t think of it happening at any big programs.
Sorry for the late response. I've been to camps across the country and what the FBS guys do is black out the shoes (probably something we should have them do). Arkansas state is a program I remember talking to that allowed it.

Well that was embarrassing. Where does the program currently sit?
1. Our WR group is too slow/white. It just is what it is. Our WR does not look D1. Tall slow white boys can ball but if that’s all you have it makes it really hard to get separation against even an average secondary.
2. OL too small. This position group has been a disaster under Bubba.
3. DL too small. This position has also been a huge problem under Bubba. You just can’t run a 3-4 with smallish DL. We either need to recruit DL with body types like what Weber State has or we need to change to a 4 man front.
4. Clock management..... that’s all I need to say about that.
5. Our RB group was neglected for 3 years and it shows. Somehow all these other teams can find dynamic big strong backs. We haven’t had one in a while, that needs to change.
6. OLB depth? Not good enough. We only went a legit 3 deep this year.
7. Safety play has been poor since Reyes left. Bubba has really struggled with safeties for a guy who used to coach secondaries.
8. Overall we lack size and athleticism. Is this SC coach’s fault or is it recruiting? Or both?
Personally I feel like Bubba has done what he’s capable of at UND. I don’t know about you but I’m not ok with barely making the playoffs and getting our !@#$ pushed in and that being considered the second best season under him.
I think you are on the right track on most points... Especially recruiting more athletic WR's and bigger linemen. However, I think our strength training is the worst in the country. I have been in quite a few programs and talked to many players across the country. I also dealt with the current st coach. He is stuck in the 1970's and has no idea what it takes to be a top tier athlete now days. Doesn't even believe in stretching... (Hence all of our injuries). Believes you should work out while injured or thinks you are a pu***. Was one of the reasons I almost didn't go to UND because he seemed like the biggest negative when I went on the OV back in the day. Doesn't do position specific lifting either. Linemen do the same lifts as receivers... Let that sink in.

Why does our punter wear Nike shoes? We have an adidas deal. Not a good look for us, makes us look like a Hs team.
Many athletes across college football do this. Especially kickers/punters. It's like a baseball glove and coaches understand that. Even FBS schools allow this.

the snap still seemed to be getting back a little slow at the end of the year but the punter definitely sped up his delivery in the last couple of games.
I agree. If the snapper isn't snapping the ball back there in 0.7 seconds... Get a new snapper. Snappers are a dime a dozen. Slow snaps have been a problem for quite a long time. If a punter is just rushing to get his punts off he will have no rythym. Rythym = good punts. No rythym = mediocre punts.

Either the punter is too slow or the protection is awful.
It's the protection. We've had protection issues about every year now.

That's why I said "it seems". I would of said "you are" if I was putting words in someones mouth. However sorry about that.
Like with everyone, there will be some positives and negatives they do. Just depends on your view. With him, there are more negatives than positives from what I've seen.
