Shaping up.
You probably read yesterday’s The Clarion-Ledger article on new MSU strength coach Jim Nowell. It seems as if things have been corrected in the conditioning program - one of the main problems with the previous regime.
I, for one, don’t blame Mike Grant for the overall lack of strength and stamina over the past three or four years. Coach Grant had a tough job keeping players motivated and disciplined because the man at the top had little interesting in such things. I don’t know why, but Jackie Sherrill paid scant attention to making sure players were doing what they were supposed to do. That translates into half-hearted or missed workouts. Without the extra conditioning staff, Grant was left to make the best of a bad situation. Add to that, the lack of upperclass leadership pick up the slack for Grant and it’s easy to see why we were pushed around so much last year.
