Was the S&C program partly responsible for Will Grier's UF downfall?

[GatorJB]

I think it is probable that Grier would never had gotten himself into trouble if we had a competent S&C program at the time. That may have been why McElwain forced Grier out. It draws all of the attention on Grier instead of what was lacking in the S&C program.

Nord and Nuss were truly awful hires, but one could argue that Mike Kent was the worst hire of all. His incompetence really affected the entire team.

Lots of alluding to it by some beat writers. Even before the suspension.

Also Grier wasn't the only player involved.

Personally I feel UF’s downfall started when they went to Pepsi... ;-)

You'd have to be fairly specific to point to coke. Even inferences without supporting evidence would be highly unprofessional.

Did he have the sniffles? Powder on his beard? Twitchy and nervous acting? Tried to bum a cigarette off a writer?

Dunno. Strikes me as out there. Then again, out there seemed to follow Grier every step of the way.

We could send in Kramer to do some investigating...he could wear the mohair sweater and have a polaroid camera in tow!!

Here's the scenario I envision:

Grier, after a demanding session of stretches and yoga poses stops by the nutrition counter on his way out of the weight room. "Hey Will, coach made a PBJ specially for you. it'll help you get swole!" shouts geriatric aerobics instructor, Mike Kent. Grier immediately drives to GNC and asks for two of everything

Now I seem to remember some people on here saying the PEDs were supplied by the S&C before the story changed.... does any one think an S&C this pathetic would know anything about PEDs?

He wanted to get stronger, better.

Even though the timeline had Grier experimenting with the banned substance as early as July 2015, it's likely he wasn't getting much guidance or support from the staff.

Going back and revisiting the Mac experience is like remembering a failed marriage. You're not sure whether to laugh, cry or spit.

An apt analogy if ever there were one.

 

[lizardbreath]

Grier assured me Coke is the real thing.

In my day, it was the pause that refreshes.

 

[ChiefGator]

I voted yes, but I wonder how our nutrition program is going. It was thought to be one of the best but talk is easy, actual work is more difficult. In the end of course he is responsible for going there and taking whatever he took.

 

[lizardbreath]

There is every reason to suspect that the pathetic wheeze of a S&C program "run" by Kent, may have resulted in this disaster, as well as others that only showed up as ass whippings at the hands of properly trained teams. Of course, the real culprits in all of this are JM, and JF for hiring him in the first place.

You cant have hookers n blow w/o the blow.

Amen brother.

Looks like it's no longer an issue.

Is it possible that this advance in conditioning does not result in more wins?

 

[GatorJ]

Is it possible that this advance in conditioning does not result in more wins?

Yes. Because our quarterback is terrible.

 

[Ancient Reptile]

Yes. Because our quarterback is terrible.

And we didn't have a terrible quarterback last year?

 

[GatorJ]

And we didn't have a terrible quarterback last year?

We did. So yes we’ll have more than four wins.

 

[Ancient Reptile]

We did. So yes we’ll have more than four wins.

I am skipping 5 and going straight to 6 wins.

All close personal friends of Butterteeth for a long time.

Two of you have alluded to a Grier blow issue. Curious how much substantiation there is to it.

NONE....
