First, this new strength coach is in trouble if the players want to sue.  His qualifications are lacking.  No exercise science or anatomy.  Just a recreational degree along with marketing.  Second, the new head coach mentioned bigger and stronger.  This strength coach is doing the opposite.  You don't dominate your opponent by doing pushups and updowns.  You get fit but not dominant.  

The way you get dominant is to lift big weights: Bench 400+, Parallel Squat 600+, Power Clean 300+.  You do multi-joint lifts.  You supplement this with flexibility, speed and jump training (plyometrics).  This is basic stuff.  

If the Oregon Duck football team doesn't get smart quick with their strength and conditioning, they will have to find another way to gain an edge.  It won't be in the weight room.
