coaches other than S&C could not participate in off-season conditioning. They showed Harsin, Searles, and Chambers leading drills. Am I wrong or did LHN just send Mack into RichRod’s corner?

This is spring practice and considered part of the "playing season."

NCAA Division I Manual

17.1.1 Playing Season. The playing (practice and competition) season for a particular sport is the period of time between the date of an institution’s first officially recognized practice session and the date of the institution’s last practice session or date of competition, whichever occurs later.

17.9.6.4 Spring Practice. [FBS/FCS] Fifteen postseason practice sessions [including intrasquad scrimmages and the spring game permitted in Bylaw 17.9.5.2-(a)] are permissible.

I have not grown fully accustomed to the new energy from our coaches. This still makes me giddy.

Love it. Just love it. I mean the fact that I don’t have to do it and my favorite football team does.

I think the best part of these workouts for the coaches and the worst part for the players is the fact that it happens at 6 am. It is tough to work that hard that early but it forces the team to shift their schedules so that they aren’t out late getting into trouble. It works on so many levels.

I really love the fact that I see the team doing bear crawls. That was a staple of off-season workouts when I played. They were the most tiring thing to do but they really help you learn to move fast and work hard while staying low to the ground. I know the old Permian state champions teams did a lot of them too.

Angry in the dark gym.
