I am reserving final judgement on our S&C Program and I realize Burns has a lean body type but I am quite surprised he was able to bulk up to 249 lbs in such a short time. Obviously this is not bad weight as his agility will be rigorously tested at the combine. That said, what are the chances that we have made 2 sub par hires as head S&C guys under 2 different coaches?
I realize that guys have more dedicated time to train for the combine and physical maturity may also be in play but it seems as though we could have gotten more gains out of Burns in 3 years if his frame is capable of adding this much weight in a few months. Coach O appears to be more into endurance and speed opposed to size and strength (not sure what coach Vic's focus was).
Thats great in some conferences (and needed for our fast paced offense) but not so sure how we will hold up against the Clemsons and SEC teams of the world.
