I'm going to tend to trust our head coach and the S&C's boss on this one... clearly Muschamp doesn't think we were strong enough or tough enough. He said that many times recently... and that all lands directly at Mariotti's feet.
Also, the rumor is that Mariotti will be the Director of Football Operations and not the S&C coach at OSU... also very interesting if he was such a great coach in the weight room. Maybe Meyer sees it now too. ________________________________ From: Charles Simpson <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, December 5, 2011 9:38 AM Subject: Re: [gatortalk] Mariotti I really don't know what to make of this. On the one hand this guy is supposed to be one of the best in the business and Meyer wants him at osu which doesn't exactly play in the land of the munchkins. On the other hand there is no doubt we've been getting pushed around the last couple of years.
