Season-ending injuries for both, and Little opting out. (He would've declared last year anyways had he been healthy.) How does the coaching staff have anything to do with that?
It doesn’t. Unless you buy the argument that injuries are on the staff. And the only way to truly analyze that is to catalogue the injuries to try to make a determination relating to strength and conditioning. Not sure how one would do that. I suppose there could be some category of injuries that are determinative of S and C success. Others just a manifestation of good or bad luck.
As for S and C The front the o-line was considerably bigger and stronger this year - as observable by the push they were getting in the running game. So if there was a deficiency after Turley left (quite possible) it seemed to close some.)
Take the Niners this year. More injuries then I’ve seen. Do you truly think the Niners lack a strong S and C program? Or that the players themselves aren’t highly conditioned.
Injuries, I believe, are primarily a function of luck, or lack thereof.
