We all need to get behind this momentum and PROMOTE, PROMOTE, PROMOTE. #LockArms.

I'm all for promotion and locking arms but sh1tting on other schools does nothing for us.

Several years ago, Sports Illustrated did a long article about the rise of the S&C coach with all the rules the NCAA puts on other coaches, but I cannot seem to easily find it.

That starts with workouts. Of all the hires Klieman made, none were more important than keeping strength and conditioning coach Jim Kramer.

"He was the No. 1 focal point," Klieman said. "I know Craig was trying to get him at Wyoming, and we were trying to keep him.

"Jim loves it here. He has a great bond with our players. They’re with the strength coach 12 months out of the year."

It was Klieman's biggest recruiting victory. New Washington coach Chris Petersen echoed that sentiment, telling Greg Bishop of Sports Illustrated about the importance of hiring good strength coaches:

They're everything. Finally people are starting to figure out how valuable [strength and conditioning coaches] are. They're starting to get paid better. I mean, they probably spend, and I don't even think it's a probably, they do spend more time than myself or the assistants with these kids. That was my first hire, and probably my most important.

The funniest part, is after being documented as a total tool, the froggie says he is going to call their university president about it. I think the Baylor coaches would get raises for restraining themselves from punching that wussy in the mouth.
