Perry Orth might have a point here. Anyhow interesting about his thoughts on all the Injuries under Boom. He talked about the team being so beat up. Could be due to possible overwork. Talked about while he played under Spurrier the team would have Sundays off unless going to trainer, stuff like that. Now under Muschamp if the team wins then on Sundays they have meetings and a walk through but if they lose, they put on the pads and have a practice. One of Boom's players said it is rough getting done with a game at 11:00pm and then be back to practice fields in pads by 10:00 am next morning.

I know you cannot treat the young men with kid gloves, But really that is a bit extreme right there. When Muschamp says in his weekly press conference that Tuesday was not a good practice, maybe it is due to being worn out. Let's see now with Dabo's program has had many players say they don’t even get close to the minimum amount of time allowed by NCAA for practice. Perhaps or most likely that helps them out with injuries, etc. Yes of course we all know they have a much easier schedule helps but still your getting hit and hitting back. It is hard to argue his methods as they are working and for second year in a row our team is fading down the stretch. It might answer why team does so poorly in second halves, to go along with poor adjustments by coaches.

 
He's an effort coach but not one that's shown any ability to adapt or incorporate new ideas. He is who he was when we guess him. I'm not angry with the man, but he's clearly to blame for his own lack of success

 
Not specific to football, but any sport. Recovery time is crucial to being able to perform a peak levels. 

 
Well, they definitely do look slow and tired at times.  Year over year we appear to have high numbers of injuries.  I'm not sure how this compares to other teams or past Gamecock teams but it just seems high.  Maybe attention is brought to it due to all the other struggles on the field now. 

 
FWIW Zandi said the same thing on Twitter. 

I can see getting a light lift/work out on sunday then time in the training room, but going full pads is ridiculous. At times, I thought that Spurriers approach was too little contact in practice, but there has to be some type of happy medium. 

 
Clearly Muschamp has his beliefs and sticks to them. And not just for workouts. 
 

I always believed adaptability was a quality one needed to be successful, in anything.

You're right about that but Boom has shown very little ability to adapt.

 
LOL.  Most of the people commenting negatively about the practice schedule are the same people who lit him up for not using up all of the practice schedules for last year's bowl disaster, when Muschamp stated that he thought the team would benefit from additional recovery time.

I'm hardly a Muschamp apologist, but second guessing both sides of the argument is pretty funny.  Your opinions are bound to be right with that strategy.  Damn him if he does, and damn him if he doesn't.

I think there is a bit of a difference between taking a day or two off (no contact) and a few weeks. Of course, neither approach has lead to success on the field so go figure.

Definitely agree with the results.  My point is that if there are people nitpicking and second guessing everything.  If tackling was an issue (as it has been in years past), they would be complaining about full contact tacking drills during practice.  If they were complaining about our team lacking toughness, or being too soft, they would complain because coach had the team running Oklahoma drills during practice.

Because football is the flagship sport for the University, some of it's fans lose all perspective when discussing it.

"non-contact practices"

 
Sundays should be for rest, film and seeing trainers. Its like a fighter, he/she doesn't get back in ring the next day. let the body recover and let this brain calm down. then on Monday, fire that engine back up!

 
I did not realize that this was his policy.  Are there other teams that practice the Sunday after the game? His strength and training manager should give expert advice concerning recovery. Maybe osterine would help. 

 
If they really want to go full pads, maybe use it as a time for the younger players who didn't play the day before to get some reps.  Give the guys who played the day off.  This is insane. 

 
One interesting point I’ve been meaning to bring up was from a few Bama fans perspective. I was checking out one of their boards after our game with them.  They were complimentary of our team but one observation that was floating around over there... They said it looked like we play TOO hard.  To the point it was actually hurting us - both figuratively and literally.  I thought that was an interesting comment.  If guys are being coached to go too hard, might it make them more succeptable to injury?  Would this be a potential cause for some of the second half meltdowns we have?  Guys not saving anything in the tank?   Just food for thought.  Our boys definitely go hard.

That makes some sense when you say it. Playing under control is always an important concept, and when you look back at some of QB's play in particular, they seem like at times they are out of control, trying to make something happen, only to have a disaster occur.
