Patriots let go of Harold Nash (Strength & Conditioning Coach)

McDaniels better be next, can't believe he kept calling plays where he wanted Cannon to stand there and not block anybody I mean HELLO! And how about calling for an interception when we're backed up inside the 20?

And unless Charlie Weis is walking thru that door who would you replace him with?
No way Josh isnt brought back facts there are no upgrades out there fact there are no offensive coordinator jobs for him to realistically get.
Bill and Tom love Josh no way he is gone he could still be the heir down the road to some posters shagrin.

Technique and technology are always changing.

I don't think it's just about the injuries as there is some luck factor you have to account for but I had the impression the team was gassed sometimes and not playing 60 minutes in full intensity.

I was kidding, McDaniels is a fine coordinator, probably one of the best in the league.

I never liked Nash

I always said he was the Marc Trestman of strength and conditioning coaches

Nash didnt do enough flexibility training!! ( completely baseless on my part)

Here comes his replacement.........Dr Alex Guerrero!

Training methods matter.

Great example is former UFC HW champ Cain Velasquez. Dude constantly pulls out of fights and gets injured and is known for having a pretty questionable workout routine and coach

Surprised by this one.. can you hold a coach accountable for ACL/MCL injuries and broken bones???

Not for everything but there were a lot of pulled muscles and things of that nature too, maybe BB didn't feel like they were in top condition which can lead to injuries too.

I have to disagree pal. Did you see how many quarterback hits he called? I'm tired of running play after play designed to put Brady in the turf! McDaniels has to go!

If there are better ways of training to prevent injuries, and BB thinks Nash wasn't getting it done, then of course you can hold the coach accountable.

For instance, everyone's bashing Chip Kelly now, but some of his fitness stuff really did work with the Eagles. We should be happy BB is not just looking at the injury epidemic as "oh gee, bad luck" and actually working to do something about it.

Belichick should troll with the NFL and hire Charles Sly in some capactity.
The Internet would explode

Why not? Works for TB. There were waaaaay to many injuries. Solders injury was disturbing. Many others were as well and you need to make a change. I've never seen a team with so many injuries.

He may or may not be the best, but I think if you polled all the coaches in the league, they'd almost certainly rank him in the top quarter.

Blount, Dobson & Easley were all injuries that could have probably been avoided by better conditioning/training programs.

Mayo & Solder both had torn upper body muscle injuries which would be harder to prevent, but maybe still possible.

Add in players didn't look super conditioned and in a few games looked gassed late in the game/before the half.

Interesting. Seems like the general consensus is usually it's football/injuries happen, but...

I'd say to an extent.

So we are saying often injured Aaron Dobson have an excuse now?

I hope our WR Scouts are next how are those guys even collecting a paycheck???

How about Chad O'Shea for his apparent inability to consistently develop receivers? He's coached the WRs since 2009...who have the Pats developed in that time? Is Edelman the only one? (genuinely can't think of anyone else from memory)
