S&C was a calling card of Stanford Football during the Golden Era. Turley had a program that emphasized functional strength, resulting in peak performance on the field and extremely low injury rates.
Things haven't been as strong in this department in recent years. Stewart Mandel detailed how Turleys intensive "Taking the Rope" drill was shut down by administrators and Shaw in 2017, on of many signs that Stanfords identity of toughness was deteriorating. Turley of course was gone a year later, for a behavioral incident which some here may know varying levels of detail about.

I stumbled upon a video of BYU's strength and conditioning work this offseason. It looks very intense:
Right now the strength coach is Ryan Deatrick, in his second season from Sac State, a TT hire obviously. His experience is below, hopefully he is building a monster with this team, because we have looked physically overmatched many times on the field in recent years.

David Shaw announced his resignation Saturday after the Cardinal lost 35-26 to BYU. But where did it all go wrong?
