JFW-Bod...
The photo is from just a few weeks ago. It says he weighs 270 now. My nephew says he's earned the right to be fat.
He's in this video from 2 weeks ago, about his "divorce auction". You can see what he looks like. It's a kick to watch:

We had 30 years of Mike Gittleson and then RR brought in Brawlis who people thought was a savior and we lost a ton of games. Since then we keep getting new S&C guys who are going to change the team. S&C obviously makes a big difference, but I'm skeptical as to how much of a difference there is between one P5 program and another aside from a tolerance of PEDs.
Motivation and "Ra! Ra!" are probably a factor of S&C, but how much difference is there really in the exercises or nutrition? I'm asking. There may be a difference I can't quantify.

As soon as the team doesn't close out a game the new diet will be blamed.

We probably shouldn't be allowing the players to eat until we beat our rivals
Call me Debby Downer, but this is classic fluff. Take this quote:
"For Paye, that means breakfasts full of eggs, fruits, vegetables, waffles and protein, a diet that has energized him during classes and practices as well as changed his body."
What else does a football player eat for breakfast? Cereal? Was Tolbert like, "No eggs, fruit or whole grains for breakfast!"?

All players and coaches are seeing a change. Don Brown has a funny line about Ben Herbert starting at 2:58 of this video.Wait for it:
This is fine, but every year we get a story about how the S&C program is improved. Remember all the hype about Barwis?
Eat a Pizza and go to bed.
Generally speaking I'd say you are right on and to be fair I think most realize that. The S&C position is an important one but it isn't nuclear physics (is that a thing?). Proper programming and nutrition isn't THAT difficult . Don't get me wrong 'm not saying his overall job is easy in fact the organization and execution may be one of the hardest of any of the coaches in the program. But the fact is unless you are monumentally screwing up programining, nutrition, and tne execution you shouldn't notice a massive difference from strength coach to strength coach. This is mostly "feel good" stuff...which is cool...but I'd actually be quite concerned if there was a huge, tangible difference. That would mean past S&C coach was highly incompetant which I do not believe was the case. He just may not have been the right fit at Michigan.

The most important part of any nutrition plan is adherence. If they didn't like the foods they were supposed to eat before, it will make it difficult to follow long term.
