As a strength coach with a master's degree in exercise science, I can say that Yancey is a great coach.Being an ISU grad, I have gone back and watched some workouts and picked his brain. He knows his stuff and he knows how to coach and motivate each athlete. I have watched Jed Smith's workouts at UNI and I have a transfer that I coach from UNI....very very very unimpressed with everything I have seen from him. I had an assistant turn down a job at NDSU because he was unimpressed with Kramer. Coach Kramer had to ask him what some exercises on his sample workout were....it was basic stuff like goblet squats and t spine rotation that every strength coach should be familiar with. Bottom line is there are great and bad coaches and strength coaches at every level. Talent is the biggest factor in winning games. As strength coaches we spend 14+ hours a day training athletes; balancing between prep work (glute activation, hip mobility, t spine mobility etc), plyometrics, explosive triple extension movements, squats, single leg work, posterior chain work, core stabilization, linear and lateral speed development, educating guys on supplements etc. Always reevaluating your balance and trying to do it within the allotted number of hours. And everyone always has all the answers for what you need to be doing more of and less of. My prediction is that Herman and Yancey end up at a high profile school in a few years and are competing for championships.
