Ever since Coach Balis has been the S&C coach, the players seem to be in much better condition, as well as improving their ceilings while also suffering fewer injuries. I hope we can keep him for the long term. St. Brown could have had a monster year in 2018, had he another year of Balis' program, as well as Ian Book throwing to him.
Paul Longo was a terrible S&C coach. It wasn't just his methods (players were getting hurt a lot more under his eye), but also Longo's lack of actually being there, especially in the later years. I sometimes wonder how blind he was getting, prior to the news coming out last year that he had gone completely blind.
While I do give him some credit for filling in a few gaps that were present under Ruben Mendoza, I'd have to say that as the players who were coached under Mendoza left, and that the players remaining were "purely" his coaching recipients, that things were worse.
