Mailbag question: Regarding Coach Rod's system:

Eroc and Coach,
Great site!

I was wondering regarding Coach Rod's system what will be the biggest things for the team to learn coming from the "old regime" at Michigan to his new system along with what will the coaches learn about the players during the spring?

Thanks for the question. Biggest difference is the intensity Coach Rod and staff requires during practice and S&C. Coach Rod and staff use speed to stress the defense. They are always demanding more and faster from the team. This style of play requires a mental toughness along with physical conditioning. (IMO) 75% or more of the game is mental. What staff is learning is who on the roster has the mental toughness and physical skill set to play this brand of football. They are also checking to see if players need to change positions to be successful in new system. Michigan might not be 13-0 this year, but they no longer will be out worked. That (IMO) is a major upgrade.
