Football Dwight Galt retiring…
- Thread starter PSUcup1
- Start date
That is the biggest loss of the offseason.
Dwight was Director of Performance Enhancement. Does anyone have his email address? I wonder if he would be available for a personal consultation.
Hopefully there are a few assistants who know his methods. Galt has been a great asset.
I believe that Galts methods are great for the combine and skill players …. But I have to think his methods are contributing in some way to the lackluster line play.
there have been 3 constants in the program over the last 8 years…
james Franklin
Dwight Galt
Poor o line play
would not shock me if DG was encouraged to hang them up

How so? This team has been soft as charmin up front offensively for 8 seasons.
Well, there seems to be a difference between being strong and being soft.... muck and muscle, getting down and dirty and reveling in beating the crap outta his opponent is about the kid... building the base to make that happen was Galt's job.
Recruiting tough mothers who love blood and snot and live to punish their opposite... that's about character.
i saw guys physically capable of being so much better play like wieners more often than not... that's not on Galt. At least I haven't been convinced as yet... but i'm always open to hearing a different pov... sometimes i come away convinced.
I don't think that is true... our OLine has been and so have some of our DL's but I wouldn't go further than that. All about character... either ya got balls or ya don't. They had plenty of muscle... looks like hercules, plays like bambi applied far too often.
Question: Can Galt's methods be excellent for quick twitch athletes like WRs, Safeties, OLBs, and Running Backs.....but not as great for the big boys OL and DL?
Asking out of ignorance. Our RBs, WRs, D ends, Safetys look similar in stature to the Georgias, OSUs and Alabamas.
Our OL and DTs do not look the same as the playoff teams. Is it recruiting the big boys....certainly a part of the answer or is it training methods? I think also a part of the problem.
On the whole what Galt has done for PSU has been excellent........the one gap seems to be in the interior of the OL and the interior of the DL......thoughts?

Yep. let's go back to Joe's HIT. When Joe had HIT poster were pulling their hair out that we were not doing squats, other heavy lifts. Galt brought that and those posters rejoiced. Now he is/was the problem??? It's the RPO scheme boys that makes our OL look bad in the run game.
All lifting routines are based on position played. Not a one size fits all. Been in the weight room when the team is lifting. I can confirm this is the case.
It’s definitely Franklin’s goofy scheme. It’s the underlying problem every season.
