Dan Mullen brings Nick Savage from MSU as Strength and Conditioning Coach

During the 2014-15 seasons, Nick Savage served as the assistant strength coach at Mississippi State, becoming popular with the players and coaching staff, before being promoted as head of the strength and conditioning program at State in 2016.

Savage has gained experience at four different FBS programs since January 2013. He interned at Bowling Green from January 2013-May 2013 and then at Ohio State from May 2013-January 2014. Savage worked with Rick Court and renowned strength coach Mickey Marotti with the Buckeyes.

Savage served as a graduate assistant at Toledo for five months before arriving in Starkville. He was instrumental in developing the Bulldogs into one of the nation’s fittest teams while serving as an assistant during the 2014 campaign that saw MSU spend five weeks atop the polls and earn its highest Associated Press poll finish since 1940 (No. 11).

The Youngstown, Ohio, native earned his undergraduate degree in exercise science from Youngstown State in 2013. He completed his master’s degree from Toledo in recreation administration in 2016. Savage attended Boardman High School in Youngstown.

Again, in contrast to our LAST coupla coaches, every gaping hole is being quickly and directly addressed--and THIS one (Strength & Conditioning) may well be of most immediate AND longterm importance besides the Head Coach hire himself.
We all have long suspected, with growing concern, that something was fundamentally wrong with our strength, fitness--our weakness and tendency toward injury.
Now this obviously does NOT include the latest disappointing loss of one of our best recent recruits, freshman Robinson on Defense, the result of a congenital heart condition. But elsewhere the decline in toughness and spread of injuries more serious and widespread each season since Mickey's departure has been clear and pronounced. Another sign of the slide in discipline both physical and emotional, finally explicit effort is being made here and now to stop and reverse that trend. Should it succeed to the degree we all hope (and I believe that these moves will positively achieve), all other moves (and the time it will take for results to take hold, intensify and build) will be enhanced. We could be "BACK" sooner than anyone expects.
