Think what you will but his entire bio on their website is all about football. He might have dabbled in basketball from time to time but he is a football guy through and through.

Think what you will but he was also a consultant with two college programs and helped the S&C coach set up programs at another. It seems like you're trying to find any excuse to complain about this.

It is fair to question. It does appear he has more more work with football players than other sports. But does that make him a "football guy"? I don't really know that answer. I like the guy's experience. And with CAM's other staff hires being as good as promised, his judgment seems very solid. I stand by the opinion that any quality S&C coach knows enough in terms of biomechanics and sport science to train different sports, regardless of background. S&C coaches have to adapt to the individual needs of every player on the team, which IMO is much harder than learning to coach a new sport for strength. I am not worried about Marshall's competence. My only worry is if a pro sports opportunity comes along...but if that happens it will be because he is kicking @$$ here!

I am confused though. Why are we stereotyping football player workouts vs basketball players? Not all football players work out the same. DB's and wideouts have similar drills for speed, strength, and agility. Lineman have different strength exercises. Not all basketball players work out the same. Because no two players are the same. There are basic workouts players will do. Then there are player specific plans. Not sure what all of this is about in the least.

Marshall has his Twitter all updated! Also I'm not sure if anyone has already posted it but here's his comments on taking the job.

Great hire by Archie!  Marshall looks like he comes in with quite the pedigree, and he rounds out a really phenomenal staff.  As an added bonus it appears we've hired someone who is qualified to be both the athletic trainer and team chaplain.

Guys Archie has worked with him before when Clif was a consultant to Dayton's S&C program. I think he knows what he's getting.

100% agree. Glad this happened after both of us were hyping him up for a period of time. Kinda lost hope and then the announcement hit lol. Archie is assembling one of the best staffs that only his brother and Duke can truly say is better.

For anyone that was concerned about Marshall being more of a football guy, at around 1:50 he starts talking about similarities and differences between training football players and basketball players.

Yes, that was me and remain so. Doesn't mean he can't do a great job, he just has focused primarily on football player development throughout his career. There are plenty that have focused on basketball player development throughout their careers and figured we would have snagged one of those

I'd rather have a better quality guy that has to change his focus than have a lower quality guy who has devote his life to one thing.
