Just started training them and puts some in the Hospital.
quote:After three Oregon football players were hospitalized following recent workouts, Oregon's strength and condition coach Irele Oderinde has been suspended.
Last Tuesday, players returned for their off-season conditioning program after being away for six weeks. Workouts were lead by new strength and conditioning coach Irele Oderinde.
In a statement released by Oregon, head coach Willie Taggart said quote, "I have visited with the three young men involved in the incidents in the past few days and I have been in constant contact with their families, offering my sincere apologies. As the head football coach, I hold myself responsible for all of our football-related activities and the safety of our students must come first. I have addressed the issue with our strength and conditioning staff, and I fully support the actions taken today by the university. I want to thank our medical staff and doctors for caring for all of our young men, and I want to apologize to the university, our students, alumni and fans."
Oregon Athletic Director Rob Mullens also weight in saying, "The university holds the health, safety and well-being of all of our students in high regard. We are confident that these athletes will soon return to full health, and we will continue to support them and their families in their recoveries."
On Thursday, one player complained of muscle soreness and had symptoms of other potential exercise-related injury. Oregon says the medical staff followed protocols and told the coaches. Later, two other players said they had similar symptoms as well and were hospitalized.
Those three players were offensive linemen Doug Brenner and Sam Poutasi and tight end Cam McCormick. Riverbend Hospital confirmed that Doug Brenner had been released on Tuesday night.
Because of the situation, Oregon has suspended Oderinde for one month without pay. Jim Radcliffe, the former head football strength and conditioning coach, will take over on an interim basis. Oregon also says that moving forward, the head strength and conditioning coach will no longer report to Willie Taggart, but to Andrew Murray, the director of performance and sports science.
Oregon says that all workouts moving forward have been modified.
Just have to wonder Were the Coaches to hard or were players that far out of shape.

..then you have a NEW strength coach who wants to impress his charges on just how tough its gonna be..its also common for a training program to have HELL WEEK a testing period that establishes a baseline for each athlete so a workout program goals can be set.
and it also tells me this new coach needs a refresher course in physiology to better learn the human body's reaction to extreme exertion and how to design a better way of testing the athlete.
