Carrington was voicing his support for the coaching staff and the belief they are instilling in the program.

What is being completely disregarded in all of this is how bad it must have gotten under the old regime for players to feel so reinvigorated with the new coaching staff. Now the workout may have been grueling, but the USF Football players all proceeded through it without incident. What this shows is the consequence of skimping in prior year(s), and it has no bearing on the aptitude of the new strength and conditioning coach. 

I find that in Eugene there is this reverence for anything in the past and a desire to remain where we are at, deriding any change that happens. I think that is the case here, where so many are quick to protest the new regime just because they don't want to adapt and evolve.
