Pendleton said it was a courageous and innovative move for Mendenhall to make, that he would trust Wintrich to change and rearrange the entire conditioning staff as well as change almost everything in that training area of the football program. “People need to credit Mendenhall for the change,” he said. “I love coach Wintrich,” defensive end Bronson Kaufusi said Friday after a spirited workout. “He’s brought in new things, everyone has bought into what he’s teaching and are excited about the workouts. It’s all about speed and power, and we love what’s going on.” Another linebacker, Fred Warner, echoed the sentiment. “I think his program is great for our team. We’ve been going fast and hard for the last couple of months now. The program he’s instilled is to not just get us faster and stronger but to avoid injuries, which was a big isus last year. As a person I love his intensity and love for the game. He comes to work fired up every day ready to get into it. He comes into the meeting room with a loud voice and intensity and is juiced up. He makes sure we get the message.” Pendleton gives a little wiggle room to his enthusiasm, but not much. “I’ve been around to a lot of places to see all kinds of training,” said Pendleton. "There’s no perfect training method, not with Frank and not with what I do, but this is headed in the right direction. I’m excited about it.” read more: http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865631133/BYU-football-offseason-workouts-draw-praise-from-current-and-former-players.html?pg=all&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F

North Texas head coach Dan McCarney confirmed Tuesday night that Frank Wintrich, the team's Director of Football Performance, is leaving the Mean Green to accept a position at BYU. This was first reported by Brett Vito at the Denton Record-Chronicle. Wintrich seems all but set to be the replacement for Jay Omer, 43-year strength coaching veteran who announced his retirement from BYU in November. Omer was the head strength and conditioning coach. (Typically, a head strength and conditioning coach at a school like BYU is assigned directly to the football team and oversees assistant coaches, graduate assistants, and interns who are assigned across other sports.) Wintrich has some connection to the BYU staff, having been an associate strength coach at Utah State in the year current Cougar linebacker coach Kelly Poppinga spent as a player with the Aggies before transferring to BYU. (Hat tip to Ben Criddle for the lead there.) However, Wintrich oversaw non-football sports at Utah State.

Excellent segment on Coach Wintrich inspiring cultural change through the warrior's mindset. Coach Frank is responsible for a huge part of the success we are experiencing and will continue to experience. Love what he does and how he does it. All of our coaches and how they work together as a team is reflected in our football team: character, integrity, discipline, enthusiam, belief in each other, and belief that with the right mindset, with undying effort, with the will do something that has never been done before...anything is possible. Love that they believe in the Mean Green.
