We made a venture to Oxford, Mississippi and checked out the Rebels in action as they worked a speed and agility session under Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Paul Jackson. The workout took place in their impressive indoor facility conveniently located right next to their football strength training complex. Open a door and you're on the field! Here's a few pics
Where's Dr. Ted Lambrinides? .... in Oxford Mississippi at The University of Mississippi: Ole Miss
He's with Ole Miss Rebels Coach Paul Jackson discussing sports science. Jackson came to Oxford after spending 2011 at Southern Miss, where he oversaw the strength and conditioning for the entire USM athletics department with direct responsibility over football. In his one season there, the football team had its best record in history at 12-2 and captured the Conference USA championship.
Jackson arrived in Hattiesburg after serving in 2010 as the Director of Athletic Conditioning for Football at Miami (Ohio). In his lone season, he helped the Redhawks to the 2010 MAC championship and a victory in the 2011 GoDaddy.Com Bowl, becoming the first team in NCAA history to go from double-digit losses to double-digit wins in one year (1-11 in 2009 to 10-4 in 2010).
From 2007-10, Jackson served as an assistant strength coach at LSU, working directly with the Tigers football and volleyball teams. During his time in Baton Rouge, Jackson won an SEC and national championship with the football team as well as three consecutive SEC Western Division and one SEC championship with the volleyball team. While working for the Tigers, Jackson worked under and was mentored by strength and conditioning legend Tommy Moffitt.
