Former Michigan strength coach Ben Herbert may have been one of the most underrated coaches for the Los Angeles Chargers this offseason.Herbert, who most recently worked for the Wolverines under new LA head coach Jim Harbaugh, has been a key part of Michigan’s success. . . over the past few years.Chargers analyst and podcaster Chris Hayre broke down why Herbert was such an important hire in Los Angeles.”Ben is a monster. This guy is unbelievable.
When you see him, you know … he’s a strength coach. The other thing is that he’s very in tune with physical performance and physical performance evaluation, so he does stretching, flexibility and measurements when guys come in. He is open to sports science and all kinds of analysis. He is very open to everything and then he gets results. The money will tell you every year at the combine that the Michigan guys put up those incredible numbers. Ben knows how to get the most out of players performance… He’s a guy that players love and respond to.
