You know an Elite program when you see it THIS is Elite

[@SatansShart]

Lol… You can find vids like this of pretty much any competitive program

[@entertainment7307_5]

“There is no Choice”… Let’s Go!

[@pdexBigTeacher]

Man; Herbert is the freakin' truth. The new guy has big shoes and big 🏈🏈 to fill. I haven't played football since high school in '78 and this got me hyped to put the gear on again.

[@Jj-mu6hg]

That ric flair clap was hard 😂😂😂🔥🔥

[@WiiZURD]

No a Michigan fan at all but this shit got me pumped up.

[@rickeyballard13]

Glad we retained Tress

[@DarthSmittious14]

Man!! He’s gonna be missed at Michigan!

[@Adam-vs2in]

Man was Herbert valuable or what? He knew exactly how to push those guys and them buying into it was the key.

[@cliffacook]

This is old video. Herb is at the chargers w/Harbaugh now.

[@samariohoward6298]

does that matter tho..its the culture and work ethic that matters

[@dp-116]

You are very wise grasshopper

[@JohnnyFarcry]

We have Justin Tress now who was his right hand man. Same culture, same passion, same results

He is going to be missed. Hopefully new strength coach is as great as coach Herb. Go Blue!

[@King_Showtime]

Justin Tress, he was in this video he was coach Herbs right hand man

[@arymniak1]

Good Western PA guy.

[@chriskeys778]

And this is why Michigan out toughs every opponent. Especially that team below us!

[@miltonoliver3705]

It has nothing to do with being able to pay guys who wouldn't have went to u of m, having 5 dominant linemen, all got drafted lol, an having great defenses, this year it will probably be 3- 4 defenders taken in the 1- 2 rounds, let me let in in a secret all strength staffs are doing the same stuff, it's comes down to players

[@daddytrillbedf2068]

u mean out cheat? Michigan cheated all year last year. gtfoh!

[@DeshCanter]

@@miltonoliver3705 Players and culture. Some schools are finishing schools for the NFL draft and many of their recruits treat those programs that way. At Michigan you’re expected to put out for the team and the tradition…if you’re a 5-star and you’re not “feeling” that, go to Ohio State, sport your Guccis, and get drafted high, after losing to top-5 teams who play as teams with heart. Go Blue.

[@miltonoliver3705]

@DeshCanter Michigan always had talent, look up over the last 10 years they are in top 10 of draft picks, they now could get guys who would have gone elsewhere and it helps OSU has coordinator as a head coach best case, now u of m can buy guys that wouldn't have gone there to put them over the top

[@DeshCanter]

@@miltonoliver3705 Fact: Michigan had the 14th most talented roster last year. Coach Moore has stated that he will continue Harbaugh’s policy of paying production, not Highschool talent rankings. We shall see how that works out in this new era of “Bought Not Built.” The new rules play to Ohio State’s favor.

“Lil late” with this...

[@michaelrockow5461]

MGoBlue had this up last Fall. They made this series for a few sports. There was a women's basketball series and a gymnastics series.

[@kevinjackson2122]

Yeah, but why are we releasing this video? So that OSU can copy what we are doing?

[@changagorham181]

AGAIN, THEY HAVE TO BE ABLE TO STOP IT! 💪🏿💯〽️ CIRCA - THE PREVIOUS THREE SEASONS

[@jayandrusiak]

This video didn’t give anything specific away… none of these are workouts that haven’t been used before

[@kevinjackson2122]

Are both of you slow or something?? Who cares about a workout? Every team has a strength and conditioning team. I'm referring to the team building and camaraderie that's created through struggle. Short videos like this gives others a glimpse into what they have been missing. Now other programs are going to spend millions on people leaders like Ben Herbert to make their teams tougher, and to unify their players through struggle. Whereas all they cared about before was making players bigger, stronger, and faster. Herbert focused on making players physically and mentally tougher off the field as a group, and that gave Michigan an edge.

[@changagorham181]

@@kevinjackson2122 NAH, YOU'RE C-L-E-A-R-L-Y slow AF......Even after your soliloquy, THEY S-T-I-L-L HAVE TO LINE UP ON THE FIELD AND WIN THE GAME. Have they (OSU) done that the last three years? NO! #I_SAID_WHAT_I_SAID

[@changagorham181]

@@kevinjackson2122 You even tried to bring other programs into your weak ass rebuttal and that's not the original topic. Grow up, your point was smashed and you can't admit you took the wrong path. Have a great day Champ!

[@whyimsmarterthanyou]

They retired Saban. Dude just gave tf up. The South is still crying.

"Strength and Character"... funny coming from Michigan.

Haters gonna hate.

This is all well and good but Coach Ben Herbert is no longer with the team.
