In the case of Dan I know for a fact that he would have preferred to handle the weights himself but the structure at UT and UF were such that he had to farm out the management of the weight workouts.
I’ve never been forced in to this type of situation but I really would fight it as hard as possible. I personally really like to manage both the technical aspects of the weight lifting as well as the loading schema. I often make changes to the prescribed workout on the spot on an individual-by-individual basis and these types of things might not be possible if I wasn’t present. I’m sure it could work if there was a good strength coach who bought in to what you were doing and had an open line of communication but from what I’ve seen and heard this is fairly rare.
