BK posts on X about the Griz football sports dieitition

This is a great example of BK doing something simple that sheds light in whats happening inside the program that BH would never allow. Love this post by BK. The dietician has been a huge asset to the program and has been doing great things for the student athletes for a while now... great that BK is shedding light on it!!

It would be a much stronger statement, for the program AND for Shelby as employee, if her position was visible under Athletics staff directory, noting also any certification and/or Bio. That speaks louder than X as to the value of her position within the organization.

To adults yes and it would be a good move but X is what the recruits are on.
I'm really glad BK is shining the light on things in athletics that are happening. For better or worse, under Hauck it was all very secretive and quiet. BK is really working to spread word on what goes on day to day. I think his posts are very endearing and authentic, I like that, but in the long run Athletics social media needs to really take this ball and run with it. We can't rely on our football head coach to also be our chief social media manager.

There is quite the writeup on her on Instagram back from early December for those of you dissatisfied with the current plug.
Amen, BW. Since I was in undergrad 100 years ago (OK, about 20), it seems like everything surrounding FB program has been a big secret, and a lot of those "in the know" seemed to love it. I understand not everything can or should be public, but even simple things like this seemed shrouded in the "need to know" BS in an era where Ohio State and USC give inside looks freely. I'll go ahead and say it was for worse. It's refreshing to see that maybe an FCS program in Missoula realizes it doesn't have to treat itself like CIA Headquarters. Love it!

Seems like you may know your next roll on this earth.
Is that roll like a pole?
Funny story about Shelby. My wife became super curious about her at the games, was fascinated that she would walk around the sidelines with looked like a baggy of grapes, handing them out to any players that would oblige. She called her the "snack girl". We ran into Shelby and her husband, who is the lead strength coach for basketball, at the "meet the team" dinner for men's hoops, and we were excited to meet "the snack girl". Turns out she was handing out particular energy and hydration type shots / "snacks" as she explained. Ha!
As weve been hearing, our snack and fuel station in the champions center has become robust, and it has become habit of BK to recognize publicly those that bust their ass for the program but don't get recognition for it. Some may knock BKs silly graphics on his social media, but im beginning to think its not going to take a huge shift in social media presence to make a HUGE difference in people feeling like theyre much more connected to the program, both potential recruits and otherwise. Well done coach, and well done GRIZ social media!!

I don't think true organizational change happens on X. If you have a Registered Dietitian on your staff, and the science (4 years minimum) that goes with the certification being put to use for your athletes, I think it would be noted on the UM org chart as the professional position that an RD is. MSU lists two RD's.
According to her Instagram bio, she’s a Registered Dietician and she has a Masters in Medical Science. That sounds pretty qualified to me!

Does it sound qualified? It would to me if a credentialed RD with a Masters was named as such on the UM staff roster directory. Absent that, I am discerning either the credentials aren't present or the organization is not cognizant of the difference between an RD and a "snack girl." Either way the science isn't delivered to the player in the nutrition center, and translated to the field to the extent it is at MSU, where there is no doubt about the credentials or the place in the org chart of two RD's, answering directly to Sean Herrin, Director of Strength and Conditioning.
Yes she is Licensed. She also mentions that on her IG, and there’s also ways to look that up if you’d like to fact check it. There could be a multitude of reasons for why she doesn’t appear in the staff directory. Maybe she just recently started her job? Maybe we’re turning over the majority of our coaching staff and immediately getting her into the Directory isn’t the highest priority right now? Seems kinda wild that she’s registered, licensed, and has all the qualifications but you choose to make this into a conspiracy theory because she’s not yet in the staff directory. Find something better to do with your time.

Making up words are we?
Slow your fingers down a notch or two.
"Becoming a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) typically takes 5–6 years, requiring a bachelor’s degree (soon to be a master's), 1,000+ hours of accredited dietetic internship, and passing a national exam. RDNs earn an average of $63,000–$100,000+ annually. Costs for private consultations range from $80–$135 per session. Licensing is required in most states."

Lack of professionalism toward a licensed practitioner by an institution, as reflected by
UM repeatedly failing to cite credentials, and the position's complete absence from the UM website staff roster, represents an underlying organizational problem, not bearing any resemblance to a conspiracy theory. Because RD is a female dominated profession, some might even regard it as sexist, which might go largely unnoticed in this forum. I regard my time pointing this out as well spent. To the discerning fan, such mis-steps make UM look dumb.

The strength and conditioning staff at um sucks major cock. This guy has it completely right. Those differences are why, right now the cats have us beat. It starts at the top, the two guys leading the whole thing, Dan Ryan and Zach Rockford. All time terrible communicators.
