Author Topic: How many Big 12 HCs could do 20 pushups in a row? (Read 4576 times)

DQ12 · « **on:** July 16, 2015, 02:30:19 PM »

Let's get the obvious ones out of the way: Strong, Swagwood, Beaty for sure. Hell, Strong might just be the strongest coach in the country, pardon the pun.

Gundy and Horsewomen probably could as well.

Rhoads? I really don't know. Could Stoops? I'm guessing not.

Certified weaklings: Snyder. Patterson. Briles is probably too old to crank out 20 good ones.

So here is my list of coaches who could do the most pushups in a row:

1. Strong (45 shups)
2. Ryan Swagosling (40 shups)
3. Beaty (34 shups)
5 (tie). Gundy (21 shups)
5 (tie). Holgerson (20 shups)
6. Rhoads (17 shups)
7. Stoops (14 shups)
8. Patterson (11 shups)
9. Briles (8 shups)
10. Snyder (0 shups)

i don't know. how much do you think holgerson weighs? i put him at maybe like, a buck sixty? how tall is he anyways?

You really think Rhoads could do more than Stoops?

stoops looks pretty out of shape to me. plus i'm guessing stoops has like, 7 or 8 years on rhoads, but i really have no clue.

I think you are overlooking Briles old man strength by a lot here.

DQ12 · « **Reply #6 on:** July 16, 2015, 02:42:35 PM »

this would be a really fun little event at big 12 media days. could be kind of embarrassing for the certified weaklings though.

Briles looks like the kind of guy that does 50 every morning before his coffee.

Also, he looks like he might weigh 160-175. It is feasible that he could do pushups all day and never get tired.

Does it count as 0 pushups or infinity pushups if you are so fat that when you lay on your stomach your arms are already in the pushup position?

Yeah briles was definitely the hardest to gauge. But i erred on the side of him being maybe 65 or so? i really have no clue how old any big 12 coaches are besides snyder.

this is a good question but your analysis is way off imo. agree on briles sentiment, he could do 40. stoops could easily do 30. rhoads 30+. holgerson 40. gundy 30+. snyder definitely 0. patterson could do 20 I bet.

Patterson only has to go down like two inches before his gut hits the ground. He can do way more than that.

steve dave · « **Reply #14 on:** July 16, 2015, 03:14:44 PM »

this is a 40 plus old man body

steve dave · « **Reply #15 on:** July 16, 2015, 03:15:33 PM »

in his prime I bet he could do 60 with some one arms thrown in to show off

steve dave · « **Reply #16 on:** July 16, 2015, 03:16:37 PM »

now that I'm really breaking it down he's got a rockin old man bod.

Stevesie60 · « **Reply #17 on:** July 16, 2015, 03:17:38 PM »

steve dave is the Manhatter of coaches.

Could Snyder do a girl push-up? Honestly I'm guessing not.

CNS · « **Reply #19 on:** July 16, 2015, 03:21:33 PM »

Bill has a neek follow him around with an actual cord because the extra battery weight required to go cordless is too much for his system. Honestly, I am surprised he walks up and down the tunnel on his own.

Frankenklein · « **Reply #20 on:** July 16, 2015, 03:37:55 PM »

If Holgerson had enough coke he could do about a million.

Trogdor · « **Reply #21 on:** July 16, 2015, 03:39:44 PM »

Gundy is not the same man as he was when he was 40. Ill take the under on him

Frankenklein · « **Reply #22 on:** July 16, 2015, 03:41:16 PM »

Could Stoops even do one chin up.

Absolutely not. Briles and Swagoshling are the only two that can, I bet. Maybe strong. I mean, he looks very strong, but that muscle weighs a bunch too.

Very squat and compact, though (Smart, that is). Doesn't have to pull his body up as far to complete a chin up.
