When Bryan Nardo had players over at his house a few weeks back, one of his sons took notice of the jump in levels his dad has taken.
Nardo said as his son looked up at the mammoth defensive lineman and told him, “Dad, they’re big.” Nardo will coach a different level of athlete at Oklahoma State, but at his first meeting with the OSU media last week, he said it’s all relative. Although he has more explosive athletes to coach, he is also coaching against more explosive athletes.
“There’s great athletes on our side of the ball, but there’s great athletes on the other side of the ball — so it’s all relative, which is one thing I’ve really noticed,” Nardo said.
