David Feeley was hired as the University of Miami’s Director of Strength and Conditioning for Football, head coach Manny Diaz announced on January 5.
Feeley arrived to UM after spending the past two seasons at Temple University. Overall, 2019 will mark Feeley’s 14th season in college football.
“David is an outstanding coach who has a strong track record of motivating players to help them reach their full potential,” Diaz said upon his hire. “The culture we’re putting into place and the tone we set for the upcoming season starts in the weight room when our players return to campus. That’s why this hire was so critical and I’m thrilled to welcome David to the Miami program.”
Feeley helped the Owls compile a 15-11 record and advance to two bowls in his two seasons in Philadelphia.
