Does this listing not include practices and agility drills or do you really only have one day of cardio?

i know my coach doesn't know anything, he claims he gets his workout from colleges... practice his afterwards on mon and tues, and thurs sometimes... after workout we do dots and jump rope (pretending to have a rope)

I'm trying to figure out the logic here.
Obviously a football player needs power ... legs and pushing and pulling.

But..this routine hops around so much.
And 10 reps?

Why not hit the basics or group the exercises on a split of push, legs, pull?
Bench-Squat-Row
5X5

Oh...and don't piss him off.

Here's Starr's basic 5x5: http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showpost.php?p=4497774&postcount=15

There's also another version that only trains the big 3 (squat, bench, clean) 3 days per week. I can't seem to find a link.
