i was talking to the football coach at my college and he said lift before you do cardio

I think they're both bad. Basically you're depleting your glycogen levels for the activity you do second. If you want to get the best out of both workouts, leave 8 hrs in between so you can push yourself hard for both.

You can walk a bit after lifting but before you take in your protein shake otherwise the insulin spike will kill any fat loss.

I think to lift before , because that level far cow period is skilled at in low Glycogen body will have helped to burn the fat well more

I've always learned to do cardio on an empty stomach early in the day, and leave at least 4 - 5 hours till I lift later that day. Your body burns the most fat on an empty stomach.

You also don't want to do a large cardio session right after lifting when your muscles are craving much nutrients that they will not recieve. Worse come to worse, do cardio before lifting and sip on protein during it. Then go into your lifting session and make sure to consume protein thereafter.
