Tom should've known kids hate shoveling snow. The prospect of this being the standard of their future relationship was just too much for Bo! 

You had a nice rhyme/poem going there.  :classic_smile:

Agreed with this, 100%. I do wonder if this season, as Tom even acknowledged being his worst season yet, will shift his perspective to make some changes - both staff wise and with his coaching approach. Now with Okie State being the clear #2 using a similar approach as Penn State with significant success, if he doesn't try something different now, he'll be out at Iowa and not on his own terms. 

Yianni is the kind of guy who, if allowed to really coach what he knows best without restrictions, is a splash hire to help Iowa's overall scramble ability and recruiting appeal. 

What if the forever freestylers get their push out step out dreams…. And Iowa reigns king at position and pushing people out of bounds ?

Does Yianni need to leave Cornell to diversify his resume for if/when Cornell opens? Thought he's a big enough name and had enough sway with the donors where that wouldn't be needed, but another perspective/merging of philosophies might be a good selling point.

If that happens, you can find the Brands bros digging through the eligibility rules book to find a loophole for another year of eligibility for Austin DeSanto.

We should never add the push out to folkstyle.   It will ruin the best sport on earth

Dennis should be gone, just cause he's lowest on the totem poll and thats how it works, terry takes his job (I think terry is very effective with senior freestyle types, NOT with younger folkstylers who need to develop dominatnt styles). 

Tom stay head (he raises a lot of money and seems administratively very effective), bring in Pritzlaff as associate head (he's got to run the room or none of this works).

Rest of the staff gets canned too. If you said it'd be better with no Brands at all I'd disagree but certainly get the idea.

That s interesting. I do like easing Pritzlaff into the top spot. And the time is not right to dismiss the Brands. They do a lot of things right, contrary to what the naysayers want to believe. Pritzlaff has a lot to learn about running a machine like Iowa. And sharing the responsibility with TandT takes away a lot of pressure.

I am in favor of pushing the Jimmy out of the forum.

I'll be completely honest, There's nothing more boring than seeing somebody getting a single and then just pushing the other person out. Same thing goes for when burroughs gets the double and then pushes the other guy out. Folkstyle is already dragging it with the amount of guys that pull the other guy out of bounds while their on top without an immediate stall call.

Burroughs said on one of the ncaa broadcasts.  Forgot which one.  But he said when he gets a single he knows he can’t finish in freestyle he just pushes him out for a cheap 1 

that’s not wrestling.  Thats nonsense.   That sure isn’t offense.   

points for point sake doesn’t make the sport more entertaining.   Just ask the 3 point takedown that was supposed to *cough* incentivize more offense.    Weird that that didn’t change anything… and possibly added more stalling at the end.   

word.

In addition to being poorly motivated, he really adds nothing.

How much money does Barth throw at it to keep him at Columbia?

I think the idea is to eliminate the T and T. Keep Tom at the helm and send Terry to the RTC. Let Terry focus on Sr. freestyle.

I think this has been the answer all along. Get some new eyes but keep the core.

And does he want to be co-head coach. But I would think if tom took him under his wing with a promise of “if things work out in a few years, turning it over to him , it may be very tempting. Iowa has the money to toss at him.

I think its comical that anyone thinks the University of Iowa is going to spend $2.5 million just to make a wrestling coach go away on top of the million plus yearly it will take to lure a new candidate.

Do you know what $2.5M means to a multi billionaire?
