No. Danny declined the "Clear Coat" and Bono wouldn't sign off on the deal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to be confident in your way of thinking. That's OK. Mine very much differ from yours. That's OK, too. You believe your way and I'll believe mine. And... listen carefully...

I’m on board with the concept of people coming together as individuals for a collective cause that they believe in and support. Adhering to dated delineators with the stated goal of emphasizing differences is not something I’m supportive of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well here in Wisconsin all we hear is that AWA kids do not go to Wisconsin but I think but not positive that DH is not an AWA wrestler, so another swing and miss for Wisconsin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HungusMungus Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 If there is one thing Wisconsin AD Chris McIntosh has proven, is he won't hesitate to pull the trigger on under preforming coaches (I.E. Cryst, Granato) Bono is on extremely thin ice; Mac wants all of his programs to be competitive in the Big 10. If they do make a move, I don't think Reader is your guy, young kids at home, doesn't want the HC job (just my opinion) They cast a wide net on this one, Does Donny P come back and finally get the job he was promised at one point, do they look at an AWA connection? (Max Askren, Becker from Parkside?) or a wild card Dake, Taylor, Burroughs? The next coach would be walking into a program with maybe the worst D1 wrestling room I have ever see, although there are rumblings that they are getting a new room in the new football complex they are building. Who knows what's going to happen, but the Bono experiment has failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogbone Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 I think my favorite thing in this thread is the tangent into minorities that included Italians with references to mother's heritage but couldn't think of any others Italians, like Pat Pop, Santoro, Borrelli among others.

He was lighting people up. Dynamic, funky. Now? I don’t think he’ll place higher than 4th. He’s the same wrestler he was in 2022. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 165 has been a buzz saw lately. Wouldn't doubt that 3 or 4 non-finalist in the last few years would be top of the podium in other eras. Hope they all stay healthy and can follow it up on the international scene like Tay-Dake-Oughs. Watching these guys tear it up for the next few cycles would be fun! That's wear Hamiti might be able to get over the hump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrestle87 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 For it to really make a difference the coach will have to be someone who has magnetic pull as an athlete and is really buttoned up as a coach. Historically, Big ten programs really suffered from getting caught in the old gable way of hating life and breaking yourself to pieces to “wrestle hard”. Much of that seems to have left college wrestling, but Barry David was the last one to push it bigtime, and I don’t see how Bono and reader have really moved on from that. They have a lot of what looks like injuries and burnout from a stressful room. The only other to places that visibly hang onto that philosophy I can think of are OSU and Iowa. There kinda seems to be a dearth of well-prepared coaches right now, likely bc the current crop of international competitors has gone so long. Who can you bring in that is magnetic enough to overhaul the vibe of the program? You can’t clone Askren, and I think he cares about his Athletes and his independence too much to take the job, but who else has that sort of vibe? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
