PacMan Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) With Borrelli's reputation and track record there, it just feels like this is Jason Borrelli's job to accept or decline. Everyone else get in line. Edited March 15 by PacMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBluegill133 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 It seems like everytime a big coaching job opens up, Cunningham's name is brought up and nothing comes of it. I just don't see him leaving PSU after all this time. 1 "Look good, feel good, wrestle good." - J Jaggers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s the case stay with Bennet They haven't been in the top 20 once in the past decade at NCAAs. They've had 4 all americans in that timeframe. Borelli was good in the late 90s and early 2000s but let's not pretend they've been anything close to good in a long long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreePointTakedown Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Tough but fair. A Reader hire might indicate something at Wisconsin. Can't imagine HC at CMU pays as much as AHC at a big 10 school. Getting let go from a big ten school could set his career back a few years. Bolyard, I think is a shoe in. Experience at a smaller MI school with some individual success. Given more resources, could be boone for CMU. Maybe reunite with Smith. Lets say that happens, who takes over at Bakersfield if/when Smith comes home?

Greenwave Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Great point, Reader is not the right hire. Working at a Big Ten school does not make u a head coach, especially when the whole staff is looking at being canned. Would Bolyard leave Michigan for CMU? I agree that should be hire. Smith is from Wisconsin, so he may want to get local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhs67 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Why are people ignoring Bennett? He is legitimately the soul of that team. Even if he isn't hired on he needs to be on staff, or they will go from perennial Top 3 MAC to bottom 3 for several seasons at least. "I know actually nothing.

BAC Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Just chiming in to say that Coach Borrelli is one heck of a coach. There's always a couple programs that seem to have no business being discussed in the same paragraph as the PSUs, Iowas and Oklahoma States of the world, yet there they are, as they do so much with so little -- consistently taking mid-grade recruits and turning them into AAs. Little Rock is today's darling, but I'm thinking Northern Iowa under Schwab, or Edinboro under Flynn, or maybe American under Cody. Teams inexplicably in trophy contention, or at least top 10, by force of coaching. That's CMU. Yes, they've lost some of their sheen over the last few years, but how many teams have been so good for so long, while working with so little, as Borrelli's teams the past 30 years? Not many. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dakota Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 NHS67 CMU is not going to hire Ben. They don't want to go the route of MSU. Casey and Bolyard would be the best hires but not sure if either would leave there current positions. Reader could be a good hire, in state recruiter could get a lot better.

What in the last six yesds of a dumpster fire at Wiscy makes you think Reader > Bennett. Bennett is a CMU guy through and through. Add to the fact that from what people are saying: Reader hasn't applied and CMU hasn't reached out to him. At least one kof those has to happen before he could possibly even be in consideration.

B - Just going off the various bbs and twitters and whatnot. I am also surprised. "I know actually nothing.

I am not sure what he is getting paid at Wiscy, but I have a feeling that he has more resources there than he would at CMU.

All else equal I would agree, but people don’t seem to be too thrilled with how Wisconsin is doing currently, which is why I would think Reader might be looking for a way out, and obviously this would be a step up in title. Because of Wisconsin’s situation, I’m not sure if I’d say potentially going after an AHC of a mid-tier (at best) B10 team is considered a “champagne taste,” but no I have no idea the salary Reader makes vs what CMU is paying. Honestly I’d think Borrelli probably made a pretty good salary considering how long he was there. It’s certainly not that uncommon for AHC’s from top schools to be named HC’s at smaller ones. Adam Hall being a recent example. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Hall being a recent example. I agree that the situation doesn't seem great in Wisconsin, according to this board, other boards, and probably several coffee shops in Wisconsin. Are we really sold on the idea that coaches are looking at this or listening to the locals? As a coach, they have got to know that they are not going to please 100% of the people 100% of the time. There will always be some armchair quarterback with an opinion. I am well aware of AHC's from bigger schools taking HC jobs at smaller schools. I don't think Adam Hall is a good example, as he goes to a tougher conference, and a conference that MIGHT not implode in the next 24 hours lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will always be some armchair quarterback with an opinion. Well let’s see. Their star just transferred out, I believe without even graduating. They scored 24.5 points this year, and by my math only 1.5 of them are returning next year (Zargo). The famous and outspoken coach of the best club in the state has publicly stated he doesn’t like Bono and seems to discourage guys from going there. They’re not in a great spot currently by most objective metrics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
