Lee runs a company, but that could probably be done from anywhere.

Thanks was not aware of that, but looks like it’s an athletic apparel company where all of the “models” are NLWC people

One of the funnier aspects to this whole thing is Cael Sanderson, who left Ames in what, 2009, still owns and operates multiple businesses in Ames. He even purchased 4 duplex properties there 5 years AFTER leaving Ames.

Hopefully this puts an end to everyone's dumb speculation that side hustles and owning property means you're tied somewhere for life.

No... but it does make it hard to train for the Olympics while starting a new job, recruiting, learning the ropes etc.  Recruiting officially starts June 15th?

So while, I think he can do just about everything (except M2) business-wise, and move to Stillwater, he won't really to be able to train full-time and attend to his businesses AND coach.

 

But but but John Smith did! That was 1992, Smith was a co-coach with Monday, and was very familiar with Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, the athletic dept., and the wrestlers.  DT, not so much.

And I don't think Bo or Brooks will be joining.

Don't know why, he is a grown man and I'm betting like John he wants whats best for OSU wrestling.

So you are saying that Coleman Scott wants David Taylor to have the Head job?  I'm pretty sure Coleman Scott thinks he is a better fit than DT.  Plus, this has to be a big kick in the balls to Smith.  He hand picked Scott to come in and replace him.  It sounds to me like Ok St.  kind of went around Smith.  I'm not saying that DT is a bad hire at all.  In fact I think he is going to be great.  It just feels to me that OK St. did Coleman really dirty.

Oh, I thought your comment about Lee running a company was in jest of Taylor's side hustles preventing him from taking the OkSt job, lol. 

While I don't think side hustles or ties to the area will really impact anyone's decision to leave, I do firmly believe their training and wrestling goals will. That's why I don't see anyone who's deeply in the midst of training for the Olympics jumping ship, it'd be way too much of a distraction / pain in the ass IMO.

I figured Lee could do his business from wherever.  Nolf, too. Bo (if he were a candidate) probably not so much.  Other guys, who knows?

This is David Taylor getting the head coach position and not Anthony Cassar. Bo Nickal isn't going anywhere.

Quite a few are also pretty much full-time wrestling (not that there’s anything wrong with that of course, but they’d seem like good candidates to coach somewhere eventually).

Snyder, Dake, Nolf, Lee, RBY are a few that come to mind unless I’m mistaken and any of them have other full-time jobs, probably Brooks after he graduates.  I know Nolf runs an app or something but it’s wrestling-related.

Lee gave an interview before Olympic trials saying he’s probably going to try and make a world team next year then retire and become a lawyer like his father , RBY is probably going right into MMA after Olympics he’s been training with Dominick Cruz for years now ..Synder wants to wrestle until he’s 40

Brooks isn’t leaving NLWC and Nickal is in the UFC.

Seems the rumors are Gilman is likely going and Kennedy.  Who knows after that.

I do think Marinelli could be a good coach, and seems like a good candidate to start up a weekly Bible study that could rival PSU’s.  I think he’d be an interesting hire so that it’s not all PSU guys.  He and Taylor both graduated from the same high school right?

Yes, but a big enough age gap where it makes it irrelevant(guessing). I do not think Taylor has many roots in Saint Paris after graduating. I believe his family moved to State College. Honestly, there aren't any other Saint Paris Graham kids in college coaching besides Bo Jordan - who I did see Taylor use as a drill partner often when they were younger and smaller.

Who cares if it's all PSU guys? They're the best program out there, and none of the others are close.

St Paris has a few in coaching Steibler at Ohio state , Brascetta at Maryland , Heil was coaching until this most recent Olympic run I think he ll be back in a D1 room sooner then later , NATO was on the duke staff until 2 years ago I know he has his own academy but good chance he jumps back In at some point

Yes but hopefully Taylor implements some of his own style and doesn’t just copy PSU.

This is a huge nut kick to Coleman Scott and John Smith. BUT when Scott was hired from UNC,  David Taylor was not even in the picture as a future coach. He was going to be wrestling in the Paris Olympics. Whoops!

Also and more importantly, Ok State wrestling then found their own version of T Boone Pickens who did not want money (salary, staff and NIL) to keep them from getting Taylor.

it was the best possible move for Okla State if they have any desire to become relevant in the NCAA tournament because Taylor will attract recruits and good assistant coaches.

Coleman Scott will be a head coach somewhere and probably a better job than UNC.

A poster on OSU forum is claiming that supposedly Scott has “unfollowed” Taylor as well as some fans that supported the Taylor hire

I've unfollowed the poster who claimed CS unfollowed DT. 

[headshuck]

So everyone is still friends, just not following each other intimately?

if this is true he really shouldn't have gotten the job....(jokes aside I would be annoyed to have that stuff pop up on my phone too)

I don't think Steibler went to St. Paris, just did some summer training with them. Went to Monroeville.

Heil St. Eds?

NaTo CVCA for sure.

Minnow claiming everyone from the OSU staff is gone (including equipment manager), as is RTC staff except Fix(es)

[Interviewed_at_Weehawken]

Here's a complete guess with no basis in reality, other than they grew up as really close friends/training partners: Logan Stieber to Oklahoma State.

(My guess is he is too tight with everyone at the other OSU, but would be very interesting!)

The older of whom should definitely be gone.  But how do you break that to Daton?
