Would Fix have won one with Taylor coaching?

[AgaveMaria]

Watching a few Oklahoma State matches and many of the wrestlers look to be much more aggressive on the mat. Going for it rather than sitting & waiting.

Would Taylor coaching have been enough to put Dayton Fix over the top for at least one NCAA Title?

I think this will be easier to speak on after the next year of freestyle.

Maybe, but I bet Gable Stevenson would have never stepped away from the sport.

Mensenbrick would be a tough matchup for anyone, even Younger Bastida.

Stevenson, Messenbrink and Finx were all way over hyped coming out of high school.

I don't think younger Bastida is any better than the older version of Yonger

Looking at how they turn out in college - the hype wasn't overdone.

Fix with a great career but falling short each tournament was a hard one. Taylor being the "New & Improved" coach may well have put him on another level. John Smith came in and OSU was riding on top for a few years. Then they slowed a bit and PSU came up with a new Coach who has them riding high with no sign of slacking off.

Amine is the one who really needs to buy into Taylor & push a lot more on the mat. Stalling to win has already bit him. Get some offense going.

The next few years should be interesting.

Probably 2-3x champ if taylor is his coach.

Fix regressed throughout college, carrying the brand, a struggling coach's career, and the ENTIRE Okie State brand is a really tall order for any person.
