Would Fix have won one with Taylor coaching?

Touch grass and have some copium. Fix was never better than anyone in his peerset after high school and that isn't going to magically change. I wasn't throwing a fit at anyone but the idea that Taylor would magically turn Fix into "Probably 2-3x champ if taylor is his coach" is definitely some clown car ideology. He has had Smith's coaching since he was identified as a prodigy at seven years old and despite AJ Ferrari's worst intentions, Smith is a legendary coach who knows what the heck he is doing. Fix is good, there were simply wrestlers who were better during his seven years of attending Oklahoma State.

So let's ask this a different way: do you think Taylor will outcoach Cael? Because RBY vs Fix would have been that stress test and your opinion is that Fix & Taylor would have beaten RBY & Cael.

80% of the guys I saw take the mat in Okie State orange over the past 10 years finished their careers with a considerable amount of unrealized potential.  J Smith was not building athletes, he was breaking them to try to grind out AA's.

I don't care which team or athlete won, the enjoyment is in the surprise outcomes, but I do feel for guys who left a lot on the table, and who didn't realize their dreams for one reason or another.  Especially guys who ran into coaching situations where the coaches were more about their own ego and legacy than doing what was necessary to progress the kid in a way that worked for the kid.

In his final stanza, J Smith as a coach was not a positive influence on his athletes or his program.

I respect what he did as an athlete, and the accomplishments he pulled together in his career are impressive, but he succeeded by standing atop the broken bodies and psyches of his athletes.  Break 5 so one can succeed.  That is the ultimate selfish endeavor.
