Or maybe they need 3? 🤔

Trust in the Jimmy!  🙂

@ionel I don't get the mystery surrounding the Ferrari / Arnold debate.  Ferrari has a RS available and Arnold does not.  So isn't it obvious that Arnold is going to start and Ferrari will sit?

What if Iowa only has $ for one and want the other to hit the road....

Bob Nicholson 'CEO of Hockey Canada'...Pays American wrestlers to stay in the sport to prevent them from playing hockey and dominating the Canadiens.  Huge PSYOPS conspiracy on part of the Canadien government

'm not a "great wrestlers don't make great coaches" guy, but why do we talk as if great wrestlers always make great coaches.

maybe we're just that far into the "great recruiters are great coaches era"

You are right, sometimes the best wrestlers don’t make the best coaches, but I think Spencer brings certain things to the table, (1) he is a Hawkeye, and that alone may be enough to satisfy the Iowa faithful as well as those who make the decisions behind closed doors. (2) Spencer now possesses an Olympic Silver medal which is an accolade that certifies his ability to be among the elite in the world. But all this is just conjecture, his talents may lie elsewhere and who knows what Spencer will want when he hangs it up.

Heard next Iowa Head Coach will be DeSanto with Patrick Downey as Head Asst.. Ferrari as Asst coach...All matches will be on Pay per View

I thought Ferrari, AJ was going to be the strength coach and social media coordinator.  Maybe I heard wrong.

You are stating opinions as facts, and then just saying othes can't have opinions. Brooks can not have been closer to winning gold definitionally, since Lee made the final and Brooks did not.  Brooks didn't even get to compete against Yazdani, and you're just presuming Brooks would have beaten him,  whereas Spencer actually did beat everyone in his bracket except the gold medalist.  Brooks didn't beat either guy that made the Finals.

Evidence suggests that Brooks got closer

Well he certainly placed the highest, and Spencer was only down by criteria until the very end, Brooks meanwhile had a semifinal match that many people thought he should have won, and I don’t know if anyone could have predicted that Yazdani would end up with a significant shoulder injury. But at the end of the day both Spencer and Aaron became Olympic medalists, and who was closest to a Gold medal is really a matter of opinion.

I'd say at the very least he has a big name, this matter in living rooms and when grubbing money.

a lot of attempted jokes....

It wasn't 100% joke. I was super bored watching Lee do the same old thing, over and over again, and nobody being smart enough to figure out how to prevent it. 

Until Ramos.

@ionel what are your thoughts on this.  The winner of the Hamiti Vs Mesenbrink match this year gets the head coaching position at Iowa?

The assistant coach of the winner; should get the new head coach opportunity!

Thats a plan but I'd hate to see Namiti penalized like that, he's a good kid.  Is Jimmy putting his money on MM or DH?

Word is he put his money on Angelo Ferrari to beat them both in the finals at the same time

Crazy... he tilted Ramos in the match he lost and had put up 7 points.  So I guess he didn't really prevent it.

Sometimes domination is boring. Ramos hit a close your eyes home run.
