@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.

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

But.  On the men’s team, Was Spencer the closest to a gold medal?

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.
