He probably would say no, but it's time to go offer him $2.5 million a year plus some monetary commitments for the program.
Is it time to make David Taylor say no?
- Thread starter HawkeyeGenius
- Start date
Lmao that time came and went two years ago. Time to make JB say no.
I made this suggestion in the months leading up to Ok St. hiring him. If Iowa was of the mindset your boy MSU was in, I'm breathing a sigh of relief they too felt it was laughable to even consider and Taylor didn't have the coaching experience needed to be successful.
Why is Pat Santoro out of Lehigh not mentioned? Crookham and Stanich at 133 and 141 would fill holes. Seymour is also a stud at 125, but is a senior. All 3 are undefeated this year
Why would he even consider it? He has all the money he needs at OSU.
Because you need a splash hire.
How about Bo Nickal?
Seems his MMA career is winding down.

Taylor had been running a wrestling club for years with high schoolers giving up their 12th grade season to train with him and they became title contenders as true freshman training with him. He wasn’t just a great wrestler who hadn’t coached. He had coached. A lot.
Most the names thrown about can’t match that. Except maybe Askren.

Casey Cunningham should be #1 on any list, if you can convince him to leave somehow. Askren, Nolf, Zain, JB, or even Mark Hall or Nick Lee are going to be hot names in the upcoming years, too. And, of course, there’s Spencer, although I really think it would benefit Iowa to go outside the program.
I'd start with Cunningham. He's the force behind PSU other than Caels recruiting. Cael brings em in and Cunningham works his magic in the room. It would not only strengthen Iowa into a great practice environment but it would gut PSU a good deal. Easily the top assistant in the country. That said he wont leave Happy Valley so...next
Maybe it’s just me but I don’t think I can stomach a PSU guy.
I was right there with you or which ever sock you was running back then.
