Yes I am replying to myself but how can you watch this and not be intrigued about JB at Iowa….
JB is very personable more so than Spencer when listening to them talk.
Different set of expectations. Iowa wrestling is expected to compete for National Championships. Football and basketball are not. A simple look at each program's history will settle that whether fans like it or not. Finally, scandals make it much easier to jettison a coach. Fan apathy is probably next in line because that affects the bottom line. That is what happened with basketball. Football is nowhere near that.
Plus with JB, the level of dislike/hatred with PSU will only increase. Good times.
Dake is too smart for Iowa. Ivy League, articulate, elite. Everything Iowa fans hate.
Alright I don’t mind trolling but you are getting incessant. Every post doesn’t need to be shitposting
JB. Get it done.
Need the youth movement and injection of excitement.
JB says right in that interview... You NEED talent to succeed.
Where else is there and upcoming opening that has the brand to pull in talent. He'd revamp HWC too.

Dake was 137-4 with 88 bonus wins, 44 by fall. You are correct though on the defense, he's one of the best. He didn't give up a point in the 2013 NCAA tourney until Taylor in the finals.
Total package.

I've been out in her neck of the woods. They have people in those hollers roaming around free who would be institutionalized if they lived in Iowa.
I am for Burroughs and was going to post that interview but couldn’t find the full 50 minute version from last summer. The big issue is money as JB will want the same deal as Taylor. Think Jamar Chase and Jordan Jefferson when Chase was wearing the 1 more dollar sweatershirt. Taylor is making about 300k more than Tom today. Assistant money is fine as when you look at Terry and Morningsstar‘a combined salary. But Burroughs won’t be able to bring guys into the guy he would want too given their 400k salaries, HWC just doesn‘I have it and has always had issues raising money. Maybe Jordan will compromise for less as he wants to keep his name relevant in wrestling and knows he needs to coach for that to happen.
Not that it makes a difference if JB goes to a program hes going to try to bring Tervel Dlagnev with him and you would want to try to find someone with experience like Ok State did bring in Kevin Ward more admin work than people realize and wrestling is a small staff.
Beth did an interview with the Des Moines Register at the end of the year and while wrestling isnt the same as football she talked about college football hires mentioning Michigan State and Penn State as two new hires she thought were good, showing she values head coaching experience. She did talk about hiring Jan, but basically thought it was a no brainer again valuing all her experience.
The availability of post graduates to make real money while training has been great for the USA freestyle, but it significantly changes the candidate pool for head coaches given the limited experience they guys have coaching at the collegiate level and its not the wrestling part its all the other things involved with ADs value. Burroughs actually was on staff early in his career.
One side not Askren is not employable by a university and its not his health. Hes not working for anyone and wouldn’t follow any rules at a university.

The issue is money, but not how much JB will be paid. He’ll want a good deal for sure, but he’s gonna want money for recruits, rtc members, and his assistant coaches more so. ISU was able to find a sugar daddy so I’m sure Iowa will as well. Probably won’t be a billionaire though.
You guys are acting like we are little sisters of the poor. If he wants to get into college coaching, which he says he does, then Iowa is instantly a top 3 paying job. Money isn’t going to be the issue. Will he ask for what he wants? Yes absolutely. He will probably not get it all but money isn’t going to be an impediment.
I do agree having HWC funding is a must for him but they will find it somewhere.

A rather large benefactor will be necessary. It would be pretty awesome to have 3 schools that could go toe to toe with each other and make USA wrestling even better.
Slam dunk basketball coach wanting the job made a difference. As well as having about 2,000 fans showing up. Poor example

Bring Seidel along for the ride....
What are you talking about football has had two major scandals at least by Iowa standards not comparable to pedo u. Ped u had raping locker room theft and a resisting arrest all in a matter of a couple months in the wrestling program recently.

Corby you're always pretty dialed in do you think the main issue is our assistants & do you think theres any chance he replaces them this year since their contracts are up?
This would be my order
1A. Dake
1B. Burroughs
2. Stieber
3. Pat pop
4. Robie
5.Nolf
6. Askren
Anyone else would be a disappointment in my mind. Names that I think we would hear that i definitely wouldn’t want are Metcalf, Ramos, Schwab. Great coaches but we need someone from outside the program and I don’t see them as upgrades from the Brands

Fran also couldn't get the team to the 2nd weekend of the tournament in almost 20 years while over 75 other programs did over that time & Carver was lucky to be 25% full his last few years. Huuuuge difference
Try reading again and responding after you sober up.
Hard no. I honestly can't think of any former Iowa wrestler I would want to take over as head coach. Kem would be great on staff but I can't see any former Iowa guy being able to lead the team to the needed level.
Naaahh, she's a sweetheart.
Did we ever win the first game? His tenure is so forgettable I don't remember.
My edit doesn't have a delete option. Used to with Rivals. I'm only on the app, don't do desktop, maybe that's it.
They're in the middle of the big 10 schedule what will happen this offseason isn't even a thought currently. What happens in March is what matters. This is all for show and March is for the dough
He meant just edit it to the word "Delete" or a period (before someone replies to it.)

Well the dough thing ain't been all that great either. Unless you think getting boatraced every year is acceptable. I don't.
*15 years and the similarities aren’t in their resume, but the fact that Tom and his camp can feel confident all they want, but they have no idea what Beth is going to do.
What happens in the off season may not be a current consideration for the staff but don’t pretend you know anything about what Beth is thinking. You can probably count on a bomb maker’s hand how many people are privy to that information.
I prefer Burroughs over Dake. Both explosive styles but Burroughs has the offensive style we've been wanting for.
Spencer, Nolf, and Cass would be my dream assistants to cover the weight ranges, but Spencer's still going for '28 and i'm not sure if Burroughs would ever go for a PSU assistant given his colorful history with their fans

If we finish outside of the top 5 at NCAA’s, you might see changes. Until the University of Iowa recognizes how important HWC is to the total package,
Good luck with getting a quality coach and staff. The torch will most likely be passed to Spencer in 2028.
