Well… two of the greatest D1 wrestling coaches of all time went to ISU. So maybe Dalton Jenson?
Jden and Gabe are cousins I know some people know that but not everyone does
That would be amazing, but will
Didn’t Miklus finish at Iowa state not Iowa. Maybe he was ripping on the clones program since he wasn’t part of ours.
Hopefully Spencer can add to that star power with a world and Olympic gold.
Nolf head coach, Spencer associate head coach to keep an Iowa guy in the mix. That would be a great combo for recruiting. I think bringing in the PSU system is important, and Nolf seems to have a plan layed out already for being a head coach, whereas Spencer is still 100% competitor who hasn’t committed to the idea of coaching yet.
He's not going anywhere and you don't want a swing and a miss like that.
We're talking hypotheticals, as I'm not convinced Tom's time is coming to an end but changes to staff are undoubtedly needed.
Other than VT, ACC wrestling is in a skid. With what VT has in the stable + what they’ve got coming in ….. Pat Pop has got to be looking around for greener pastures. Iowa has play of green pasture and Pat Pop would look pretty good in Iowa City.
True enough. He’s PSU’s secret sauce. His two kids are seriously good, but, their path to starting for PSU is quite uncertain. I suppose he might consider an offer from Beth. His two sons could probably start at Iowa. All that being said, Casey is not a rah rah kinda guy. I doubt that he would relish the ******** duties that come with being a HC. I think Casey knows that he is the #1 ingredient in what has become the greatest wrestling dynasty of the modern era. He ain’t leavin PSU.
But, as Cael says wrestlers should want to be at PSU for the right reasons, excluding NIL, the coaches will be held to the same standard. Beth's gambit would result in her paying Casey $1M or he would stay put for far far less.
And Cael is a rah rah guy?
Of course Cael believes that but its easy for him to say it when he picks and chooses the elites of the elites as the current machine is running downhill. Its like the hottest girl in the bar saying I pick that scrawny nerd with the glasses because he gets me! Never happens. Winning sure make BS seem somehow more believable. I mean when Brands was coming off the 3 peat in Omaha we took everything he said as gospel from the savior. Now he say I like our guys and we all laugh.
Casey would be great because it would deal a body blow to PSU. You'd have to think he could bring one or two high-level guys with him from PSU's roster. Closing the gap will require some degree of Iowa rising and PSU falling. Hiring Casey would be the ideal for the latter.
I have no issue if it was Metcalf. He's a good dude and has grown a lot since Iowa City. Question is would he want Kem. He may want DSJ to come with. Maybe Reader since they are from same high school. Reader would do himself good to get away from Bono. Also you can guarantee Carr would be coming with so HWC better get that check cut.
There is no way Eggum leaves or loses his job before 2033. That’s what his kid will be done and the program will be completely destroyed. By that i mean outside the top 20
I was thinking of something like that earlier about what coach could bring his guys with him. The biggest worries with this plan is would bassett/Miller follow to iowa and would the needed iowa guys stay around. If the answer to both is a yes then rebuild would be quick.
Some of you need to get out of your heads that the next Iowa staff must be laced with nothing but former Iowa wrestlers leading the ship. The wrestling world no longer revolves around Iowa wrestling past.
It's the same in other sports with people thinking the next football HC needs to be someone who has some prior connection to Iowa football. Makes zero sense to me to limit ourselves that way.
I dont want to get out of my head, and you are wrong.
