Manning seems to have the ability to motivate his wrestlers more than Brands does. Nebby showed up last night, tactics aside.

But the question wasn't who is more effective, it's who is more unlikeable. I agree with some of the other posters, Tom Brands isn't a bad guy, he's just goofy. But, as others have also pointed out, you get two of them when you have to deal with a Brands. My vote would be Manning though.

Here is a different question, other than PSU, where would you want your son to wrestle?

They seem to be two programs going in different directions. IOWA seems to be trending downwards since their NC...
In the same time span... NEB seems to be trending upwards.....
