Must be a sucky frequentist model. Any decent bayesian model would have had at least one 83% in that table somewhere. Try again, we'll let you know when we approve of the results.
Good catch. You are 100% of 83% right. I do not know what I was thinking.
While I agree with you to an extent, losing to ISU matters. Getting embarrassed at home matters. Attendance starting to falter matters.
Revised expectations are simply original expectations that were not met - for whatever reason. Maybe they were too high to begin with? I'm not disputing that injuries may have played a significant part in it all.
Can you share some of the Cael tree of wrestling coaches? Other than David Taylor, who from PSU has risen to become a Head Coach? I honestly do not know.
Im just saying let it ride and see what happens then take care of the problem. What i agreed with is it makes no sense to look for a coach halfway through the season
Stop. Finishing as an AA last year in that field should be meeting the expectation of him coming out of high school considering he was splitting time not focusing
on wrestling. After knowing he was getting hip surgery and had limited mat time in the off season s the expectation he’s going to be in the finals or top 4. I ddnt have that expectation. Was your expectation that he’d be higher last year considering the circumstances?No - you stop. This is a message Board and if you can't handle dissent and fair discussion then you leave. There is not one person, other than maybe you, who thinks BK finishing in 8th place is meeting the expectations he had when entering college. It was a great success to do it last year but no chance would most agree that it qualifies as a successful career, should that be his ceiling. You keep saying that it's because of his dual sports and injuries and that is exactly why he may not achieve what most thought he would. I'm not for one second disparaging the fact he AA'd last year. I am very simply stating he has not yet achieved what most thought he would. Right now the proof is on the mat for all to see and if he doesn't turn the corner I would venture to say he won't AA this year. Maybe the expectations were too high? I'm giving his injuries as a reason - you are using them as an excuse. Big difference.Stop. Finishing as an AA last year in that field should be meeting the expectation of him coming out of high school considering he was splitting time not focusing
I’m fine with dissent. My opinion is if u think he’s doing better last year splitting time it’s just unrealistic. This year…my issue is with him getting bagged on knowing the circumstances. Here I thought I was just using his injuries as a “reason” but now I know thanks for clearing that up.
What a moranic thing to post.
She's not getting rid of anybody mid season. If Iowa comes home from an uninspiring NCAA'S, coupled with just the apparent lack of fan attendees at the PSU dual, Brands will be gone IMO. His seat is hotter than Christie Brinkley in Christmas Vacation.
For a board that talks about money so much, it funny how little people realize that last line matters a lot. A full Carver is important, they need to try and lose as little money as possible so selling out, putting butts in seats, people engaged and buying beverages, carver cones, etc. If tomorrow night doesn't go well, and that causes the attendance to drop further for Minnesota, and that snowballs into tOSU into Michigan here, decisions will have to be made before the postseason hits - it wouldn't be an in-season change, but it would probably be like Fran, or Brian, where its known they aren't coming back next season.
I don't know if we're lucky to have her, but agreed on everything else. So far so good with her though.
That is in fact how DT ended up as the next great coach, unless we get our heads out of our asses and beat him to the punch. DT is the first branch and we need to pick the next best branch from all of the trees.
Absolutely concur. The reason the Titanic sank was because it hit the iceberg. Why wait to hit the iceberg when we're seeing it in the scope and we're heading right for it. Do we really think the style, excitement and eventual outcomes will change between now and March? Just sayin...
He said Cael soon will have, which I think is a true statement. Look at some of the names being thrown around already...and DT was the first branch.
The timing of the ticket price increase couldn't have been worse.
Maybe in a 4th assistant role. Besides many might confuse him with Italian golfer Francesco Molinari, and we can't have that.
Nobody has yet. DT is the first generation of the Cael PSU greats, and he's the first to land a head job, too. Nick Lee, Mark Hall, Zain, and Cenzo are getting into coaching as assistants, and I'm sure they will be head coaches sooner rather than later. Nolf is running his wrestling academy, which obviously was the stepping stone DT used to get into coaching, so he'll probably want to make the leap eventually, too, when the right job opens. I think running the academy actually better prepared DT for move directly to big time D1 coaching than just coaching somewhere by getting him experience running a business as well as a wrestling entity, which is a big part of coaching somewhere like Ok St (or Iowa or PSU). That will probably put Nolf ahead of the other guys in line for a premier job IMO.
You forgot terrible haircut
Recording your own statement of such, and then listening to it, does not count.
Does it matter? When Gable was 2/3 of the way through his run what was his coaching tree like? we're going to have to wait a few more seasons to see how that goes.
Speaking for myself and a lot of fans I converse with yes, the expectation was he'd be higher than last year even considering the hip surgery. He had surgery in April of last year... it's been 9+ months now recovery for a high level athlete. They worked him back into the lineup slowly. Guys have that surgery and are commonly back to 100% in 6 months.Stop. Finishing as an AA last year in that field should be meeting the expectation of him coming out of high school considering he was splitting time not focusing
Couldn't agree more with your assessment. It seems the excuses are aplenty for BK this year. But as Spencer once said, "excuses are for wussies".
