Who’s they??
Unless Tom plans on retiring or Taylor plans on being an assistant, I don’t think this happens. This sounds like one of those “nationals rumors” by someone stating that Iowa needs a shake up and some asking, who could they get? Then by day 3 it’s turned into Iowa going after the “who can they get” answer.
Maybe they move terry to HWC and make Taylor Assistant HC and phase him in to takeover once brands contract is up. Feels like a weird rumor tho, David has a club in Pennsylvania he’d have to give up.This feels more true but Gadsen is not a BSer.
He said in a recent interview they have a small farm and his wife has a business in town. They have established themselves, but I guess nothing is impossibleMaybe they move terry to HWC and make Taylor Assistant HC and phase him in to takeover once brands contract is up.

At the end of the day money talks right? If they could structure something that he keeps m2, 250k coaching contract, I think there is some meat on that bone. Will be interesting to see if anything comes of it. Goetz has proved that she will make moves to some degreeHe said in a recent interview they have a small farm and his wife has a business in town.

I don't think he could do M2 and coach. A recruiting violation. Beyond the money, a DT may ask for a detailed roadmap to succession and changes in the program before that happens. I can't imagine Brands agreeing to any of that. A clean break makes more sense than a transition. If we were talking about a coach getting ready to retire, I'd agree with you, but Tom has no thoughts of that AFAIK.At the end of the day money talks right?

David Taylor could easily just be the NLWC coach, they have the money to pay his price. I can’t see them letting the best wrestler Cael has produced go to a rival school to help them.At the end of the day money talks right?

This is where the talk about simply being about “growing the sport” would be put to the test. If that is really what they want more than anything, then they should embrace an expansion of their philosophies to regions beyond Happy Valley.David Taylor could easily just be the NLWC coach, they have the money to pay his price.

Interesting point.From what I’ve seen of Taylor over the years (and trust me, I’ve tried not to look), I can’t imagine he and Tom co-existing. Oil and water in philosophies. If our AD wants Taylor, it will need to be a clean sweep w/ Taylor selecting his own crew. Which I think would work well, btw.
And since they’re such good buds, I’d expect him to want Dake as his Associate HC.
My son has gone to the ATT right next to M2 in Pleasant Gap. I don't know what kind of fees M2 charges or revenue it generates, but DT has a pretty sweet set-up right now.Maybe they move terry to HWC and make Taylor Assistant HC and phase him in to takeover once brands contract is up. Feels like a weird rumor tho, David has a club in Pennsylvania he’d have to give up.
I am an “all-in” or “all-out” personality . . . which has been reinforced by all of my most significant successes coming from an all-in mentality.Interesting point.
So with that being said, Tom is at 625k this year. Terry I’m not sure, but he made 217k in 2021 so let’s just say he’s up to 275k this year.
So then the real question is, would 900k per year be enough to get Taylor and dake? And would you entrust 0 years of coaching experience to take over arguably the most storied program in the existence of college wrestling? And I’m not talking the coaching, I’m talking the politics, the fundraising, the administration, the recruiting, etc.
Definitely leads to some interesting conversations!
If Terry liked being a head coach he would have been one a lot more often in his life.Terry to HWC is the right move IMO but the money/donors would have to be there because he would get scooped up as a HC almost anywhere in the country if given the opportunity.
They could make Taylor “associate” head coach and up the $$$
Also I don’t feel like he would need to give up m2 if he has a good staff in place in PA. If anything he could open an Iowa M2 location and build a PA pipeline straight to Iowa city.
No clue if it’s substantiated in any way, but an interesting rumor and one I would be totally on board with.
^^^^^^^^How would Gadson have any idea what BG is up to?
But sometimes 2 big dogs just can't be in the same yard together without pissing on each other.David Taylor could easily just be the NLWC coach, they have the money to pay his price. I can’t see them letting the best wrestler Cael has produced go to a rival school to help them.
I heard Beth took her malfunction laptop to the Apple Store he works at.How would Gadson have any idea what BG is up to?
Pretty sure you can run a farm and a business in Iowa City area too. 'Established' people move all the time.He said in a recent interview they have a small farm and his wife has a business in town. They have established themselves, but I guess nothing is impossible
Gadson has also been in Kansas City all week with UFC Fight pass talking to all sorts of people and I also don’t see him being a guy to throw s hit out there for no reason.This feels most logical and likely to be true but Gadsen is not a BSer.
I hope you’re wrong.Gadson has also been in Kansas City all week with UFC Fight pass talking to all sorts of people and I also don’t see him being a guy to throw s hit out there for no reason.
So Gadson ≠ Gobblin?Gadson has also been in Kansas City all week with UFC Fight pass talking to all sorts of people and I also don’t see him being a guy to throw s hit out there for no reason.
^^^^^^^^
Agree - this makes no sense, just a ISU alum trying to stir the pot at Iowa.

How do we know what Beth is going to do? She just got her first P5 AD job 2 months ago.Thanks. At the end of the day I just don’t see Beth doing this. She sure as heck isn’t out there hunting for assistants as some have theorized.
How would hunting for assistants be any thing she’d ever do? She could hunt for a new HC, she’s not going to hunt for assistants and would have no place in doing that besides final say.Thanks.

dying at the idea that DT would ever take an assistant job under Tom (or anywhere other than PSU as the coach in waiting).Thanks. At the end of the day I just don’t see Beth doing this. She sure as heck isn’t out there hunting for assistants as some have theorized.
Does Beth even know who DT is? I doubt it.
It’s less that not much. There is no much in nothing.Taking Gadsen's tweet at face value, an unknown "they" have started an unverified rumor that Iowa's AD has plans to maybe get DT to Iowa. Not much to go on there.
Don’t ask me, buddy. I’m the one saying it isn’t plausible.

And sound can’t can’t travel in a vacuum, there’s nothing there.Taking Gadsen's tweet at face value, an unknown "they" have started an unverified rumor that Iowa's AD has plans to maybe get DT to Iowa. Not much to go on there.
Maybe she does; but if so it’s cause she’s already got people in her ear about Toms future replacement.Guarantee you she knows exactly who he is.
