If you had / where able to replace one coach on the wrestling staff ...

I'd be interested in that role and Tom knows it. I reiterated to him in Vegas last month.
never say never
(btw i'm not advocating for Moriah moving on. i love her and she does a wonderful job.)
second post in this thread and it’s the wisest response I’ve read since
Be interested what you would or would be allowed to do differently for Iowa that would help them.I'd be interested in that role and Tom knows it. I reiterated to him in Vegas last month.

I’d hope to see a person come on who could evaluate talent, get top kids signed as well as finding an occasional sleeper.
isn’t that what M* does? wouldn’t he have plenty of time out of season to do that?
this thread rubbed me the wrong way because it was an obvious troll attempt (wasn’t it?)
I think we all would be ok with adding a position like this without canning any other staff….if it’s legal and affordable
Okay, I'll bite:
Oh, you meant OUR coaching staff? Ah, nevermind . . .

I'd replace Carl over in Happy Valley with my neighbor's kid. The kid can't wrestle for sh*t, but at least we'd keep Carl away from the talent in PA.Oh, you meant OUR coaching staff? Ah, nevermind . . .
I'm guessing he could make up for any monetary shortfalls with facilities or what have you in very short order. I'm on board ( and love the Jack Reacher movies....). 🙂
I don't think a recruiting coordinator is going to do that any better than who we already have. At the top schools, the athletes do all the evaluating for you by going to all the national level events and competing against the best. More sucky schools might need someone with a keen eye on finding sleepers, but Iowa and the like don't need it.
Send your coaches to the big events, watch the matches on flo for the ones they don't go to, get a subscription to MatScouts to look at rankings, have Moriah setup recruiting visits.
You suggesting the new Tom Cruise Wrestling Center at the University of Iowa?
Wrestling center/Scientology lab…. It’s all good.You suggesting the new Tom Cruise Wrestling Center at the University of Iowa?
Oops, I forgot about that.
Another nevermind . . .
For fun, if I had a thought to change the Iowa staff…
I would Fire Tom, but retain terry. I think forcing terry to honor his contract under those terms would create just enough drama to help grow the sport. No one turns away from a train wreck.
I concede this wouldn’t improve Iowa wrestling (not my circus not my monkey). That being said, it would make for good drama. And in the immortal words of the black eyed peas “we don’t want no drama”… which in fact means we do want drama.

Hell yeah I hope you do! And after you get hired, I hope it becomes common practice for D1 schools to basically have a scouting department. Talk about a dream job… Haha you’d be creating glimmers of hope for guys like me!I'd be interested in that role and Tom knows it. I reiterated to him in Vegas last month.

This is ludicrous! Dumb whatever you want to call it! Tom is a straight shooter that tells it like it is. Recruits the right way and is not a used car salesman. He cares so much for our guys on and off the mat and is loyal to them all. Terry is the coach that everybody wants maybe not the best recruiter but he is what makes the program tick! Terry is the reason why Spencer is here and not at the other place. Ryan is so great at recruiting and puts in the extra work to get kids to come her the right. Without Ryan there is no Young, Kemdawg, Bull, Warner, I could go on and on but you get the point. Telford is probably the best big coach we have had and is molding Cass and Warner into something special. Be careful what you wish for without this group of coaches we would be in a world of hurt.
Also if I were to get ride of a coach out there it would be Manning no wait it’s pretty comical to watch him rant and rave from time to time. I guess the one thing I would really like to see is Cunningham get his own team and see how good Carl really is.
In an alternate universe, Willie is hired to Iowa’s staff and the first HR thread about it is a conspiracy theory that Willie was sent by Carl to take down Iowa from within.
Who has been responsible for bringing in all of the top pfp guys through the years?
not sure for most people. for myself, i'd want to obviously have input on targets, scholarship allocation, and plotting out future lineup. but i'd also need to be able to go to tournaments. while that's probably a non-starter at most programs, it's the only way i could assure myself the best shot to be effective. so much of recruiting (and particularly bust-rate) is ascertained outside of the six minutes on the mat. watching video just doesnt cut it.
of course. the current staff does great and is recruiting very well. i don't think Iowa needs a recruiting coordinator as much as it would be a luxury, add another perspective and lighten the load
Bc we are playing ask Willie questions. —What do you think is the biggest wtf when it comes to watching a hs prospect and then not panning out?? (Obviously injured wrestlers not included) I know you had a few people high on board that didn’t work out too well. (Not to jerk ya off, but your rankings are generally good)
in order to do that, wouldn't you have to be a full assistant? At least to make contacts with kids? Agree that to make good judgements need to see actions/interaction off the mat, following wins and especially losses.
So this thread has devolved into Q and A with Uncle Fester?
Legendary!
Legendary!
Willie, I'd have you serving Carver Cones, but that's just me.
Can I get one of those in a cup?

if he works the snack line I’m buying ten season tickets and giving them all to charity. I’ll attend one match to tell Willie I want sprinkles, because they are for winners.
A Q&A with me would be the most exciting thing this board has seen since Brody Grothus retired.
Especially if we can get some truth serum down your gullet first.
What about a Q&A with Brody Grothus and a retirement party for you, Willie?
As far as truth serum, I'd recommend some good corn whisky from Cedar Ridge up in Swisher. If that can't shake the truth outta you, nothing will.
ladies and gentlemen, Tcalumet for the worst idea of the day.
What about the magic man for coaching neutral wrestling? As an add on, not replacing anyone.
