Precisely. Who knows down the line.
Same thing I think when people clamor for Taylor. Sure, when he's paid his dues in coaching. Iowa isn't an up-and-coming program, they should take the cream.

My money is on Metcalf evolving into a GREAT coach someday. He's devoted his post college life to completion, and now he will pivot to doing great things in the coaching ranks, IMO.
As for the question on whether TnT can co-exist with a guy who likes to tip a few beers, I have a feeling that they will be just fine on that front. I have no personal experience to point to here, but I intend to test this notion out myself at the banquet next week...will report back.
Quite certain they'll be fine with it... I mean, Royce Alger and Randy Lewis have been staples in the room for years and mentored many a Hawk wrestler under TnTs watch... Should be nuff said on that front.
1. Imagine a future Iowa with Perry and Metcalf as co-existing coaches... That's a lot of intensity on one bench.
2. I would bid on a future "Get Hammered With Mark Perry" auction item (ala dinner with Brands).
I don't know about him otherwise but I don't agree with you here. He added a nugget that wasn't yet reported about the donors and he has been the first to specifically state the HWC job. Gotta give him a nod for that.
I'm not saying I have either, or defended him.
Btw, if the IA Wrestle article was already out to it's entirely long before his tweets, my bad. I was wrong.
Not that anyone cares, but an aneurysm is a dilated portion of a blood vessel, analogous to one of those weak spots that sometime develop in a basketball that causes it to "pooch out".
Aneurysms can develop in a wide variety of blood vessels, most notably including arteries in the brain and the aorta. In some cases, they can rupture, with potentially catastrophic consequences.
Now, back to wrestling.
My eyes in St Louis this year say differently haha
Same could be said of many of the wrestlers and coaches. I love the fact they come out Sat night after finals and be normal ppl and interact with the fans. Hell JRob closed the bars down Sat night in STL I would hope Perry could still hang too!
I went back and looked through wrestlestats' numbers on him and used the compare tool to Jordan, Massa, etc... and it seems overall like he has a much different pace in big matches. Where there are common wins, he usually scores notably less. However, when I look at his numbers the last couple of years at nationals, he definitely scored more than Howe's typical 2-3 pts per. I still have this impression that he's not an offensive machine but you make good points about instances where he does open up.
Wasn't saying he was born again. Just a lot, a lot better then he was. At nationals u can say that about most coaches, wrestlers, parents....just about everyone
We will be waiting breathlessly for that report.
I imagine wrestlers/coaches letting off steam at nationals could get rowdy.Wasn't saying he was born again. Just a lot, a lot better then he was. At nationals u can say that about most coaches, wrestlers, parents....just about everyone
Reading Harty's 'AllHawkeyes' article, was a little bummed he had to say have an 'according to FloWrestling' in there. Why not ping Randy, or hell, quote the cesspool!
Well for years reading almost anything written by Hardy would leave most a little bummed.
Same here...I think Brent is going to be an awesome coach. There is a reason why he was selected to be the development coach in C Springs.
So, with the banquet a week away...
I wonder if they'll announce this there....?

Worth buying a ticket or table to find out. Would be pretty awesome if that happened. Look for an IL license plate in the parking lot!
The Bud Light area at Nationals this year was the only place to buy alcohol if you weren't in a suite. After Friday night they closed it because they had to call a bunch of StLouis finest to get people to leave.
VERY GOOD POINT.
Extra incentive to attend the banquet! You just never know who might show up there. Shoot -- no matter what surprise guests may or may not show up, the place is still bound to be crawling with wrestling legends and current stars!
I heard about a place last year too. Are you saying when you are in the stadium there is a place you can buy beers with normal seats? Can you take back to your seat?
lol just admit it. You would take a 2 time champ if it meant Perry to HC at HWC.
IMar could come to Iowa to wrestle next year IF he graduates.. It would be a similar situation to what happened when Jake Rudock transferred to Michigan to play his last season.
Except I'm gonna bet IMar would win the starting spot at Illinois. . . .
Except Rudock isn't even in spitting distance of sniffing a National Champions jock.
No, you have to stay up there and have your drinks. Friday night there were a couple hundred people in there.
When Tom and Terry decide to hang it up here's my thoughts on the staff...
McDonough, Metcalf, Morningstar, Perry and Stoll!!

A safe space and just wanting to get away from an annoying human being are two entirely different things.
