Perry can recruit no doubt but for coaching to develop international free style success, he's not the right guy. Totally unproven there. If Warner truly wants to be successful beyond just college, then of the choices listed Iowa is the only one that makes sense.
Regardless of the recruit, the situation, or the schools on the list, Iowa is always the only one that makes sense.
I hope your scoop isn't filled with the same stuff I used to have to shovel out of my Uncle's barn!
Will Minnesota know who it's Coach is by November signing day? That situation appears to have not moved an inch since J Rob was suspended.
I gotta agree. Minny has done a very good job over the last two decades with heavier guys. The biggest problem right now, even if J survives, is he's still very near the end of his coaching career. There's no way in hell he is still a HC by the time Warner is a jr./sr.
If the fate of the head coach is determined by then, they should go ahead and fire the new athletic director as well. I understand that you're a Minnesota fan, so you're trying to be optimistic but this entire situation is an unmitigated disaster for the wrestling program. I highly doubt that they will be handing out a contract to the head assistant coach that was on staff during all of this nonsense. That means that Eggum will likely be an interim head coach for a year, while they open a national search. No matter what, I highly doubt there will be a stable coaching situation for another year or two. If any recruit chooses Minnesota over other top programs it will be because they are huge gopher fans from birth or scholarship money is more important to them than anything else.
I didn't realize my words held so much power. One day after posting that situation hasn't moved an inch, Eggum is named acting Head Coach. I'm going to have to start mentioning the Powerball in some of these posts...........................
