Similar to Glock did to the firearms industry. They fought this stuff tooth and nail, now all are doing it.

The more likely scenario is that Cunningham leaves and becomes a HC and Taylor becomes an assistant, making HC salary. All the while his kids program and "business mind" (endorsements, national team, merch, camps, etc) are making him money...
Not in college wrestling no. Not even close.
Those guys didn't wrestle with NIL obviously either.
But the reasons aren't. Brands and DT were/are more attached to their respective schools than even Gable or Sanderson were to ISU. Winning team championships brings an attachment so much stronger than the individual aspect does. This is especially true when coaching. No dream job matches up more to someone that dedicated to their program than to go back there as the HC and do what you did when you were there wrestling.
I just don't see ANY way that DT would stay at Iowa if the PSU job was offered to him, unless he was already at Iowa for a long enough period of time that moving his family would become a major issue. So, short of really establishing some solid roots in the area, which would almost certainly take quite a long time, I wouldn't see him turning that job down.
With that said, my concern was really only with him leaving early on anyway. If he puts in 6 plus seasons before leaving, I would think he would either have got the program to a point where someone else could take over without it completely disintegrating. Or, you would have enough time to really know if he was really the answer or not.
I'm thinking both DT and Dake are doing well. Look at what Bo Nickal is doing, he has a lot of irons in the fire. Dake and Taylor seem to have their acts together

I do not think people realize how big endorsements are these days.
How can you make that comment about someone being more attached to their schools than another? You really have no way of knowing that. And your paragraph 2 is what I was referring to. Once you have set roots and made your own mark, there is no need to leave. Why be 2nd fiddle to the king and be compared to him when you can have your own?
I do not know if the source is accurate, but I doubt these guys are getting four figure deals lolol.
This is true, imagine you're 32 and have two kids and are married? Why move if you have it good?
Right. Obviously these are estimates and they could be way out of bounds. But you gotta think with the number of endorsements they are making good money.
Mark Ironside travels with the team for radio coverage and he said the illness rumors are false. FWIW.
interesting. He hasn't exactly been bullet proof over the years with some of the things he has said, but I would definitely be surprised he would say something like that without actually knowing the truth.
If that is in fact the case, what happened with Woods really scares me. No one has made him look like that his entire career. If that happened with no injury or illness, he may have really checked out this season...Fingers crossed that isn't the case....
i know this goes against the if you are not #1 crowd, but pst is going to score more points tonight,iowa can call it a victory if there are 5 or 6 matches that go down to wire and win 2,3 or 4 of them. 125(w), 141(w), 149,157,165(w), 184. 27-9 with 6 matches in question until the final buzzer would be an outcome to build on and this board will still be up in arms about everything.
So, let’s just give up and settle for battling for second place? I don’t believe it’s that dire. Put a solid team together and anything can happen.
Not what I said at all. The goal should ALWAYS be to put the best possible team together and try to win it all. I am simply arguing against those acting like Brands is WHY they aren't in 1st ahead of PSU and, even moreso, against those thinking there is some magical fix to get rid of him and leap directly into contention with PSU.
To be clear, I still believe Brands is Iowa's best chance to compete with PSU. Maybe a coach out there proves himself and shows the interest to take over and do better. But, right now, I do NOT see ANYONE that fits that description...
Oh FFS. I cant take it anymore. More like 1-4. Drake for the win. Go Fort Dodge.
I have IOWA +20 tonight. IF they do not at least cover. I am breaking SHEEEET AGAIN!!!! I also have Candy at 165 in a 2 part bet. 25 to win, and 25 NOT to get majored. IF He loses I will AGAIN be pissed, if he gets majored I will be outside in the dark breaking more SHEEET and HOWLING at the moon like a rabid BANSHEE!!!
IF you happen to live close and hear cazy sounds, BEST to stay FAR away!!!!!
GO HAWKS!!!!!

Iowa will come back to earth when Clark graduates. Kinda like Penn State did when Taylor and Ruth graduated.
I would not be at all worried about D1 coaching experience with him. Worrying about him leaving to take over PSU is wasted worry too. Even if it happened it means Carl is gone so not the end of the world.
he said some veery interesting things in the interview. He was the most unfiltered I have heard him in a while.
You must be right since you haven’t heard of them.Yeah those are some pretty big hitters. I buy those products all the time...
Jesus...a wrestling thread where Tom Brands is getting fired and talk of Caitlin Clark and women basketball as the most feared at the University of Iowa...we are in hell wrestling fans..just sayin....
You could have had +21 in one of the on-line sportsbooks yesterday.
I am confident Dake, Taylor, and JB are all worth > $1M, even more confident that Dake is not worth anywhere near $24M. Unless his name is actually Kyle Dake Pelosi, zero chance.
**edit: I stand corrected. Upon a deeper dive it seems he sold the intellectual property rights from his reverse aging technology for $22,500,000 **

never thought about that!!! Makes total sense about Brands and DT, and how easy it was for the two greatest wrestlers to leave thier Schools.
We may not win anymore but at least there arent any dastardly 'cars' in the driveway! Moral victories all around baby.
“Step on the throat” was exactly what I was gonna say he will want to do.
However, after thinking about it further, sitting guys would be the ultimate diss (provided it was still an ass-beating).
Either way, he’s a scumbag.

Maybe not a transparent Number 2 against Michigan last week, but we sure looked like the opaque kind.
