It comes from a guy that drags Iowa Tom through the mud at every opportunity and bows at the altar of David. The $500k number is fake, but of course that’s not the part of the post he corrects. More odd behavior from an “Iowa” fan. Take it with a grain of salt.
What is there to correct? drunkengoat said he knows "for sure" that Hendrickson was offered $400k for his package. (LOL)
I don't know the exact numbers for the okiest guys that John/Coleman offered, so I'm not saying anything about it. I do know that DT balked at the numbers, and I know what he's offering them now. I also know the number that Drake was offered by okiest, but again, was reduced by DT.
And sure, I'm a DT fan, and said that DT should be the Iowa coach. Please tell me what he's done since being hired at okiest that makes you think he isn't going to be a problem and could pass Iowa and challenge PSU? In less than a calendar year and before ever coaching a match, he already has a better recruiting class than Tom for 2025.
Will I be the first to pile on if there's a reason? Possibly. But Im an Iowa fan first, and Tom is currently and has recently done a damn good job. Spencer's Olympic Silver, getting Parco, Teemer and Buchanan, recruiting the 2026 class hard.
Hell, I'm even on board with Nelson going 174. Took me a weekend to get over it - but these are the decisions that lead to team titles. We need finalists and champs. And Nelson at 174 can be that.
