Terry Brands>>>>

Yes I'm sure that's just what he wants to do now that a 2 time world champion will be in the room next year!

If Terry ever leaves it will be to coach USA.
And that 2 timer will likely be a 4 timer before he even starts fall semester at Iowa.
 
Minnesota does seem like a good fit for Terry. As a wrestling fan, I can't imagine anything more exciting in wrestling then a legit Terry vs Tom rivalry as opposing coaches. How much fun would that be?
 
if I was minny fan last thing I would do right now is go on someoneelses sight and stir crap.

Bingo. Imagine how heated it could get. Terry needs to spread his wings. I thought he'd be a good fit for Fresno. Mr. Steiner is a good fit however.
 
I've always thought he'd hold out for head coach of USA, think he's comfortable right where he's at
 
Why wouldn't he want to be a head coach? Everybody outside Hawkeye nations thinks he is Tom's inferior.
 
I am outside the Hawk nation and I do not think he is Tom's inferior. I have a ton of respect for a guy who wants to work with kids/men and doesn't need the glory or the spotlight on him.
Don't take the bait. This cat isn't doing a very good job but is still reeling in some posters.
 
The only possible thing he would ever leave for is HC of USA freestyle which he just turned down. I think it's pretty set in stone that he'll be in IC the next 7 years(Nelson) unless there is a life changing event.

He didn't turn down anything.
 
Word on the street is he can't handle the pressure of running a program by himself...or I should say handle the pressure of making the calls.
 
Terry is a mat guy. He likes working with wrestlers. There is NOTHING wrong with wanting to be "just" a mat coach. He has a great gig, does well for his family and continues to build a great reputation in the sport. He was a pick for the USA job. That I know. Did he decline, did they not come to terms or whatever I don't know. The world needs more people who love what they do and Terry is fortunate to be in that place.

I don't see minni as a good fit for him. He would be a great head coach but I don't know he would be happy. The current set up is perfect for both. Maybe that changes but for now, it is a dream.

Just saying.
 
Family is important to this bunch. Grandma Bonnie relocated to IC ONLY when T&T were BOTH settled in town. Now there are grandchildren/grandparent relationships to consider as well as uprooting kids from schools.

Add the above to the fact that Terry, apparently, prefers to operate in more of a coaching and less managerial capacity than expected of a D-1 head coach.
