U of M wrestling under investigation
- Thread starter fred17hawk
- Start date
Did not feel you were coming at me. I just did not know the details. Did not follow him much but want to be fair. Thanks for the info.
What former gophers are there who they could bring in to coach? Assuming the clear out the whole staff any former MN guys who might be looked at?
Damion Hahn would be my choice. Plus, we would get to see him and Terry go at it more often.
Didn't Ferentz kick a couple FB players off the team about 10 years ago for either using or selling prescription drugs?
Brock Lesner gets my vote if they are going with an alum.

Marty Morgan would be the fans first choice. All the Gopher assistant coaches will be gone as they are the ones involved in the day to day innerworkings of the team, while J is about as far removed as any head coach could be. Plus, J may have decided to retire when he first found out about the drugs, so he will never release any wrestler names. It looks to me as if J is going out on his own terms, or he would have released the wrestlers names to the campus police.
What about Pat Popolizio? He's done a really good job at NC State, but I'd have to think the lure of a major B1G program would be pretty enticing.
With the class that he just got done recruiting? I don't think so Tim.
Only way I'd even see him consider it is if Gable Stevenson and Roman Bravo Young committ tomorrow.
I like Damian Hahn. Think that'd be a great hire.
I also find it funny that even tho the Gophers hate Iowa, they are throwing around ex Hawks names for their new head coach (Perry, Metcalf)
Kevin Jackson has done a great job at ISU, if he throws his hat in the ring, the job will be his.
Cops already would know who's involved...somebody is
It may have been one of the wrestlers that was dealing that snitched. You know the golden rule. First one to the cops gets the best deal, and he may have gotten wind that rumors were flying on campus and the lid was going to pop. In one quote, he says that he knows for a fact that they had about 2,500 pills and knows for a fact that they turned over 1,400 to JRob after dumping the rest in the river. That info likely came from someone in the dorm room the day they decided to ditch the drugs. Unless of course one of the dealers decided to blab to the other wrestlers about what they had done. That seems less likely. Just a thought.
Just a thought but let's not go there with individual names. Let the media do it.
Totally agree. Let's avoid this.
You're right, after I posted that I had second thoughts, my bad.
The use of initials was lol worthy. As if giving initials isn't giving away a name. Spies around the world are impressed with that level of code work.
Yeah, sorry about that. It was a F-up, I will self-impose a punishment and stay off of the boards for a while.
Shit happens. But let's let it happen on another board or outlet. I hope Brands is bringing guys in and giving the Come to Jesus speech.

I bet nothing happens here.
You know who is following this story? This board and 200 people in Minnesota. Oh, and the 100 visitors on our board from other schools.

Yeah...somehow I don't think that's the standard that will be met for action here. Universities generally don't like their employees condoning felonies.*
* PSU and Baylor excluded
I hear ya, I just don't think anything will come of this. I know it's SEC, but Butch Jones and his problems faded away and he was dealing with rape charges.
I heard Metcalf is interested if J gets fired though. You want that? Huh? Let's support JRob and his pill poppers.
Bottom line is we don't know what is really going on. Unnamed source for a local paper caught some wind. It is being investigated and in the next few days we will know. It is very possible this is a lot of piss and wind. Also possible it is not at the scale being reported. Jrob is a lot of things but he is not an idiot. I am going to wait for the story to unfold. If he knew and tried to cover it up, fire him. If he acted as reported because he did not know the scope, grace. Too many unknowns here to make a call.

Of course he's interested. It's one of the better jobs out there. He's going to be far down the list of candidates though.
What's your thoughts on Joe Pa? I really don't care about stats as drugs are an individual's choice. Maybe I'm old school but they appear to be spoiled. Parents had their thumbs on them. Get to college and they party like others but with pills. Weed and beer isn't enough for them. They have to post Instagram pics with money, shoes, and other dumbass clothes that they can't afford with out daddy's money. They acted up, probably haven't ever had a situation that they couldn't be bailed out of. JRob tried to be the parent that they should have had in the 1st place. I can't hold him accountable for what our world has come to.
You're right. He's not a parent.
And it ain't the parents fault that he had knowledge of felonies committed by his athletes and covered it up.
Not a cover up. It's all part of the intensive camp. You know, when they break it down at the end and say "I'm gonna be somebody."
The only thing on saw on the Guillotine was this (in the main JROb thread):
-------
think it's pretty obvious who the "former teammate" is that these articles are referring to. No longer any traces of them on Instagram or Facebook. There was some especially questionable photos coming out of the Instagram account.
Your guess is as good as mine.
It was stated there are 2500 pills involved. Makes me wonder if there is a former wrestler who is now a doctor?
The top bold sentence is my point.
The second is a what if. Notice the "also possible"
I added a couple of examples of the directions it could be. (A line break due to fat thumbs)
We don't know so speculation and trying to figure out names is a bad idea.
