    Coaching Staff Next Year

    This was the perfect opportunity to show Tom is capable of evolving and having outside influences in the room. Yianni would have been an awesome hire for the optics alone (talent, recruiting, HWC notwithstanding). I hate that this will be considered as criticism to Warner but this is just more...

    Coaching Staff Next Year

    My points of; $46k salary is not enough money to make a splash hire from someone outside the program. And Mistakingly stating 4th assistant instead of 4th coach… We seem to have a similar opinion of the program, except you take the route of being an *** hole to everyone. It doesn’t...

    Care to explain to us why we didn’t get a top flight assistant with experience that can help address the recruiting woes if it is indeed Warner? Tom, Tom’s genetic clone, tom’s recruiter and tom again.

    Yes we all know about the unofficial HWC money that accompanied his $46K salary from 2025. Simply isn’t enough to entice a top flight coach from across the country for the 4th assistant job but I’m skeptical that was ever in the cards anyways. This is playing out exactly as most thought it would.

    So the only difference now is Warner is being paid by the university to continue what he has been doing? The position doesn’t pay a lot so I wasn’t expecting a home run. Was hoping for someone outside of the brands Iowa bubble.

    Thanks, I didn’t pay attention to who said it. Even still, I’m unsure what the joke is regarding frayer.

    If you had a Time Machine you could see him on staff. Early on in brands tenure as HC at Iowa he had gable, hand, Schwab, frayer, zadick and rutt as assistants.

    The Brands have silenced the haters

    You are the equivalent of the head groupie of a C-rate band. Anyone that has to try to brag about being “a big deal” for having some sort of weird gossip in a niche sport leads an incredibly sad, pathetic life. You mistake knowledge as wisdom. Real wisdom would have been able to make...

    Championship Thread

    I’m sure Mesenbrink handed out those humble handshakes to everyone his freshmen year when he lost right? With that said, I used to think he would make a good coach some day but his odd post match ramblings lead me to believe he won’t be sticking around the sport long after graduating.

    They can’t wrestle the matches for him. He couldn’t beat one second of riding time. Still kudos for wrestling up 2 weights.

    That is the lamest argument you’ve made yet. A non-Iowa fan on an Iowa board complaining about complainers because it somehow belittles smaller, successful programs… No one here should care about meaningless stats like “top five in 17 years” lol or 30 plus years with an individual finalist...

    Because we don’t understand how hard D1 wrestling is because he wrestled D1 at the worst big ten school thirty years ago. Also we are spoiled from gable’s years which occurred from fifty years to thirty years ago. Also we, the biggest fanbase in the sport are whiners for wanting change from a...

    There are a few posters here that mistake knowledge with wisdom. Notice they never say who they think should coach at Iowa that can address the issues with the program or even what it takes to get it to the next level. Being plugged into the gossip girl talk is everything to them… JB would be a...

    Next Year’s Lineup

    What if, of the 5 AA’s, all were 3rd-5th place. That’s a colossal failure. My hope is Mikey makes the finals and drake somehow beats the talented freshmen. My worry is Angelo defaults out after losing on the front side, Mikey gets upset, and Ben can’t get mean and be the dog we know he can be.
