Beth may listen to Tom's feedback, but she'd be a fool to let him have a say in who the next HC should be. And she ain't a fool.
She's taken on, and slayed, bigger dragons than TnT!
Jax was Okie St guy regardless.
He would have went there even without a coaching change.
While Jax was a heavy okiest lean. It was not set in stone. If Pendleton gets the job, I don't think he goes there. Would have been Iowa or PSU, whichever Bo didn't go to.

But but but he didn't NEED any of those guys he just WANTED them therefore he didn't really lose any of them.
Exactly, well said. Its going to take Iowa matching the progress of what DT is doing at OK St as well. And another few teams getting finalist and maybe champs. Nothing will change until PSU stops getting 7/8 finalist and 4 champs every season. At this point Cael probably hopes Brands, Ryan, Eggum, Manning all get 10 year extensions because he can pull any national kid over them in his sleep. DT is the only other recruiting force even on a level to compete at this time. This isnt hard to see. The question is who could best get into the Cael, DT arms race? Even if JB doesn't pan out you still didn't lose because it obvious that time when Tom had that type of prestige and recruiting power is long gone. Unfair or not Iowa is viewed as old and stale and you cant even win an individual title let alone a team title. MSU they are viewed that way regardless if PUS wins the title or gets 2nd to OK st or even VT in the future.
Iowa's problem is an Iowa problem regardless of Cael greatness. If Cael got hit by a bus today and Cody takes over...Iowa still isnt sexy.

Are Terry & Morningstars contracts due before Tom's?
How do we know if Beth will renew those to even match out Tom's timeline?
Things are going to work themselves out if Beth doesn't want to put anymore gas in the tank and the car runs out gas. I odnt see Tom as someone who will just leave himself stranded if the writing is on the wall.
Also how do you explain that to a kids parents when they ask if you will still be coaching after they commit?
V Baby has been incredibly accurate lately on everything. He must have multiple "Deep Throats"
I am down to 1 "like" on the alerts at the top right corner. I need a few more please
...
I agree with the Pendleton part.
I did say without a coaching change, he still ends up at Okie St
I believe there are quite a few who think he ended up there because of Taylor.
Not saying Taylor didn't appeal to Jax, but he's there if John is still the head coach.
Didn't Jax have a close relationship with Coleman Scott back to the North Carolina days??
Correct.
So if John/Coleman are there, Jax is.
But prior to DT entering the picture - Pendleton actually held a meeting telling his team he was leaving.
Theres no reason she shouldnt listen to his input. Hes been part of the program off and on since he was 18.
Yes, Jax was a big Coleman guy. Jax also loved Iowa and so did his father. We see how far that went unfortunately
Nah, it wasn't a surprise to anyone that was paying attention. Bo stated he wanted to be a program difference maker. He would've just been one of several studs at Penn State while he would've been THE guy at Iowa like Spencer before him.
I would love to know what a great roster would cost. Say 3 hammers who are multi time champs. 4 others that at top 4 and have a real shot at a championship and 3 others that are top 6. 10 other guys that could AA. Another 10 that are fringe AA. Would that get close? What would it cost?
That's likely Bassetts thinking but many here were surprised, not sure what the thoughts were on your board. He was the #1 recruit, living in Pennsylvania and PSU looked to be going hard after him. I always wondered why PSU didn't snatch him up when he decommitted to Iowa, couldn't have been outbid by VTech.
Jax did not want to wrestle in college with Bo or what?
Says who?? They even took multiple visits together?? Have wrestled together for how many years before. Don't believe they wouldn't want to wrestle together in college.
No, Jax did not want to wrestle with Bo in college
Schools like PSU and OSU loved Bo and Melvin. It was the accompanying circus that kept it from happening.
And Papa B
Bo should have been at PSU, the ink was wet.... but dad asked for more.
Every school loved them, as you would be getting the #1 recruit from back-to-back classes.
That seems to be the issue, is the greedy dad. And the kids are just a puppet on a string. Which is too bad, gives the kids a bad name. I could careless for Bo after "God told him Iowa wasn't the right place". But he was a big name, and it was a big loss.
Sounds like you should take it up with God.
God hates Brands. Its pretty obvious.
Well... I have no doubt that God is a devoted wrestling fan, so not suprising he has those schools and wrestlers that he favors. I know for a fact that he hates "Wait til next year" Nebraska and Meecheatagain football.
Or the ink was wet at Va Tech? He's had a good amount of wet ink...
