Since when does being somewhat successful in a minor sport qualify one to be an Athletic Director?
He's definitely one of the best players to never win a Major. Finished 2nd a couple times.
He's in a position to win as many Natty's by himself as the football team has won.....ever.
He's in the perfect spot. If anything, Frost should ask him for some advice on how to motivate a team through adversity and how to keep your head when things are going to ****.
I'm not kidding
A minor sport? Like wrasslin'?volleyball is 10x the sport than wrasslin'
How many national championships has Cook’s teams won?
How many conference championships has the Ferentz klan won?

Actually yes, that was pretty good for their athletic department. Look where they are now with their Hockey program and facilities. Basketball competing in Division 1 playing for NCAA Tourney appearances. It was a tough decision but luckily he had the balls to do it.
Not to mention their baseball team made a regional in 2019 and even took an early lead against #1 UCLA. They did end up losing that one 5-2 and getting thumped the next day but it was about as good a performance as Erstad's teams put up in NCAA play in 2016 and '17
Every Power 5 conference schools have Volleyball.
6 schools have wrestling in the ACC
3 Schools in the PAC12
4 schools in the Big 12
Only 1 in the SEC (Missouri)
Only conference that gives a **** about Wrassling is the Big 10..
End of Story!

It's called the Peter Principle. Just leave Cook where he is at, he seems to be doing just fine where is is.
no Kidding. Especially a minor sport that very few places even pay attention. It's understandable that we live in one of those few places, and JCs success is remarkable. But, running a minor sport that is financed beyond what most others he competes against isn't a glowing AD resume.
There are 76 NCAA Division I wresting programs across the country with 10 maximum scholarships per team.
There are 334 NCAA Division I women's volleyball programs with 12 scholarships per team.
It's like comparing a program that climbs Mt. Everest in Nepal to a program that continually wins the race to the top of Mount Trashmore in CRapids.
I'll take the program that knows how to climb a real mountain and generates a profit for its athletic department.

so talented is more diluted in the minor sport of volleyball that very few places care about, than it is in the minor sport of wrestling that very few places care about?
Wrassling isn’t even a team sport it’s a Individual sport like tennis, golf and track.so talented is more diluted in the minor sport of volleyball that very few places care about, than it is in the minor sport of wrestling that very few places care about?
Volleyball is a team sport like Football basketball and baseball..
Time to go back to the Herky board..
Oh you're talking about volleyball? No one outside of this board has heard of a John Cook in volleyball.
There are more college bowling teams than volleyball. Volleyball is and always will be considered a MINOR sport.
No one has heard of Tom Brands outside the Herky board..
Fact is Women Volleyball is more popular than wrassling.. ask ESPN.
With a name as common as John Cook I’m sure millions of people have heard that name. If not billions. Just in the Us alone there are over 12k people named John.
It's odd that you're not a volleyball fan. It's the one sport in which relentless Big Ten butt lickers can blather on and on and on about being the best conference in the country and actually be correct.
Iowa doesn't like volleyball. They lose most of their matches and we take their best prep players.
