bummer, david taylor granted his release....
Jamie recently claimed it was Cael's. I'm not convinced. However, it's water under the bridge. If there's a curtain this year, we'll know. -

bummer, david taylor granted his release....
I get where you are coming from and you bring up a good point. For me when it comes to not granting releases for recruits I think that's when you cross the line to vindictive. Things have changed, the high school kid doesn't want to come here, we can't make him come here, and there's no need... -

bummer, david taylor granted his release....
In this case it doesn't matter much. It's an LOI and if ISU didn't release he could still attend the school of his choosing and sit out next year. He's probably going to RS wherever he goes anyway so there's not much effect. Now, if we start giving our current guys unconditional releases I... -

Jim Gibbons wanted this job
I agree with this completely. Plus, Jim is a class guy and played a major role in the program as a mentor for Cael. He gave up his own time, sacrificing for the good of the program. By all accounts he was pushed aside quite quickly by Pollard. That's disappointing. He deserves more respect... -

Murphy and Andy - Kevin Jackson new head wrestling coach
RE: "Only one offered" Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better. You clearly do not have an understanding of how coaching hires work. This isn't like hiring a new clerk at Kum and Go. Manning and Brands could have both had the job if they wanted it. Gable, too. This is just... -

Lincoln Journal Star says Manning was "offered" job
Gee--ya think??? I meant other posters beat me down a bit. LOL -

Murphy and Andy - Kevin Jackson new head wrestling coach
He also had the advantage of being Cael Sanderson. KJ just doesn't have that draw among recruits. One wouldn't think so, anyway. -

Murphy and Andy - Kevin Jackson new head wrestling coach
I really don't know what you want me to say. I guess for starters I didn't know you were the board police. What I've posted about other coaches being offered was also reported by the media. Both Mark Manning and Terry Brands were persued by Pollard and could have had the job if they wanted... -

Lincoln Journal Star says Manning was "offered" job
I've posted it several times and basically been told to shut up, but here goes anyway. Basically, though we still have a well funded and fully funded program there is not a lot of room for growth right now. Also, there were some issues that Cael and JP butted heads over. Nothing major but the... -

Murphy and Andy - Kevin Jackson new head wrestling coach
Make no mistake, he was not our first choice. JP can claim that he was and he can claim that he's the only one we "offered" but that's bending the truth considerably. That doesn't mean he's not a good candidate for the job. I'm excited for the KJ era. -

Wrestling Team to meet Pollard at 3:00 today?
Pollard exchanged thoughts and opinions with well-connected members of the wrestling community. During such conversations he indicated perferences--sometimes strong preferences--towards one candidate or another. That's all I will say on the subject. -

Wrestling Team to meet Pollard at 3:00 today?
See--if you post enough names, sooner or later you are right. I have my reservations about the hire. I thought we could get someone with a more favorable background, but I definitely DO like the guy! I think he'll do very well. His passion is a huge plus. Word on the street is that he may... -

Wrestling Team to meet Pollard at 3:00 today?
I don't mind this stuff. I don't take myself or the Internet that seriously. I've never run and hid from anything I've posted, either. Coaching searches are a funny thing. Opinions by decision makes can change by the minute. One day it's likely one guy, the next it's another. It's the... -

Wrestling Team to meet Pollard at 3:00 today?
I never throw crap out in the sense that I'm making things up. It may be info that turns out to be crap but they are from connected people that I trust. For instance, I heard on Saturday that it was Heskett with an announcement within a day or two. I think that person took an interview to... -

I heard the same. But then someone else told me it WON'T be Jackson. Final prediction (I swear): Jackson -

Lincoln Journal Star says Manning was "offered" job
I think it's a strong possibility. I also think that those in wrestling circles know a little more about why he left than Cael has let on in public. -

Wrestling Team to meet Pollard at 3:00 today?
I can confirm the 3PM meeting. I can't confirm a press conference. JP made another run at Terry Brands. Shot down again. I think Bobby Douglas is going to be involved with the program again. -

Lincoln Journal Star says Manning was "offered" job
Again, it's semantics. He was offered the job for all intents and purposes. -

Lincoln Journal Star says Manning was "offered" job
We've gone into this before. Coaching hires aren't like hires in the business world. There are back channel communications, promises made, winks, loose contract offers made, etc. These things are shades of grey. The point is this: Mark Manning was made to understand that if he wanted the... -

Spooner or wrestling guru's...
Dylan recently signed a contract that takes him through next season. He'll at least be in the job he held last year. A new coach could choose to move him up.
