At work you could take a great engineer and make him a manager. But it was clear that being a great engineer required different skills than running an organization- some great engineers turned into mediocre leaders for a variety of reasons. I assume it’s the same for coaching. Being an assistant for 5 years would be really helpful, I suspect.

Stop discussing Schwab to Iowa... My buddy says the same thing and that'd be the least punk rock thing ever and I'd hate it.
Go Panther Train.
Go Panther Train.
el dub is a much better and more sane poster.
Best wishes for him. This season had to be brutal for him. After being an All American to sitting the bench.......wow. Enjoy the next adventure.
Id turn HWC over to him to build it back from the dumpster fire it is today led by dan dennis the degenerate. I agree with whoever said they don’t think he would make a good head coach. He do a great job running the hawk wrestling club and building it back up particularly if he does a nice international run if he stays healthy. It seems like he’s got a great relationship with the Japanese as does PSU.
Your last sentence is the most poignant one. No one I know, or can think of, just become a great head coach in any sport with no experience. And there are a long list of great players who weren’t great coaches. Like you pointed out, it’s a different skill set.

This probably should be a poll? @mcpat
Will Iowa fans give Carter a standing ovation if he wins his 5th?

Of course they will. They are the best fans in the wrestling world.
No need to stand, they can throw their drinks just as easily sitting.
He’ll be back for a 6th year. I fully expect Carter to get a special exemption med shirt for last year due to getting robbed of a fully healthy season and B10 title.
I have it on VERY good authority that I would never publicly name (Cenzo Joseph) that the paperwork has been submitted and the NCAA is going to grant it. They’re also giving Carter credit for all the time he wrestled with a broken hand a couple seasons ago.
First 6-timer baby!!
no but they will call stalling!
I mean, do they even know anything about wrestling? Because from what I can tell from their own forum, despite Iowa having a rich history of wrestling none of them seem to know a f*cking thing about wrestling. I guess the @vhsalum guy knows his stuff because I think he used to wrestle under Tom and Terry at Iowa? I don't know if he even posts over there but he's a solid poster and if he did wrestle at Iowa then I respect him. There is no tougher sport and I don't blame the athletes for their terrible fans.
Well then I may have been too gracious in my praise for him. I remember he used to post over here and seemed like a swell guy and I haven't personally seen him post anything off color.
JS and Madden are 2 of the best. My favorites are JRod and MPchillin and I know them more on a personal level not just the boards. Great guys for sure.
At least one of his personalities that use that handle apparently wrestled for Iowa. LOL. Madden is definitely a quality poster, too.
I refuse to believe that anyone can be a great person and an Iowa wrestling fan.
It's true though. 2 in particular helped me get through roughest time of my life. I actually feel blessed to have had them to talk to.
From what I've heard, GIAPet is a pretty good guy.
I don't really care for him...
So you're a paid mirror hater too?
I heard GIAPet and Lisa Morales eloped and are living under a bridge.
He was never the same after Lisa Morales put him through the ringer. Poor guy.
Is that what the kids are calling it now?
I’m glad they could help you out. Wrestling should be competition and fun banter, nothing more. Best wishes!
All this praise.... Did jmadden pass away or retire or get an Iowa Lifetime Poster Achievement Award. Guys save the hugs for Sunday we have a war starting on Thursday and those two Leprechauns they support are at ground zero.
What a great week this is, not only is it tournament time...but I also just achieved posting status on GIA.
