The Ax Man is coming to D1

Indiana. Ten team points, 0.5 out of last.

Perennial Top Five Rutgers finishing 11th and closer to 12 Maryland than to 10 NW is pretty atrocious, even with Cruiseliner Nick's MFFs, but can't see that happening before nationals if at all.

While we're speculating about who the coach is, is there any speculation on who the replacement is?
 
It isn't speculation.

Well, let's see. We understand someone is being fired. We don't know who it is. We are sharing guesses, predictions and ideas about who it might be. Yet, you say that's not speculation?! o_O:confused:
 
That makes sense now, he and Brands had a fairly lengthy exchange at B1Gs. Maybe the firing and retiring are related ;)
 
That would certainly put a damper on the luster of Rutgers Big10 performance.

Well, let's see. He sent an email and informed the team. It was also announced by https://twitter.com/aruckdashel?lang=en
Wisco--I think you and Lobo Lion are talking about 2 different things. Willie posted about some coach soon to get the axe. You informed us that Barry Davis is retiring. But Lobo is speculating about who is getting the axe (has to be someone other than Davis, who is retiring).

No I think we are talking about the same thing. News broke about Barry then Willie posts about a firing. Maybe Willie just mixed up firing/retiring. Or maybe Barry was told either we fire you or your retire.

I talked to a person close to the Wisky program a few minutes ago, who talked to Barry in the fall in detail. no talk then about retiring, actually the opposite.
 
Askren could be blowing smoke but he tweeted a linked to the video "Coming Home"
I can't even bear to follow that dude anymore. All he does is blow smoke. So political, would be a bad hire imo for a coach anywhere.
With that said, he is a great wrestler and fighter. Would make a great assistant if someone could keep his mouth shut. Doubtful.

OK--I thought Willie knew of a real firing upcoming. If he was referring to Davis's retiring, then you were talking about the same thing. I'm sure glad we got that straight! :)
BTW--we got our picture taken with Davis at last year's NCAA's--he was very pleasant!
 
If you click the link WiscoWrastler provided, the release from Wisconsin states he resigned, no mention of retirement. Sounds to me it was one of those "mutually agreed upon" parting of ways.
 
A "retirement" is sometimes just a polite firing.
As the smart people say, guns don’t kill people, uh, bullets kill people. Firing is the firing of the gun. Retirement is the bullet. Or something. :)
