When were they ever on top? I’m the 60’s?

From the 1920s until about a dozen years ago. 2009 or so is their last team title, but they are the most successful athletic program from any school in any sport in the history of college sport.

@@giacalonebuilding4443still ain’t gonna beat Penn state

@@user-do7go8lj8g maybe not in the next few years but I think they will shock a lot of people once they get a full class through the program. Especially if they fill the last coaching spot with dake that’s some serious firepower on the staff DT dake daton jimmy and Thomas. If I was a 17 year old kid I’d choose to wrestle for the guys I grew up watching over the guy I just heard about as the goat.

Boomer

He should be the main character!

How can you be an Iowa fan and excited about this lol? Unless you’re excited for the bland brothers to get booted up out of there. TBH if not for Spencer I think they’d be long gone

it's called gi jiu jitsu! ahhhh jkjk lol

For example I learned of Bo nickels before he was he mentioned in the MMA world just due to you

Chael had been one of the best supporters of amateur wrestling that I have ever seen.

Izzy x chael collab???

dead lol

And 14 of the 21 Senior Circuit losses were to Americans. Outside of his first few years he went u defeated for almost a decade outside of dropping one match to Yazdani (where he is 6-1 I believe head to head)

I don’t know about “in no time” unless he raids the portal, which feels counter to how you really build a program.

That’s why Dake and Cael, at least in the last 20ish years are the only ones clearly better than him.

That doesn’t sound that impressive for someone 275 pounds. NFL players that size benching in the 5-600s

@giacalonebuilding4443 Yeah but Derrick can bench like a NFL player AND fight. 455 is still 455. Lol

Not a secret,was talked about on multiple wrestling sites! Maybe true,maybe not,but if wada was the governing body,Brooks will not wrestle in the Olympics,,no if and or butts! Can't recall one single time they have ever changed a decision, even if was a clerical mistake! But its hard to believe Pen State made that error!

Why would he owe anything to coleman scott?

You can’t take anyone job. If you offered the job it is yours not someone elses.

@@ep6305 Coleman was a4 time all American and an ncaa champion for OKST. He was coaching there when Smith retired. It was Coleman’s job, he was heir apparent for that job. Taylor owed him the respect another wrestler owes to another. He knew Coleman should get that job. He called the AD and tried to get it away from him. It would be the classy thing to do to let a guy, who had been working his whole adult career and was an OKST all time great at that school, to let him have the job. To me Taylor showed no class.

@@wessidioussmoke5773 Coleman was going to get that job, he earned it. He was an all time OKST great, had a great coaching career, he revived that program this year and was the guy who should have got that job. Taylor called to try to get that job. To me it showed no class and no respect to a fellow wrestler. I lost all respect for him.

@aldrob108 what your saying isnt wrong. The OKSt administration didnt like what coleman brought and wanted to explore other options. Its not Davids choice to decide who the administration wants to or doesnt want to hire only if he wants to take the job or not. Plus its not like Coleman was his boy either then maybe itd be different
