charmon55 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 With rumors of Koll leaving for Oklahoma and Griffith transferring out, do y'all think Stanford is wanting to be done with their wrestling program? I find it strange for Koll to be leaving so soon. Maybe he isn't feeling good about the future of the program and wants to get out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHROMEBIRD Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Patricia Miranda. I'm just joking around, but it would make a heck of a story and probably be a good for fundraising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is, are you recruiting young, male athletes...to Wrestle for a Women? I'm not trying to be sexist, just realistic. They can know more than anyone...but it's asking a lot. I think it's the same with Becky Hamon in the NBA or I can't think of a Female coach in the NFL. Get Dake and Taylor to go be her assistants for 200K a year with some of the money they raised and you might have some success out of the gate, but that's always going to be a problem you'll face as Women try to break into Men's sports as coaches. And if this was on Twitter, people would play dumb and ask why it's fine for Male Coaches to coach women's team like this is an issue you can argue away!

Koll is a smart guy. I’m pretty sure he looked into the COL before taking the job. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHROMEBIRD Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Because he could easily live in a bubble in Palo Alto and assuming he makes a decent salary could cruise along and finish in the Top 3 of his conference every year, have his pick of West Coast talent, own the camp scene in CA, enjoy nice food and weather... It would be like a vacation compared to a lot of the other jobs out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does not have pick of West Coast talent. 1 Sponsored by INTERMAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost every conversation is the same. 2 Sponsored by INTERMAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D3 for LU Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) Why THIS is just preposterous... Rob Koll just GOT there!!! ( What does it all mean... I mean. I mean he just got there! ) [Intro: Groucho, speaking] Well, I'm certainly grateful for this magnificant washout. Uh, turnout. And now, I'd like to say a few words: [Sung portion begins] [Groucho] Hello, I must be going I cannot stay I came to say I must be going I'm glad I came But just the same I must be going, la-la! [Margaret Dumont] For my sake you must stay If you should go away You'll spoil this party I am throwing [Groucho] I'll stay a week or two I'll stay the summer through But I am telling you I must be -- going [Party guests] Before you go Won't you oblige us And tell us all your deeds so glowing? [Groucho] I'll do anything you say In fact I'll even stay! [Party guests] Good! [Groucho Marx] But I must be -- going! (... sorry, I couldn't down size it to small-font type emoticon.)
