okccoach86 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Who do you think will be the next coach for the Cowboys? Coach Smith is the greatest american wrestler of all time and one of the greatest coaches of all time but lately the NCAA finishes have been far under par from what they used to be. The cowboys have had great recruiting classes but it seems some of the wrestlers have not panned out. What is going on in Stillwater? I hate to say this but change is needed.

Wrestej Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I don’t think Smith is going anywhere but if he decided to call it a career would have to think Pendleton is high on the replacement list if not at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okccoach86 Posted November 2, 2022 Author Share Posted November 2, 2022 To me as an OK State fan my whole life it is a shame to see such a drop off. I am just wondering if the University has a clue who they want when Coach Smith retires or steps down. It seems like places like Penn State, Iowa, Arizona State, NC State have evolved with the times and Ok State has not. I would like to see a Chris Pendleton Coleman Scott or David Taylor type come in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the rumor, Smith should be doing what he can to get the program firing on all cylinders. But he hasn't done that in a couple of years so maybe he is burnt out. Makes a great commetator, I really enjoyed watching the Olys with he and Jordan on the mic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
