Agreed. Also, no way John Smith didn't bless this hire.

Willie and Basch said it was a ridiculous amount. So much so that it'd be "irresponsible to refuse".

Just realized DT would've got a $500k check for repeat gold medals. So, maybe over the long term, but this year it might be a wash.

I just can't see them doing him that dirty. Coleman knew he was putting himself in the driver seat to be HC at one of the best programs in the country after 12 years at UNC. I don't think they guaranteed him anything other than a fair shot at the job. I also can't see them hiring anybody without John Smith's blessing. But, I could obviously be wrong and perhaps OkSt will screw one of their own over for a chance at another championship. Would need some input from the OkSt guys.

But do we know there was a deal to lure him from UNC?

Great question. It's obvious DT decided to turn the job down after consulting his inner circle (cael) before they sweetened the pot. I wonder if he got permission from the almighty Cael before accepting. The new persona non grata?

And the starters only wrestle 15 matches a year. We needed a changeup in the sport.

Poor cows. DT will be having some celebratory steaks tonight.

I always chuckled at those comments stating he'll never leave cuz of cows, some businesses, and M2 which is still fairly new. As if some cows and smoothies are gonna stop him from taking the job of a lifetime.

I've never been to state college, but one would think Oklahoma is a much better place to have a farm / livestock, right?

Lol, was wondering the same. With talks of Levi redshirting this year for Facundo, is there any chance he leaves? I'm struggling to see any of the starters leaving.

Okie State is gonna have to publish DTs salary. I'm interested if he's on par with Brands and other top notch coaches. AB might've just made DT a lottttt of money.

No secrets here, there was a live stream on Twitter by Reattack with 300+ people saying Jimmy Kennedy and Gilman are the assistants. Believe it came from Willie and Basch's Livestream originally.

People are reporting that Jimmy Kennedy and Thomas Gilman are likely to follow him.

Let's go Magic Man! Huge for wrestling.

Actually...

I believe he signed a deal for $550k in 2022 that increases $50k a year until 2029.

Maybe Magic Man leaked some false info to get the boosters to dig deep into their pockets... Smart man

CP told everyone DT declined, but sounds like the opposite is happening. More infinite wisdom...

I'm halfway thinking DT is doing it just to make Christian Pyles look like a buffoon. Let's goooooo (if he did accept).

Holy shit, the magic man to OkSt?!

I don't think anyone knows for certain if they promised him the job. He might have seen the writing on the wall with J Smith and put himself in the best position to win the job. Like they said on FRL, Coleman was basically a for sure hire at OkSt because of where he positioned himself, but if he didn't move to OkSt, would he be the #1 candidate? Not sure he would be. Very smart strategic move from Coleman regardless of if they promised him anything. Also, Coleman has gotta be salty either way. If DT passes on this, he's the third choice and wins by default. Who's to say he won't be on the chopping block in the future. Not sure how I'd feel about that if I were him.

I was curious as to why they hated Gable, and it came down to two things: 1. He apparently sucked behind the mic and 2. His previous SA allegations Almost every fake wrestling post I've seen is bringing up #2 and are glad he's gone because of it. They believe WWE is distancing themselves from anyone with a history like that due to the allegations against Vince, not to mention everyone believes he got off due to a legal loophole. This was news to me...

I wonder if Jesus himself gave Brooks the OK to take PEDs. He clearly takes bible study serious if he's addy'd up. Surely they'll factor that in to the TUE?
