No, from all accounts I hear he is a great coach, down to earth and connects well with guys. I think if everyone takes a step back and looks at the situation objectively this will all be a positive going forward. Just because someone appears relaxed doesn’t mean they are not a fierce competitor and good motivator. I like his approach.Does anyone else worry about DSJ as the AHC?
Jay is in Marion , he has had concussion issues so not sure he would be able to coach at that level .Don't think he is. He has a pretty successful career going, but you never know. Where is Jay Borshel at now? He doesn't have much freestyle experience though. Backes would be an excellent choice if he came out of retirement.
On the Cyclone Report last night on KXNO, the guys alluded to a physical altercation between coaches. Did that really happen? And was it a significant part of Zadick's dismissal? Or just a minor incident that wasn't itself a significant part of the problem? After all, wrestlers like to handle things physically.
I'm more worried about his recruiting and him now basically being the director of a major D1 program. This job involves A LOT more than being a good room coach.No, from all accounts I hear he is a great coach, down to earth and connects well with guys.

That was one of about 5+ reasons..and it wasn't even near one of the top reasons..On the Cyclone Report last night on KXNO, the guys alluded to a physical altercation between coaches.

Couldn't agree more. Pretty scary actually. You have to be able to communicate and keep up with these kids. If you aren't, other coaches are. They like using social media. None of the coaches are active on social media like some of the other big teams.I'm more worried about his recruiting and him now basically being the director of a major D1 program.

Look at his social media accounts..he literally has nothing on his twitter profile that even makes it seem like he is a coach at ISU. Look at all of the other stud recruiters at top programs. They are all VERY active on social media. DSJ has basically not done anything on social media for months. In today's world, you HAVE to be doing this stuff. Simple likes and retweets of recruits goes a long ways. The old football staff is a prime example of how to not do stuff and the new football staff is a prime example of how to do stuff.
Just my opinion. I also understand a lot more goes into recruiting than just social media. But the AHC is a HUGE part of recruiting and that was one of the major reasons for the change that is currently happening from my understanding.
I do agree you make good points. Hopefully those areas will be addressed. I guess my point is with the last regime we went the other way with decent recruiting (on paper) and lack of development. I really believe we have more “talent” than people think, but impatience when it comes to developing kids. Seems like there are a lot of college ready kids out of high school, but they may or may not develop further. Just my 2 cents, and I know times have changed somewhat.I'm more worried about his recruiting and him now basically being the director of a major D1 program.

Amigos the Voice of Wrestlings got a foot in each boat on this one I like that burr faced little packrat Zadick hes been one of my best sources thru the years but he aint reel good at getting along with folks nor following the rules got hisself crosswise with John Law about harvesting some deer outa season but tell me one of you guys aint poached a time or two and Ill call you a liar Barta told Tommy run him off and thats what he got a bus ticket outa town and Tommy threw him to the wolves.
Now all them little Tommy boosters over on that Hawkeye board talking gleeful like about Zadick and how Dresser aint gonna make it but gents they dont know nothing about wrestling just Tommys reel close friends posting up about how grate Tommy is Dresser says first hes gonna challenge Tommy then hes gonna smash him and he almost did it down to VA Tech and mayhap he gets it done up to Ames College Dresser aint afraid to brake a few eggs ran off all KJs trash and told Zadick to take a hike aint no love lost there but gents its about getting it done and Dressers gonna do whatever it takes to bring a title back to Ames the Voice of Wrestlings word is as good as gold.
Now Tommy was taking my direction gents got hisself a reell good 184 lber and added some diversity Abe was a reel smart move but Tommy dont brake your arm patting yourself on the back you hired yourself a no name for 40 grand for that strenth and conditioning coach a homeboy from down to Wellman a Caseys and a crossroads town reel nasty spot full of mean spirited people the Sherriff down there dont like Mudflap and the feelings returned gents you hire a guy for $40k you dont got yourself a strenth and conditioning coach you dont got ****.
Dresser aint that type of gent Caballeros he does what it takes reel heartless like thats why hes got a chance to overtake Tommy gonna stick it to him not this year but you gents watch my word its gonna happen.

You have to have an open mind and maybe a couple drinks before reading any of Mudflaps postings

I love Flap! Good stuff as always hombres. I used to think it was Zadick's bro as well. I have no clue nowadays.One rumor was mudflap was Zs brother. I would say now that that isn’t the case.
