I'm on this board all the time, watch practically every match, and travel from Dallas to watch matches; I say all this so no one can say that I'm just a fair-weather fan that only follows at nationals and the Big12's.
John has essentially killed this program. GOAT as a wrestler and kind of meh as a coach and Jimmy Carter level leader of a program. If you can't see this then I really can't help you. We have had "great" recruiting classes year after year. Yet amazingly you don't see the results on the mat. We are the freaking Texas Longhorns of college wrestling. I know it would be hard to flat out fire him but you need to have a conversation with him to either come up with his own exit strategy or simply be let go at the end of next season, short of a miraculous turnaround. (I'd prefer this season).
Our talent evaluation is piss poor, our roster development is piss poor, our preparation apparently is piss poor, clearly can't motivate anyone.
We have to go in a different direction. Pride and ego are killing this program. Sometimes when you find yourself in a ditch the best thing you can do is just stop digging.
Excuses are like aholes, everyone as them and they all stink. Almost guaranteed we will have the same group of folks coming in here with the same old tired excuses we've heard for 10 years. Oh if we didn't have injuries, oh we are young, oh we had guys that couldn't make weight and thus left us with a void, word vomit, word vomit, word vomit.
Without Fix we'd be a slightly better version of OU. Let that sink in.
