From everything I know about Mark, this sounds like complete and utter horse-hockey. His tolerance for off-the-mat and grades issues is notoriously minimal at best.My opinion only.... I am a little close to program.... Only stating what I have heard and witnesses not intended to bash anyone. Cody has not developed anyone from the program and the recruiting has been down " for Oklahoma".... The people in the know say that he was consistently absent from practices and functions....he lost the wrestlers as a whole. The parents, alum, and boosters wanted him out. One major issue was the problems off the mat and the grades were below average. AGAIN.... not bashing just is what it is.... Hope things work out for him!
You would of thought right???? Well something changed for sure. There were more then just a few wrestlers who found themselves in trouble off the mat as well as some just exiting on their own. The program was one of a small number at OU that did not maintain a 3.0 GPA. The AD knew something was wrong as to why they only gave him a one year extension prior to the resigning. I hope and believe he will be offered a job quickly at a new school.
I am not doubting you heard this but in overall scheme of things at OU wrestling is just not that important and certainly not as compared to football and basketball. I find it impossible to believe that donors who had 2.5 million dollars to give to football would hold it back over the wrestling coach being fired.I was told by a contact of mine, who knew a former OU wrestler, that some football donors were going to withhold 2.5 million dollars of football funding if he were renewed. I have no idea what their objections were.
Lies,Lies,Lies. All four of my children were promised $1.95 when I pass on. $2.50 is way more than I have. There is a stipulation however that the $1.95 can not be spent in support of the institution in Norman, OK so Micco will not have that to donate.I heard also it was 2.5, but it was 2.50 dollars and the big donor was big spender MiccoMacey. Just like his old man, keeping all that wealth to himself!
We have two good wrestlers????Word is 2 of their better wrestlers have asked for release. Falling apart over there.
Ha! I'll be spending my own $1.95 in Norman. THEN, I'll use your $1.95 to supplant that money. I'm a genius!Lies,Lies,Lies.

I know I'm the only one other then micco that cares but I'm about to lose all my connections over at OU. So the coaching carousel is down to Roselli, Hahn, and Lightner. Whoever it is has their work cut out for them. They are denying releases. Kinda strange I thought with no coach but hey..... That's what makes their program what it ain't!!!! Gotta look bad to any potential recruits the way the AD handles the wrestlers. They are in total limbo!!!
Ummmm...not one thing happens at OSU without the blessing of Boone Pickens. Holder is Picken's puppet. I wouldn't be criticizing OU in that area. OSU has absolutely no room for laughing here.Think they also gonna interview the donor/wrestling dad that bought out Cody!!!! Apparently Joe C is really not running the program!! Ha!

Jives with what I'm hearing. Rumor is that OU is willing to cough up big money for this wrestling hire. Since Joe Castiglione is notorious for being...frugal..., I have to assume a donor/collection of donors have stepped forward with cash in hand.Think they also gonna interview the donor/wrestling dad that bought out Cody!!!! Apparently Joe C is really not running the program!! Ha!
I'm hearing the same about Lightner.At this point I think Lightner gets it ONLY if all others refuse. No knock on him but history says they going another way. Joe C will screw it up I'm afraid.
But I digress, and honestly really have little interest in that topic. I'm going to believe one way until proven otherwise, and the topic at hand is OU's new wrestling coach, something I DO care a lot more about.
Micco, I have never talked or sent a message to 1990, so his sources are different then yours!Cowboyalum1990,
Here's my email. Feel free to contact me. I'd love to see if outr sources are the same.
