I know that's where I first saw this.

Though - I still think this sites anti-barry group is more vocal

Some people are suggesting that J retire. They are NOT calling for his head as they do here for BD's. But they remember the "good old days" with Marty Morgan and want him back. I don't even know if he is in wrestling anymore. Last I heard he had been coaching Lesnar when he was in MMA and selling real estate. You are only as good as your last victory seems to be the theme concerning most coaches.

Marty has been helping Jared Lawerence with the freestyle Storm team that trains in the Gopher room. He is also involved with the school program where his son attends.

working out in North east Minnapolis also with his boys.

Doubt he would ever go back to Minnesota though but that is just my opinion.

While it has been widely known that Minnesota would/is going to be down this year but dont count them down for long. They have a nice recruiting class coming in and is also working on another group of high schoolers this year that should be very good.

JRod still kills it in the kitchen from what I have been told, still has the skills to get the kids there. Plus Eggum is a pretty good assistant coach that would be really liked at many colleges.

Yes, LG; I do recall reading recently about some great recruits coming in for the Gophers and the credit reportedly goes to J. Rob. Apparently, the old boy's still got it.

How old is he? He looks old to me and I'm 62. No, my eyes aren't bad, either!

Thanks for the info. Yes, he is on the old side, compared to most wrestling coaches. My point was that it doesn't matter, 'cause he can still do the job well. If Minnesota fans are calling for his job, after one rebuilding year, they simply don't appreciate their blessings. Not intended as a slam on Barry, but I think a lot of Badger fans would trade them without batting an eye.

O no it is not empty by any means. Just reshirts, the nice recruiting class that is in their first year and the 2016-2017 incoming recruits are going to make for a very good team in the next couple of years. Plus they have some nice kids in the program right now and next year there is going to be some very good wrestlers sitting on the bench!

Ghetto · January 03, 2016, 12:09:07 PM

Right LG. They are reloading. We are in agreement on that.

You have more knowledge than I do of that program. What is the key? Is it JRob? The assistants? The facilities? What?
