John Smith isn't just an Oklahoma State legend; he's an American legend both on and off the mat.
I hope DT has tremendous success at OKST.
Best of luck to David. He will be missed as a Nittany Lion, but I think this is great for the sport we love. Just a great representative of the sport and I hope he succeeds. I’m looking forward to OK St getting second every year…
Enjoy being the best while you can. With DT as the Cowboy coach your time at the top is coming to an end
I'm not even an OK St fan, just a fan of college wrestling and I'm feeling kinda giddy for the Cowboys. Massive challenge to replace the legend of a wrestler and coach at a legendary program, but y'all seemed to have pulled it off.
I'm a former OSU wrestler and I've never been this excited about the program since graduating. Feel like I can be excited for the Pokes again and see them back on top.
I agree osu had balls doing this and it was awesome great hire!
They are giving it a top notch swing that's for sure. Collegiate wrestling needs more competition at the top I think it's excellent. Excited to watch the Cowboys ride into town
I'm a Penn Stater and I'm excited about this. It's going to be great for college wrestling. OSU is now my second favorite college wrestling program, and I'll certainly be rooting for DT and all of his wrestlers, except when they're wrestling against my Nittany Lions.
Probably the number one YT watched video in the wrestling community for the next month
I'm watching it again 🤣
So happy to have David Taylor and company coming to Oklahoma. We are truly grateful!
David almost looked sad as he held the OSU warmup. He's ending a huge chapter of his life. I hope he finds his place at OSU and becomes an historic coach of an historic chapter for the Cowboys.
Stoked for him and college wrestling. Can’t wait.
Wow. DT is one inspirational man. This is historic! So stoked to see what coach Taylor brings to OSU. Happy for Gillman too.
As a Penn State fan I'm sad to see DT go but ultimately it's good for wrestling and great for the Magic Man.
Lol. It's worth it when you think about Iowa competing for 3rd every year rather than 2nd.
Hoping Coleman, Chris and Tyler land great jobs for themselves and their families. Fantastic men and Coaches.
Pendleton has been at Oregon state for a few years. I think Guerrero is the other coach
Never been an Okie State fan until this week. Already got my shirt in the mail!
Oklahoma state is my new favorite wrestling program
He knows what it takes to be at the highest level and has the personality to transition what he knows and has learned with others. He’s a humble man. He’s perfect for coaching.
Wild that an Penn State former wrestler and a Iowa former wrestler are Oklahoma State wrestling coaches
And possibly Dake after the Olympics
Wait til you find out who coaches PSU.
Always a huge fan of DT. Congratulations! Great hire by OSU. I really hope they can wrestle PSU in a dual every year going forward.
This is so wild, I remember being little and watching him wrestle. I loved his story to greatness
If DT wanted to make a very smart move and jump ahead of Penn State he would ask Colman Scott to be the RTC coach and director.
"Being uncomfortable creates many good things." Wow!
College wrestling is interesting again! Almost died of boredom during athlethic director's openimg speach. I am here because the Magic Man. Good luck Dave, glad you choose this option, i will be watching your season, nothing else would have made me do it because I am a casual fan, wish you the best.
Well, looks like I'm an Oklahoma State Cowboys fan now. David Taylor, congrats! American legend! You got a true great one, Stillwater! Happy for all of you
Get that man a vest!
Why?
Cuz Coach Smith always wears a vest!
Move out of the way Iowa! There’s a new sheriff 🤠 in town. You had your time and or chance’s to take on State College for battle of #1 in the NCAA’s and you failed. There’s new Sheriff in Stillwater and his name is “Magic Man” David Taylor! LET THE BATTLE FOR #1 BEGIN!
I am happy for DT. He is a good guy and he cares about people. OSU picked a good man.
After watching David Taylor wrestle and grow up since he was in middle school, he is going to carry the torch after the legend John smith.
This is unbelievable. I'm so psyched for DT. I actually may defect as a PSU fan from Western PA. I might rock Okie State... DT is that special. Come on Levi, come on Kasak. Let's see what PSU has against a real op.
I guess I root for 2 teams now
A smart move by OSU. Very smart.
Said all the right things. Zero chance he won’t be successful. Congrats David and OSU.
Well this is exciting!
The shake up NCAA wrestling needed!
Exactly!
I think everyone is tired of the PSU dominance. They keep getting most of the best high school wrestlers in the nation. Now, maybe David can lure some of those to Stillwater. Let's be honest, Cowboy recruiting has been lacking in recent years. You can't just recruit only from Oklahoma high schools anymore and expect to be dominant. Wrestling has grown to be much bigger than that. Hiring DT will definitely enhance Cowboy recruiting.
@@anthonytaylor7327 I for one, loved watching PSU wipe up the competition. ,I wasn't bored at all.
"I thought the airport was like 20 minutes away. I was pretty certain it was 20 minutes away. Four hours later I got dropped off." 😂🤣Great story.
As an ohio state fan ive always rooted for ok state and john smith. Its going to be an easy transition rooting for you guys. I really hope you guys knock off PSU in the coming years. Its going to be legendary to watch
No team will be knocking off PSU for the next 2-3 years........after that its a possibility.
@@jima5143 who said anything about 2-3 years?
So happy for the former Nittany Lion. Always want to see former Pennsylvanians succeed. Hope David has the most RUNNER-UPS here on out.
You need to make a statue of Smith winding up for his low single shot.
Fantastic idea.
Team is going to run through break walls for this guy
David was (or is it "is") my favorite wrestler. I wish him success.
This got Prime Going to Colorado Feels let’s go
Wow. Big, big day for the Cowboys!
I will be at every home match! So happy to see his acceptance of the position. I can imagine the donors will speak with their wallets!
🔥🔥
Good choice boys. Let’s go!
All those studs Taylor coached at M2 academy will be following him to Alabama when they get old enough
Coleman should go to Penn State
Now I will cheer for OS, just a little bit
David really got dressed up😂
Marty Blinkman, how are ya!
As a former NCAA wrestling champion, I feel it's necessary to bring attention to a disturbing incident that occurred during the recent match between David Taylor and Aaron Brooks at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Wrestling Trials. I watched the match and witnessed Brooks engage in an "oil check" maneuver, where he inserted his fingers into Taylor's buttocks. This move is not only disgusting but also an egregious violation of sportsmanship and ethics in wrestling.
For those unfamiliar with the mechanics of this move, it's important to understand how it affects the opponent. Similar to the technique used to break a pit bull's grip during an attack, inserting an object into the anus can cause a person to lose their power and core stability. This area of the body is incredibly sensitive, and the shock and discomfort can disrupt an athlete's concentration, balance, and physical control. It can significantly impair their ability to perform, giving the perpetrator an unfair advantage.
In wrestling, where control, balance, and mental focus are crucial, such a violation is particularly egregious. It undermines the integrity of the match and disrespects the opponent. The move can lead to a loss of physical power, much like the analogy with the pit bull, where inserting a finger into the dog's rectum often causes it to release its grip due to the sudden shock and loss of muscle control.
What makes this situation even more hypocritical is Aaron Brooks' public declarations of giving glory to God for his victory. While faith and gratitude are personal and often positive expressions, it is deeply offensive to invoke divine praise while engaging in such unethical behavior. This hypocrisy not only tarnishes Brooks' reputation but also casts a shadow over the sport and the values it is supposed to uphold.
Given these serious concerns, I believe the following actions should be taken:
1. **Immediate Investigation**: There needs to be a thorough and unbiased investigation into this incident to determine the facts and ensure accountability.
2. **Clear Rules and Penalties**: Wrestling authorities should reinforce the rules against such unsportsmanlike behaviors and establish clear penalties for violations.
3. **Education and Training**: Athletes should be educated on maintaining ethical conduct and the severe consequences of actions like the "oil check."
4. **Public Accountability**: Those who wish to express their faith publicly should be held to a high standard of conduct that reflects the values they proclaim.
The sport of wrestling values strength, skill, and honor. Incidents like this degrade the sport and the athletes who participate in it. It's essential that we address these issues to preserve the integrity and respect of wrestling. I urge the wrestling community and relevant authorities to take this matter seriously and ensure that appropriate measures are taken.
Thank you for considering these points.
John Smith he was all right as a coach but the man everybody chases is Dan Gable there's no codes in wrestling one more national championships than him 🤷
Something is Seriously Wrong with this Picture DT said just last month he was opening a new Restaurant downtown State College he also said he was adding more animals to his Farm his inlaws just moved to the state College area he has the M2 Training facility with BO Nickel just right down the road from Penn State DT has Huge ties to Penn State and the State College area DT also said he would fight MMA- UFC Jordan B $10Million and now he just picks up and leaves all that behind i dont think DT will Coach very long at OSU 🤔
Bo Nickal and Aaron Brooks both hate Taylor. Bo has hated him since at least the year DT had the knee injury and Bo went to 92kg without knowing DT wouldn't be wrestling that year. Brooks today on Baschamania podcast basically accused Taylor of leaking the adderall story.
If I was high level wrestler, I still rather have Cael recruit me.
Well I guess its lucky for him you arent then.
Okay let’s move on now. There will always be a battle for 2nd place as long as Cael’s at PSU. DT went for the money so let’s move on
The disloyalty shown by OkSt. to Coleman Scott is disgusting. The greediness of Taylor going after a job that should have been Coleman’s is also disgusting.
Typical of our times, loyalty means nothing and it’s all about money. I hope Taylor fails miserably. Boo OkSt. Badly done.
Pyles reported on FRL that he knows for a fact another person was offered the Associate Head Coach job last year that Coleman ultimately took and that the other person was told directly by OK State that the person who took the Assoc. HC job would not be guaranteed the head coaching job when Smith retired and it would be an open search for a replacement. Coleman knew this was a possibility when he took the job
“Greediness of Taylor,” what? Listen, I here you, I feel for Coleman as well but you can’t blame David Taylor for taking the opportunity of a lifetime here. DT is a much wanted commodity, OK State made their move and DT seized the opportunity, this is life. Unfortunately there are always going to be winners and losers in any competitive situation. Coleman Scott is no loser though and he will be fine. Shown himself to be a fighter and a class act. There will always be room in a program for the likes of a Coleman Scott and I believe he will not only bounce back from this but will come back even stronger. He’s got a ton of ammunition now to show OK State what a mistake they made and who knows, could even wind up coaching in the Big Twelve against these guys. Wouldn’t that be wild
Great move to gain another Champion as a Coach. Like the dynasty that came before him, he should attract the great high school recruits. I like the idea that you learn a System that perpetuates Champions.
As a die hard PSU fan, I wIsh the OSU program all the luck in the world except when wrestling PSU.....
You’re a bandwagoner
@@NEO-92 Not if you're from Pennsylvania.
100%
@@BCM16AR man fuck PA. Oklahoma all day
@@NEO-92 Don't worry DT will recruit PA kids to get that struggling program back on track. You're welcome.
