They love the Brands bros. What they hate is that the Brands bros haven't

and won't change their style of coaching. They aren't great developers and their schtick has gotten old and tiresome. Iowa wrestling no longer wins by simply outworking opponents. And if we can see that, certainly Iowa fans can see that, and absolutely Brands should see that. However he and his staff have done nothing at all to "modernize" their style and the program itself. The gap between Iowa and PSU (and soon to be OkSU) is widening significantly.
