An AD will never be fired for hiring poor gymnastics or golf coaches. They usually are shown the door if they whiff on over half of the HC hires for the major sports in the AD.
You can't have it both ways. You have brought up wrestling and baseball when defending Barta but say that we can only talk about major sports when talking about Pollard - but then in the same breath bring up wrestling again. I love the state of Iowa's history with wrestling as much as anyone, but it isn't a major sport. And baseball is even further away from a major sport in college athletics.

And has kept the football program and wrestling programs operating at a standard higher than when he took the job. Also, Iowa has a baseball program and Heller was an oustanding hire.
Is the football and wrestling program at a higher standard now?
Raisinface era>Kilmer era
Gable>Brands bros.
Heller is a great hire no doubt.
Basketball hires blow.

Whar womens field hockey?

Why are you comparing Gable to Brands? There was a coach between the two. Gable retired back in 1997.

That's it? Out of that whole list that's all you can respond to? So why are you even talking about wrestling if Barta hasn't done anything with it? Have the Brands won more National Titles than Zalesky?

You are one selective responder.

What about women's field hockey? Howd that go?

Yeahbuddy, before your head explodes due to the accolades you are pouring onto your illustrious AD. Lest you forget about this. The guy has some serious issues.

This is the best part:

Meyer’s trial lasted 14 days, four of which were devoted to testimony by Barta. Prominent Iowa coaches, including Kirk Ferentz (football), Tom Brands (wrestling), Lisa Bluder (women’s basketball) and Rick Heller (baseball) were also called to the stand. An eight-person jury was unanimous in finding for Meyer on all five of her claims.

Even his apostles couldn't save him. Jury was unanimous!! You just keep on being a derp!!

Apparently they planned for two days but it took two more to try to understand the ramblings of Tom brands.
