Bo Nickal

This is not a minor thing.

I think I have a pretty good indication that Tom was told to make a change and this wasn't just BT deciding he didn't want to coach anymore. He was only making $50K so that's part of it no doubt, but you don't just replace a Bobby Telford with a guy like Nickal out of nowhere.

If I had to crystal ball this thing, my bet would be Tom and Terry retiring after the next Olympic cycle and Iowa throwing a cargo freighter of money at Kyle Dake. They aren't getting fired. They will be 60 years old after the next Olympics are done.

I'm aware of the Telford exit, but where does Nickal come into the equation? I haven't read or heard anything.
 
Wow. Hadn't seen that.

So, is he abandoning his MMA career?

I will say this, Nickal has some pretty funky and effective moves and was dominant as hell. The question is whether or not he can pass those skills along.

In any sport, great players don't necessarily translate to great teachers.

Not sure what his plans are, I know he has a fight scheduled this month
