I've always had a ton of respect for Tom and Terry. I think both care tremendously about what they do and are completely genuine - what you see is what you get. They're not interested one iota in what people outside of the wrestling room think. There's an impervious shell of pride and integrity there.
That said, I've been saying and posting for the past 6-7 years that I honestly think their old-school approach to coaching wrestling is wearing thinner and thinner, and resulting in burnt out student-athletes and increasingly diminishing returns.
Where I struggle, is that I have absolutely no ideas on how the administration (and, more importantly, the boosters) could fix it. A coaching change would likely grease the skids on the downward spiral. Suddenly having much more NIL funds no doubt would help, but the deleterious impact of the coaching style would still be present.
At the end of the day, barring some major program implosion, PSU will remain untouchable for at least the next 5-10 years anyway. It's all going to be a battle for second.
