This ball park was stated to be a game changer for the program. Seems the same or less results are happening then from Allie P.

Unbelievable, year after freaking year

First

Great coach from great baseball family , great to have someone who loves OSU!

I love this team and this coach. This team can play with anybody. Go Cowgirls!

That proposal was Wonderful: I lived At Boomer Creek a Few years ago: Now im in a nursing home

Team looked great today! Lexi is Superwoman..

Mission one accomplished. On to the Sweet 16, Super Regional. Congrats TEAM1

You all showed tremendous grit today. So proud of this team! Go Pokes!

Way to go Cowgirls!

Great game Cowgirls! You all were on fire today!

Congrats girls! Keep rolling!

What a fun team and a great season. You have worked so hard. Let's go get that natty!

I’m sure it’s because of Chris and Coleman. Chris has been in that room since he was a little kid through College and as a Coach. To be out after 30+ years has to be tough for him to watch. I only wish Coleman would have stayed at NC and only agreed to come over if there was a contract in place guaranteeing him the Head Coaching position at OSU. That’s a hard lesson he’s going to learn. Hopefully both guys land great jobs. Also it would be nice if OSU paid them their salaries for next year giving them time to get something.

Thank you Coach !!

And Thurman Thomas. Man I’m a biggest fan of Oklahoma State football every since Mike ,Thurman and Barry. Mike, this is the year and please let Gordon joined the Boys of Fame. Nevertheless the whole team all American and let’s make this happen. Wide receivers, perfect, defensive needs work but is very workable. Go pokes

OSU been the standard for USA wrestling for over 100 years! This is the first Olympics since 1924 that doesn't have a Cowboy on the team. Chew on that for a minute.... Yeah, the entire wrestling world was watching who the new coach would be

All class!

Seems like a good dude, boss.

This is such a great display of the kind of man Coach Smith is. Clearly not happy with the decision and feels for his guys but keeps it classy and positive. Easy to read between the lines tho.

I can easily say that I really respect Coach Smith. He had quite the run.

I think DT has great intentions and has a lot of talent. However, if he is looking to compete againt Cael and PS. … It will be a long uphill battle. I think he will be able to develop a team that crushes Iowa and takes 2nd consistently

Nothing but class.

Great coach, great man.

Thanks coach Smith 🤘🏽🙏🏽🤗

I grew up in the 60’s and watched a lot of great wrestlers, and I’m a big Dan Gable fan. But I always thought John Smith was the GOAT! He’s been good for the sport of wrestling!

Coach Smith gets it. He’s getting out of the way and letting Coach Taylor do his thing.

John’s retired and so his next “roll” is like he said is to be a fan. He’s earned this retirement. He’s the greatest American wrestler and a legendary Coach.

It’s hard to welcome in a stranger to take control of something you’ve been a charge of for 40 years.

Class Act Athletic Department and commitment to excellence in the sport of wrestling.

The 🐐

Did Smith still spar with Dietinger and Fix?

John Smith is just a quality human being.

Hope coach stays visible around the sport in some capacity. Will be weird having someone in charge around here who isn't home-grown.

John Smith is a legend. Let’s just get that out of the way, coach/wrestler. You can tell he wants nothing less than the best for OSU. His, eyes/ body language and disposition tell a story that cannot be denied. He is not behind the decision to bring in David Taylor as his successor. Before you come after me, prove me wrong.

His age is perfect for this job

Sounds just like Cael. Good luck.

Looking so forward to this newest chapter in the great Cowboy tradition!

Coach Smith is a very likeable fella. I look forward to seeing him watching duals in the VIP fan section

John American legend on the Mat off the Mat!! Just watch out for those copperhead snakes on his farm. Geeeese!!!

Loved John since I first watched him wrestle in the '80's. Great guy, better wrestler and coach. All class.

I need that hat

Out with this outdated/ sorry ass coach. And in with a new breed coach

Smith went out like a boss. Pure class. It occurs to me that this whole thing with DT to OK State is going to impact Iowa way more than it does PSU. Can you imagine the pressure that Brands will be under if OK State finishes ahead of Iowa this coming season or next?

Pure class

I just gained a new level of respect for John Smith.

Wild. I’m a middle aged man and John Smith has been a wrestling fixture my whole life as a wrestler. Class act and legend.

That is a Solid dude!!!!

Thank you for your dedication Mike Gundy

Took a chance with a pitcher that’s struggled all yr. Kind of scary she will be the ace next yr.
