15 years ago Jerry was Mike Smith. College team dominating, pros making all of the US teams. Nico = Jager. Nur and Luis = Tegankamp and Simon B. Bosley is Solinski based off of Wisconsin-ness.
Now if Smith left and went to Nike and dominated North American running for a decade or so they would be even more alike!!!
But I agree right now Smith is the best coach around. Having pro men and women, leading both squads to the top of the NCAA is really really impressive
