Coaching Moves

[IAChief32]

We interrupt this regularly scheduled discussion of politics and religion to bring you news of coaching changes: Espo leaves OSU and will be the Head of Development at USA wrestling. Coleman Scott has "stepped away" from UNC but it seems he will head to OSU to be the head coach in waiting; lookw like the upcoming season will be the last for John.

Ramos is the interim head coach at UNC while they conduct the search.

Good move for Coleman.

Keeps everything status quo for Okiest. (Pat Pop would fire everyone not named Tyler Caldwell)

 

[LaxHawk174]

Sounds like Koll and Kolat are also interested in the UNC job. Koll's Alma Mater.

not only alma mater, but gets him out of the s**t show that is Stanford.

That too, the conference re-alignment kind of has them in limbo at the moment.

hate to say it, but i honestly think it will be tough for Stanford and Oregon State to survive this.

Would make sense to be like Utah Valley and Cal Baptist and just be "wrestling only" in Big12.

Am I to take it from this thread that Brody Grothus is not interested in the UNC job?

[johnyt9]

bring Ramos home!

 

[IAChief32]

bring Ramos home!

I think there will be a big push by the current UNC wrestlers to keep Ramos as head coach.

 

[YoungGun07]

bring Ramos home!

Eh, I think I'm good. I'm not convinced he would move the needle with recruits, and a 3rd lightweight coach* doesn't make a ton of sense to me.

*Unless his name is Spencer Lee

UNC job will be much more appealing in 8-10 years when they join the Big (24) 10

No way - never enough light weight coaches around here!! Why even have any upper to middle weight coaches?

And Kolat takes Mike Evans along. Evans is becoming a very good coach.

I'm not impressed.

 

[grapplefann]

I'm not impressed.

I always liked Mike Evans, and it's nice to have former Hawkeyes in coaching jobs.

I think the joke went over your head.

Mine too?

Explain the joke then...

Mixing up two Gables?

Not sure what that means or how it ties into the Kolat/Evans joke. I'm assuming "not impressed" was the joke??
Whatever I guess.

 

[12tdsaw]

that was evans response to a question, i can't remember what the question was

Doh! Yeah… I might have been mixing up the comments. Lol Still don’t get it.

I think it was a post by @slushhead. It was a satire piece about Mike Evans' mustache not being impressed with Gilman. It is probably nearly a decade old now. I don't see the actual post when I search the forum, but I do see a few Mike Evans' mustache is not impressed references.

I wonder if I originally read it on the old mat forums that came down last year. Anyway, I did find a copy of it on the PSU 247 site.

When told that Kyle Dake was moving up to 165, Evans weight at the time, and therefore having to go through both David Taylor and Kyle Dake, Mike said:

“I saw a lot of typical college matches, 1-point wins, nobody expanding the gap,” Evans said. “I’m not impressed.”

He also said this phrase a few other times, but I believe this was the first, and most ridiculous.

Notebook: Grapplers embrace lineup changes

The Iowa wrestling team only graduated one starting senior, but the lineup will still look drastically different this season. Two upperweight wrestlers, Grant Gambrall and Ethen Lofthouse, have swapped positions from where they finished in spring of 2012. Gambrall will move down to 174 and...

Doesn't surprise me Mike made that comment.
I would take Mike on the Iowa coaching staff anytime.

 

[vhsalum]

oh. Koll to UNC.

Ah, Mike the ol’ devil.

Ridiculous indeed. To me, Dake going up to 165 to wrestle Taylor for all the marbles was about the ballsiest move I've ever seen in college wrestling. It doesn't get much more impressive than that! And thankfully for all of us fans it turned out being one of those matches for the ages. Two American beasts!!

Not a coaching move, but I didn’t want to start a new thread. Another Minny wrestler in the portal:

Not surprising. Good hire. Wonder if Ramos stays or if Koll brings in a new staff.
