Div I Program in Texas
- Thread starter AFHawk86
- Start date
Spent many years in south Texas and wherever you traveled in Texas you could always find a bunch of good athletes; (be it the gulf coast, the valley/border area, the piney-woods east Texas, the hill country central Texas, or the panhandle north Texas). Obviously most/many Texas high school athletes will select and play more conventional sports (i.e. football, baseball, softball, basketball, volleyball). In spite of this wrestling absolutely has a foothold in many communities and certainly has sufficient interest for growth.
Interscholastic and intercollegiate wrestling in the state of Texas really does need more coaching, more clinics, more competition, more instruction, and more support.
Good to see this happening in the Lone Star State.

From the article:
*We currently have 420 high school wrestling programs in Texas, with new school districts coming annually. Texas has over 3,200 high schools, giving us a potential 800% growth rate.

Hiring Slay as a head coach would be almost as bad of a choice as Morgan State hiring Kenny Monday
I disagree. We may differ on how good of a technical coach he would be, but you need a name around which you can draw investors and recruits. I think he has such a name in the state of Tx. Just my $.02
It’s not his technique that I have an issue with. It’s him. He could get it going and get money into the program but he could never run it effectively
He has a horrible personality for a head coach. Extremely arrogant and only connects with certain athletes. Does no fundraising for PRTC, that’d all Reina. He’s just not a D1 head coach. Plus it’d be a significant pay decrease. He’s making really good money right now and this program won’t be paying like that. There are better candidates
Wow, I've agreed with you multiple times today lol
I haven't seen or heard from him in many years now. He use to run a kid's club in Texas and related very well back then with everybody. He only left a positive feeling with me.
