Just been reminiscing a bit about the Gable Era, I know a few years back he had been named as an assistant coach. I'm a huge Brands fan, and I think that it's a tough dynamic for a head coach (especially one of Gable's caliber) to come back and serve as an assistant under one of his former wrestlers.
Just curious if anyone knows about Gable's whereabouts? Is he still around the program? Is he helping out in any way?
I think it's tough for Gable to be away from the sport. I remember reading an article one time about when the Hawkeyes were struggling at the NCAA's and Gable's daughter burst into the hotel room and yelled "Dad you gotta come back!!!" Gable said something to the effect of "do you wanna kill me, that's why I left in the first place!!!"
Can't get enough Gable stories, if anyone has any insights I would appreciate it.
