Obviously Terry S. is at the top of the list. But he may not want to leave his current role. What other coaches would be a good fit? Huge opportunity to get some current world class athletes as assistants as well.
Women's Team Coaching Candidates

I’d be surprised if it’s not a women.
good question for Terry Stiener 🤔 I guess yes
Current USA coaches : Jessica Medina or Clarissa Chun maybe.
One of the many womens who are already college head coaches.
Current outstanding women wrestlers as either coaches or assistant coaches: Helen Maroulis, Adeline Gray
and many many more. While there are qualified men to take these positions, like Stiener or Perry, I would think a female coach is the right direction to go it. If you want to promote womens wrestling, you should also be promoting women as wrestling coaches.
It's great to be first. LFG Hawks!

I have a feeling some coaches who haven't done a ton with woman's wrestling may want this job.
I think it will be very high in demand because of name brand, being first, a head start on recruiting, and new facilities designed with women also in mind. The successful start is not just on Iowa but the wrestling community at large to show it can be done. Ironically, all should be rooting for Iowa to succeed.
I do think it needs to be a woman. There are qualified coaches out there.

Why not just hire the best coach, regardless of gender or race?
They could, but if you are trying to offer more opportunity for women, in the form of wrestling, why not offer more opportunity for women in the form of coaching.
Because it’s the first women’s team…the flagship. If it were just mere symbolism, I would agree with you. But we have some solid women coaches/wrestlers that are near the end of their career. While there may be more experienced male college coaches (recruiting, fundraising etc), we have some good mentors on the men’s side that can help if needed.
I get it, it's just the contrarian in me coming out maybe. I generally dislike anything having a mandate that the person hired has to be of a certain race, religion, or gender. Kind of defeats the American spirit IMO.
But I certainly can get the view point you are coming from.
If it’s not Terry S then I would think Perry would be in the conversation. I would think they would talk to Clarissa Chun as an assistant/ associate head coach possibly Adeline. Helen, TMS and or Sarah Hildabrant as Volunteer assistance while they are training at the HWC and still competing
Clarissa Chun would actually be a great coach, b/c she is already a great coach, as she is the assistant National Team Coach and is highly respected and liked. I think a coach with existing coaching experience is very important, b/c there will be some growing pains starting a program from the ground up. Having a first time coach may cause too many simultaneous growing pains. Obviously Mark Perry, but he was just here and who knows if he wants to stay in Tempe or not... or would he want to come back to I.C. to be head coach? Same goes for Steiner. Would he want to leave CO Springs, or will his tenure there be up soon?
Tom said that the women's program would be their own. He will help get set up in the beginning, but after that they are their own program.
I'm a super outsider, but it seems like there probably hasn't been enough water under the bridge for Perry to be back in Iowa City, right? Or was the breakup overblown by media (specifically ones that have names like small fish)
Well since we already have the best of the best for the men’s team why don’t we just get the best of the rest and hire Carl!
Because I would like to be able to root for the women’s team.
I don't see why not. Different set of circumstances, etc. Don't know what the Money will be like either. All of that will come into play for whomever they hire.
Because this is more about Bata keeping his job and the optics involved.
No high crotch moves allowed. Not sure about other rules.
I am all for a woman head coach, but she should be a graduate of Iowa wrestling. One who has been trained in the Iowa style of wrestling. This would obviously be a down the road candidate. The first Iowa women's wrestling coach should be a descendant of the Gable era, a male. but only until we can produce a great female coach from our very own team.
Salary will play a part. What will the Head Women’s coach make?
$75k to 100k?
Other Iowa Women’s Sports (most started around 100k)
Field Hockey $225k
Golf $95k
Gymnastics $158k
Rowing $127k
Softball $163k
Tennis $105k

I’m sorry. But the American dream was built largely by the efforts of unpaid slaves and mistreated workers from Asia.
The American spirit you speak of was tailored for/by wealthy white men.
Inclusion (and prosperity) of all should be the norm, but that’s not really the focus of many rugged “individualists” around these parts.
a litttle off topic but if we are going there……you must mean like the wealthy Silicon valley tech individuals who are censoring others beliefs and funding the liberal left.
Lol The liberal left that’s further right than any country in Europe.
PS: That’s what happens when lying/manipulating folk try to present their fantastical beliefs and machinations as gospel truth.
1- TMS
T2- Helen and Adeline
4- Terry Steiner
5- Mark Perry
I think Terry is the best coach at the moment but there is not a single wrestler that would not sign for TMS and Iowa right now and many years to come.

what the ever lovin f does that have to do with hiring the best wrestling coach?
what a whiner.
This isn’t the place for this, however…..what do countries in Europe have to do with the liberals in this country?
You must be watching too much CNN and MSNBC to not be aware of the censorship that is happening in this country…or you are just delusional.
Well, since others have discussed whether gender or race are relevant in the discussion, not to mention Title 9 debates in other related threads, I would say it was 83% more relevant than your post.
Maybe offer your coach or coach selection process recommendations to enlighten the thread.
Is having a Masters degree going to be a requirement? This could eliminate a lot of the mentioned options. I know nothing, just throwing that possibility out there.
