He used to party at my house quite a bit! I’m no one to judge…
Assistant Coaches
- Thread starter Chasingthirty-five
- Start date
Yeah. WTF is that supposed to mean?
Snyder, very interesting. I have heard this but it would not surprise me
Did @Shootwrestling put out a hit on Coleman and the old coaching staff?
We need to keep at least two (or more) Cowboys on the staff. I will not be very happy if they clean house.
Prepare to not be very happy then lol
I 100% agree, even though I’m sure that’s not going to happen
Shouldn’t any coach or boss pick their own people?
I’m telling you now. Culture change in Cowboy wrestling. Don't expect to see a lot of familiarity. Not everything is public knowledge and it won’t all be. Some will over time. Just know as Cowboy fans, this is what’s best for us.
I know many don’t like to hear this stuff but flushing the wound is probably the best analogy. A lot of great people involved and that sucks but the culture is about to become very morman lol
Like multiple wives? Swingers?
lol like no drinking or swearing or wearing short shorts or girls or anything else lol. Its wrestling 24/7 with short intermissions of class and dodgeball
Ever wondered why Espo just left for a job that wasn’t really a step up but then takes his talent to NC st to take same job he had with us?
I was under the impression he was more or less asked/told to move on to make room for Coleman
The same impression that made us think Coleman really just up and left his HC job to have a SMALL chance to MAYBE get the job at Ok St……
I don’t want anybody from Penn State coming in and asking young men to fast from girls…just saying?
I also don’t want dudes wearing short shorts, that are avoiding women…also, just saying.
Less experience with better handling of the program.
The focus will and should be on winning championships and developing athletes to compete on the world stage.
One elite training center on the east coast and one in the center of the country.

As long as when we get to Nationals, we have more wrestlers in the Finals and we focus on winning matches with Bonus points instead of 3-2 victories, I’ll be ECSTATIC!! Somehow, I get the feeling I’m gonna be ECSTATIC!! And that makes me ECSTATIC about this hire!!! I’m done calling CW the “P” word as an AD! Dude is trying his damndest to make us the best we can be in all Sports and what more can you ask of the man? You all have me PUMPED about this hire!!! Go Pokes!!! Ready for this Team to be “Taylor Made”, to steal a line from another sport…
S-Dub, I don’t know who you are but in a non gay way, I’m diggin what your throwin down! I was there in college in the 90’s during Pat’s run, Psycho Alan Fried, Hardell, Guerrero, Branch, Lewis… tons of Bad asses. They kicked *** and I look forward to getting back to us being at the Top of the Mountain with Penn St. I believe we will blow past Iowa, at some point, which all long time fans of OSU wrestling, that will mean as much as anything! Keep the updates coming! They’ve been AWESOME!!! Thanks again!! You and several others are doing great with these updates / intell!
We’re two peas in a pod brother. He hasn’t called me either. Same amount of points scored on me as he has you.
He’s just bitter like that, I guess.
So some of you may remember me coming on here last Friday night or early Saturday giving early congrats on DT due to a post from an insider on the PSU forum. After that, other insiders like Mineo said no way. Well it seems like there was some sort of agreement last Friday but DT got cold feet about something it seems on Sunday. Slowly the process has leaked and that original insider was correct to a degree. He knew something and has some level of access to info. Anyway, all that to say that this same insider had some info he posted last night. Take it as a starting point in any discussion.
"dake will be in OK state at the tune of a mid 6 figure salary. After the Olympics Dake is going"
"Brand new facility coming to OK state 18 million dollars in the works"
"Dude from Paycom put up 10million dollar endowment for RTC"
"Jimmy Kennedy will be Assistant head coach, Dake will be the assistant and 1 more still not named (Molinaro most likely)."
"Gilman is HC of the RTC"
"1.5 mil split to the assistants. David over 7 figures"

A lot to unpack in that post, and take all of it with some grain of salt, but that particular poster has been known to know things.. In all that, the crazy thing is the RTC's $10M endowment figure. That's huge. Last I checked, the NLWC had like $10.7M in their fund. That said, your RTC will need to start a donor program to keep it up. As I recall, people donate to the NLWC to the tune of >2.5M annually but expenses are equal to that. So a great starting point if true, and I'm happy for wrestling that another post collegiate avenue is available for guys. I have been on this forum for several years asking about when you were going to jump into the RTC business with both feet. I guess I have my answer.

Thanks for the info. Heard anything about Fix sticking around?
So maybe Kennedy is lightweight coach with Dake as upperweight coach. I've also heard Eric Thompson's name. If you have Kennedy and Dake in the room, do you really need Molinaro? Someone needs to be Director of Operations. I saw that Mark Hall just interviewed for that very position at Oklahoma.
What I like about these names if true is that they aren't from one school. PSU, Illinois, Cornell, and Iowa. That's a very nice cross section of experience with different styles of coaching and technique.

I'm not DT but I absolutely believe Daton is staying.
That was my drum beating as well. It got very frustrating
My mind has been exploding over and over again
Thanks but not my work. It comes across as believable and jives with other info leaking out. For example, some may ask why Dake is just an assistant. Another guy who knows Dake said he just wants to coach. He wants zero responsibility with administration. He just wants to teach. So that makes sense to me. You can't beat Dake's work ethic and mental side and defensive skill set.
