Mat Rat 3 Report post Posted April 17, 2018 Regarding SDSU staff. You have to think with himself and Caldwell being upper weight guys he would be looking for a young lower weight guy. Also supporting Gross is very important to the program. Given all that how about Jason Ness or Troy Nickerson? I know Troy is a head coach but him and Damion were very close. I had also mentioned bringing A.J. Schoop back but have no idea if that could work? They could all help Gross. As good as Kyle and Gabe Dean are I doubt if they leave the Cornell fold now. Also Cam Simaz would be great but with Kyle now at 79kg these are all big guys. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Things haven't gone as expected with him at Northern CO and they have had little to zero success since he's been there (not all his fault though). I wouldn't be surprised if he's looking to get out of there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grappler6 135 Report post Posted April 17, 2018 Retaining Caldwell just feels like a placeholder til they can bring Gross on staff next year. At least that being their hope. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They all are great places to earn degrees and meet friends and spouses and prepare for all the other aspects of life. There are only 10 or so schools who will ever win the team trophy. My alma mater Iowa state with all its tradition has an outside chance just to put things in perspective Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My alma mater Iowa state with all its tradition has an outside chance just to put things in perspective I was referring to Northern Colorado's 3-10 dual record (1-6 at home) and the inability to put butts in the seats for home duals. The arena is basically empty when they wrestle, and I read an article a while back that all of Northern Colorado's sports teams have a problem with getting fans to attend. I think he was probably expecting that things would be going a bit better than this after 4-5 years on the job.
