Martini 3 Report post Posted October 6 I heard Mike Zadick was fired at ISU for a fight with a coach. Has anyone heard if this is true? Also he has always been a loose cannon and I think he is a poor choice to be a coach. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

uncle bernard 56 Report post Posted October 6 Zadick is a good coach that struggles to maintain long term personal relationships (at least in coaching). I don't think coaching at u23s is a big deal. If he was chosen for a more long term and prominent position then questions would need to be asked. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IronChef 566 Report post Posted October 6 Cant really speak to any of this, but getting fired by ISU seems to be a good path to getting hired by USA Wrestling these days. 3 Billyhoyle, GranbyTroll and MikePorcelli reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Martini 3 Report post Posted October 7 I believe Zadick was also suspended from Iowa wrestling for fighting while shaking hands with Minn wrestlers. Who does that? 2 fights are 2 too many. Also how he handled the Kanen Storr issue showed poor judgement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wrestlingnerd 2,356 Report post Posted October 7 Why Zadick left Iowa State is all speculation, at least on here. Zadick’s results as a coach are not. He is good. If what he did was so bad, given how public the speculation has been, I doubt he would’ve passed the background and reference checks that occur as a matter of course in these hiring decisions. Therefore, good hire, in my opinion. 1 Alwayswrestling reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scramble 140 Report post Posted October 7 I've only met him once and he seemed like a friendly guy. It was just a short chat though when I bumped into him at a laundry mat in Soldotna Alaska after salmon fishing. Of all the places. 1 airmail reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lurker 681 Report post Posted October 7 Sounds like this was started by someone who has an issue with Zaddick. " I hear....I hear....I hear" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TripNSweep 347 Report post Posted October 7 Zaddick is a guy I could see rubbing people the wrong way. But at the same time you know he's a driven competitor who when he wrestled was as mean as they come. Watching the ESPN thing that gives you some idea as to why he was that way. 1 airmail reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Martini 3 Report post Posted October 8 Yes I am not 1000% sure Zadick actually started a fight with another ISU coach, but I dare you to ask Dresser. I have heard it from more than one source it happened. The fight with Minn wrestlers after a dual I believe is correct. Please prove me wrong before you say Zadick is a good choice.

That is not how things work. Nor should it work that way. If you want to slam a person’s character and accuse him in a public way, you need the proof. We don’t need to prove your guesses and ‘beliefs’ are wrong. I’ve heard you’ve had ‘relations’ with some heinous acting (and looking!) people. Folks should believe me unless you can prove me wrong. And it needs to be super solid proof. None of this ‘I did not’ crap. See what I mean? 1 Alwayswrestling reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Proof of the pudding is in the eating. I predict Zadick will not pull a Mongolia, we wont see any fundamental technique errors directly caused by his coaching, he wont make a gigantic mat side error AND he wont shewt a single varmint while repping the red white and blue.
