It's about time. This is a prime example of a good wrestler that made for a horrible coach. There was plenty of talent that failed to develop in that room under his watch. Furthermore, the team's APR got so poor that they couldn't even compete in the postseason last year.. There has to be a talented somebody down in Colorado Springs there thats looking to transition to coaching?

I was really hoping when I opened this it would have been one of the two big ten bottom feeders

In all fairness ... When coach got there, the APR got trashed as several kids quit, and some got released.

 

The team was a mess when he got there. As a result the APR tanked and they were put on probation. I know this as a friend of one of the kids who did stick it out all 4 years, and got his degree as well. He was devastated with the sanctions, yet hung on and finished.

 

Just a little back-ground. We watched closely as they were another opportunity for Washington kids to go to school and wrestle. Vombaur was there as well, as an assistant. He also was part of the "clean-up" effort when they got there.

 

Hopefully, they can land a new "young" hungry coach to get that team back on track. There are plenty of guys from the Left Coast, that could certainly help that team out. I'd bet there are at least 1/2 a dozen guys on the left coast that never wrestle in college due to a lack of opportunity. (guys, that could make an impact)
