Cory Cooperman

[Tofurky 501]

It's been reported on another site that he left the Illini for a paying gig. Does anyone know where he landed? Clarion with his old teammate, Troy Letters?

I was just chatting to a buddy that it would be great if he came back to Ithaca. He is a fantastic mat coach. The Cornell crew wasn't quite the same after he left.

Is his new name going to be Cory Hensen?

Cory Kolat might be closer.

[highlight=#ebeadd]I was waiting to hear more definitively but I picked "Cory Kolat" for more than just name similarity. I won't go into too many details (I don't know many is the main reason) but it is a private job in the business sector which in part also involves club-type coaching in Maryland. This is what Cary was doing for the last few years before he moved to NC.[/highlight]

I think this type situation is made to order for Coop (even though he has shown himself to be able to coach successfully at any level)

sounds like lip service to me. The guy can't hold a job.

To me, the evidence that Cooperman is a great coach seems mostly anecdotal.

[scribe 1,654]

What he did for Jordan Leen was good enough for me.

[Guest Hammerlock3]

unless he dyed his hair red and beat mike poeta your post makes little sense.

Hammerlock 3 you never have anything nice on any forum to say on Coop. He was a 4 time national champ for Blair ,3time AA for Lehigh, Helped Cornell,Rutgers and Illinois to better their standings as teams and if you ask Jordon Leen who helped him to become a national champ I guarantee you it will be Cooperman :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: LMAO on you!

Cooperman was a GREAT wrestler and now a GREAT coach. He seems to be a flight risk, wherever he's at though.

Not trying to disrespect, just playing! Where is he going?

Asked and answered. Read above.

Any specifics? "Business and wrestling?" Is he selling insurance and coaching the peewees? Or is he running a private club ala "The Edge?"

Is this something like when Teague Moore was Max Meltzer's personal coach for a year? Techinically worked for Alan Meltzer's Insurance company?

[Rameses 0]

He won't be Peter Galli's personal coach ala Meltzer/Teague as Peter will be a freshman at Stanford next year. Joe Galli employs a lot of wrestlers at Milwaukee Tools and the youth/ club scene is exploding in Maryland.

the new Pat Smith

[bob_meadows_167 0]

So he has a 9-5 with some flexibility for youth coaching? Sounds good to me. I think the college asst. gig must be a grind!

I think this fact goes without enough appreciation on these forums. They are the mat coaches, day to day coaches, responsible for the wrestlers on campus and in the classroom, responsible for the wrestler's weight and habit towards that, and probably do a significant amount of recruiting as well.

 

Beyond a full time job by a long shot.

I understand, but for peanuts something must give at a certain point.
