I think it would be unlikely that we would keep both.


If Robie is HC, then Zadick could be promoted to Associate, but I would imagine that Zadick would be high on Dresser's list for Associate. Remember he will still have to fill out his staff.

I don't think we would skip over Robie to make Zadick the HC, but let's say that we did. I would think we would have a hard time keeping Robie on staff. How would you feel if you were passed over for promotion by someone that has only been with the team for not even 2 years, and was a subordinate?

Not too mention that Robie was very close to leaving last year (Rumored to go to Oklahoma). He is well thought of in the wrestling community, and would be a hot commodity if not our HC. He is a PA guy and the Pitt job is open right now.

I would imagine we are due for a lot of shake up in the coaching staff. I only hope that we are able to retain not only our current team, but also our recruits. There are generally deep relationships between wrestlers and coaches, as they spend a lot of one-on-one time on the mat.

I suspect that we will unfortunately have some attrition with a few of the wrestlers. Hopefully only 1 or 2, that may not seem like much but in the wrestling world that can really hurt. Remember there are only so many scholarships available, so there really isn't a two deep. In wrestling overlaying your wrestling classes is very very important.

I hope we won't lose wrestlers, but I am preparing myself. At least it won't be as bad as last time.
