What's this?

I don't think that is a very good comparison. Iowa is a wrestling mecca

And where Dresser was raised. Iowa HC jobs don't come open much. Dresser has a fantastic career track from high school to D1 with great succcess along the way. If I were an Iowa born and bred wrestler with a chance to coach at ISU I would take it in a heart beat. I believe that KD will always be great full for the opportunity given to him in Virginia both on the HS and college level. No one gave him the best twenty years of their lives. He earned it and he built an amazing wrestling community in the commonwealth. If he wants to go to Iowa for a chance to re-build one of the major Iowa programs no one really can blame him. This isn't a trophy wife situation.

So do you think the timing of Coach Dresser's departure to accommodate -- hokiepokie 02/20/2017 8:04PM

The rarity of an open iowa job was their trump card and they used that -- Jerseyhokie29 02/20/2017 8:13PM
