Brent Metcalf and Mike Zadick joining coaching Staff

[HGoat]

Via flowrestling Metcalf and Zadick are on board. That gives us a staff of Dresser, Zadick, St.John and Metcalf. All former Hawkeyes. I'll admit I'm a bit conflicted about it but I do believe they will get this turned around.

Dan Gable is a former Cyclone. Tit for tat.

Unless you believe they're here to complete the sabotage of the program.

Wasn't Metcalf the guy that shoved a dude over after losing to him in the NCAAs?

Guess its time to give him a second chance.

Yes, that's him.

Still like the hires. Time to get to work.

I know it, I pointed that out when Dresser was hired. As I stated in the original post, I do believe they will get this thing turned around.

Happy to have good coaches who will help us build our wrestling program.

IMO, it does not make one bit of difference they are former Hawkeyes. Dan McCarney was a former Hawkeye. Big deal.

 

[Cyk Aboody]

A huge step in the right direction!!! A lot of Hawkeye fans already starting to cry!

In short, yes.

Forward to 10:50.

I mentioned it in another thread, but Metcalf really mellowed out on the international scene.

In college he was hyper-intense(good trait for a wrestler to have) and his interviews sounded like a brainwashed maniac.

In recent years he has mellowed out, opened up and became quite likable.

Great hires! Look forward to this staff turning around the program!

Gilmans interviews were like that this year. Then again, Brands does quite a bit of that style also.

I'm putting complete trust in Dresser. The job that he does in resurrecting the ISU program will ultimately determine his legacy in the world of college wrestling. He knows it and there's no way he's putting his Hawkeye roots ahead of that. If these are the guys he wants then more power to him. We gave the "keeping it in the Cyclone family" thing a try and it ended with us scoring one point at the NCAA tournament. While part of me would like to have some Cyclone ties on the staff, I'd much rather return to national prominence.

Give 'em hell boys.

Metcalf is one of the biggest stars of the sport over the last 10 years. Huge get.


Someone please post the website/instructions for season tickets. Thanks

Can't help but think that after KD watched our three at nationals he realized that the culture at ISU had to completely change. I'm excited about these assistants. GO CYCLONES !

 

[Gerbs]

I absolutely love the hires. Secretly, I always loved the way the Hawkeyes got after it on the mat. Hopefully Dresser and staff will bring out the same intensity.

 

[crooksie_26]

Yep, I love the hires! About time we return the favor for Gable. Our recruiting should take off, i expect a top 5 recruiting class possibly even next year especially depending on who we get for athletes at the RTC. We should have a ton of scholly $$ available next year assuming we don't get anyone new this year.

 

[crooksie_26]

We also got a new commitment from Jacob Krakow, a dude from Iowa Valley. I'm guessing he won state or placed, also guessing he isn't getting too much $$.

 

[Clone83]

Kudos and welcome aboard, all!

I trust Coach Dresser on this.

They are a bit heavier than some current ISU guys and guys who ISU would like to have come who have expressed interest in international competition, but also address a need there.

Hoping we see more intensity and aggressiveness!!!
