The man has integrity. He definitely left because of the and NIL money we've been giving out a well as the rest of the ***** *** colleges that pander these little punks/ punkettes and their participation trophy parents.
First question recruits ask now is how much are you offering and recruiting is basically a bidding process now.

Well what do you think then? Do you think he got booted to make room for AA? I would think that's would be foolish considering his connection, recruiting abilities and pipeline through the lehigh valley.

Imo I dont think he got booted they just didn't renew his contract for them to bring in AA, It may be foolish with his pa connections but the program has done foolish stuff before so doesnt suprise me.

Mytych was very active in the PA youth scene before jumping to RU. His kid(s) are or will be approaching HS. Wonder if he ends up coaching at private school powerhouse like FCA.

I am happy. Anthony adds credibility and talent to a staff currently comprised of a high school gym teacher and youth club coach.
Im suprised AA is coming back thought he may have left on bad terms with SG guessing he was sold on possibly being the next HC and that's why he is returning

Now get rid of Pollard and get a real assistant with credentials for that spot.
I'm indifferent to Pollard. I think he brings a lot to the plate with
Everyone was saying bring back Anthony Ashnault to coach so now we do it and no one is happy?
Bill, nobody's not happy.We just don't know what the story was with Mytch. My only concerns is keeping mikey labs. Me personally, I think Mikey labs has a better disposition and temperament as the head coach. I don't know what Anthony's coaching abilities are as I haven't followed him since he graduated.But what I saw from mikey labs has head coach written all over it. Just my opinion

Bill: I have not seen anyone express unhappiness about Ashnault returning, but it isn't a cure-all. It's a start. There still needs to be a big-name head coach and all assistants at the Ash and Labs levels. The head coach should have outstanding credentials, but that alone does not guarantee success. The HC needs to be able to run a program at a high level. It's a job that requires management skills in addition to technical knowledge.

I love Labs too Cravkers and think he will be a great HC one day. AA was never on bad terms with SG. They always spoke.
Bill , I think you are confusing my post with somebody else. I didn't say anthony was on bad terms with goody. On a side note, I've been trying to email you and it's been bouncing back. Do you have a new email? I'm coming out to jersey in early May. Let me know.

Mr. G. appreciate your support and generosity for the benefit of Rutgers wrestling. However, it is common knowledge in the wrestling community that when Anthony left SKWC for NYCWC Goodale was butthurt and bad-mouthed Anthony. I am pleased that Goodale ate humble pie and Anthony is back with Rutgers.

I did hear something that they were on bad terms a while back. I'm not surprised. It's all smoke and mirrors with Goody. I've spoken to a couple wrestlers that were with him during the late 2010 Era, and they all said that he is a businessman first and a coach second. It was also coming from wrestlers that I never would guess thought of him that way.

Love that Ash is coming back and getting Knox is big, but we're still going to get rolled by the big name programs until we make a splash hire at HC
Goody has taken us as far as he can
Could you imagine burroughs as head coach, labs as associate head coach ,sasso and ash as assistants. Wow we would be lethal.

Pipe dream but if Burroughs ever took the head job here all of those guys would be gone. Burroughs has a tight circle and while there would be no shortage of applicants to be on his staff, I wouldn’t expect him to keep any of those guys.

Maybe someone else was holding the spoon as that pie was consumed. In any case, the new AD does not have a wrestling background, but I guarantee that she is a very quick learner. I expect her to watch AA's growth both as a wrestling coach and potential program head over the next few years. I trust she will make the right decisions and know when it's time to make them. Meanwhile, let's enjoy the return home of AA and root on our team. Thanks for listening. $$$$

Quick note on Keli Zinn. She has wrestling experience when she was in the West Virginia athletic department.

She’s known for the LSU experience recently … so you combine big time athletics, with a prior knowledge of Power 4 conference wrestling, she understands how big of a deal it is at Rutgers/at Big Ten institutions.
