Not a real shocker, but a little bit of a surprise in terms of timing. Does this even up ISU and U of I in terms of head coaches? :) We got Gable, they got Metcalf. :)

Nice of them to give Metcalf head coaching experience to see if he’s got the juice so Iowa can evaluate him for the opening whenever it happens.

Big move by ISU. Congrats to Metcalf, that's a very legit program to be given the reigns over. Wonder what the assistant staff over there is going to look like.. wouldn't be surprised to see him go after at least one decent name assistant coach in this transfer.

Clearly. Forgive me. It's 4:23 on Friday. Literally counting the minutes.
Yeah?

Is this even real? Pat isn't much of an official source. Dresser could change capacities I suppose but he has a few years left on his contract.

Maybe he can actually make their wrestling program relevant. Wasn't this year supposed to be their best roster top-to-bottom in decades and they finished what, 8th with zero national champions?

Just think Iowa lost a dual to that irrelevant program. Sad times for the entire state of Iowa wrestling. Both programs are stagnated and UNI failed to produce a single AA. One top recruit in this year's senior class and he is heading to Oklahoma.

Oh I get that. But we're at our rock bottom as a program and they're supposedly in their glory years... and we nearly doubled up their team point total at Nattys.

Brent should have been added to our Staff when he quit competing. All the TnT nut huggers said how do we know he ca coach out of one side of their mouths while saying Warner will do great out of the other. That is why no one can take them seriously.

Brent will probably add someone like Kemerer and McD and watch them pass us by.
