I’m sure it’ll be similar to what the director of track/xc does. He oversees it all and still coaches. Plus he does a fantastic job bringing money into the athletic dept (NIL). So there’s added value by his fundraising abilities.
Wrestling Press Conference Scheduled for Tomorrow
- Thread starter jcordova8
- Start date
If Alli is the coach, I am sure he will help mentor her on how to be a head coach at the D1 level too. Metcalf has been in coaching for a while now, Alli has not, so it would make sense that he could be around to help her out with any questions she has while working on fundraising for the programs
Dresser will focus on fundraising, recruiting, getting the new women’s program up and running. His funding raising will more than cover his salary.
When @CY88 talks, I listen!!!
As far as the first part, the number of coaches is limited by the NCAA. I have just never heard of this role in wrestling before.
Good comments by you and others about fundraising. If he can raise more money than his salary than the department could raise without him, it makes more sense.
And if his contract is only for 2-3 more years, I would imagine we don't rehire for his position once he's done, but who knows.
The Cyclones TV YouTube page has a link for the press conference:
We also already have that with Robin Wilson.
Watching Flo and ISU has launched an official women’s wrestling Instagram.
i heard women's wrestling will have beers served
Now that would be worthy of a press conference

Robin is focused on day to day operations….lining up transportation, rooms, travel schedules, workout schedules, etc. The new position will docus on strategy, relationship building, fundraising, mentoring, etc. There is a big difference between the two.
These people do not preside over their wrestling program as people are discussing with KD. These people work for the head coach and for KD it is (apparently) the other way around.
I know that. I was responding to the person that said several other programs have a director of wrestling operations. Theirs is the same as ours is with Robin.
