Brent Metcalf Head Coach?

It would be sweet to get a guy who’s been fired from assistant coaching jobs at both Iowa and Iowa State?
a kid I coached was on the team when zaddick was there and he said he was by far his favorite coach on the team. Not to mention the kid he got fired over ended up leaving Iowa state for a Michigan the next year. Zaddick is a good dude, just look what he’s doing in Montana for wrestling.

There’s more to being a quality major college assistant than being a wrestler’s favorite coach and a “good dude.”

He would be a bad hire for the 2nd time. No way does ISU make the same mistake twice.

Obviously I know they won’t hire him back but I’m saying I wish that whole situation wouldn’t have happened, he’s a bright mind in the wrestling world that has a lot of knowledge to give. I think not just one kid respected from what I was told. And the fact that he was at Vtech with KD prior for 2 years coaching says something too.

I don’t think Zadick’s issue has ever been his coaching ability or having wrestlers like him.

Tends to be an issue when you’re a hot head and like to overstep out of your role.

He does have lot of knowledge. Again that doesn’t make him a high level D1 assistant coach. He’s not cut out for it. Clearly.

Don’t feel sorry for the guy. He has only himself to blame for getting canned from major jobs twice.

Definitely intense and I think said/did the wrong thing to the wrong kid.
