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.
I thought hard about him but the concussion risk scares me. Especially in a college room. I think most coaches roll with their athletes.
If it was a fireable offense he should not have done it to any kid. That being said I don't have any clue what happened at either school.
As far as staff goes... I'll trust Metcalf to put the best one together. What I'd love for them to be:
- Killer recruiter
Best Travis and Ross interview I’ve heard. Possibly because they don’t know what they’re talking about.
We dont need Zadick. We need someone thats a little larger to coach the upper weights. I am not sure whos available.
Metcalf has been great in all these interviews. Honestly I was skeptical but he seems like absolutely the right guy for the job.
We do have Chris Perry
And Layne Malczewski. Plus Yonger sticking around the CRTC
Is he just in waiting to get the assistant job? It explains the Brayden Thompson move. Any other OkSt guys that may want to come here? Lockett....
Perry is going to the RTC.
