...who is your pick to take over? I'd be pleased with any of the following.
Brian Smith
Joe Heskett
Jim Gibbons
And of the three I'd go with Gibbons. He's been on the sidelines long enough. Let's see if he can bring some magic back. He's a very intelligent and well respected guy with a unique perspective: he has been closely watching and observing what it takes to have a successful college wrestling program AND he's an NCAA champion coach. Oh, and he LOVES ISU.
I think he would surround himself with the right assistant coaches to bring the program back to respectability.
