Two great long-time coaches. Will be interesting to see who is brought in to replace and if it has a domino effect. I assume there is a chance they hire within.

I agree, great coaches. I can't believe Davis has been there 25 years. Time flies by.

Thankfully, we won't have to hear Tim Johnson refer to the Silver Fox anymore. That got old.

Barry is a great man. His time there had run its course. I'll bet on Mark Perry to Wisconsin.

Though Pritzlaff is not as hot a name as he was a few years ago, gotta think he would be on the list.

I remember as a kid watching Barry wrestle. Legend. One of my top-3 all time favorite Iowa wrestlers. During his interview he did say something about he'll be back before long. Not sure what he meant.

Not exactly sure.

I got the feeling that he was forced out and not happy about it.

I heard this weekend that Askren and Bono were interviewing for the Wisconsin job (not sure how credible the source was, so take that for what it's worth). Bono has done great at SDSU, but not sure he would be the flashy hire at Wisco that Askren would be.
