Pride for the Pride: New Hofstra HC Jamie Franco

On July 1st, Hofstra announced that Jamie Franco would be the program's new head coach. Now, Franco is a name that needs no introduction to Hofstra fans as he was a CAA champion and three-time national qualifier for the Pride. He also spent seven years on Hofstra's coaching staff before moving to Columbia for the 2023-24 campaign. Franco talks to Austin Sommer about his love for his alma mater and how that passion never dimmed no matter where he was coaching. The two discuss his year at Columbia and how he grew under Zach Tanelli - one of his old collegiate coaches. Franco also talks about the upcoming season and how excited he is for a wrestling homecoming event to get the alumni and wrestling community in Long Island excited about the program.
