That included the University of Pittsburgh, where Flynn pulled his name from consideration over the weekend.
After recently completing his 20th season as Edinboro's head coach, Flynn has reaffirmed his commitment to the University and its wrestling program.
"I'm not going anywhere," emphasized Flynn. "Edinboro is a special place. It would be very, very hard for me to ever leave.
"I talked to the administration and I like the plan for the future for the University. I like the vision and I want to be a part of that. I still believe Edinboro is a great place and will be a great place to get an education and win national championships."
Flynn has served as Edinboro's head coach since 1997. He owns the career record for victories with a 215-90-5 record while leading Edinboro to 15 Eastern Wrestling League championships and 17 PSAC crowns. He has been named the PSAC Coach of the Year 14 times, and has been the EWL Coach of the Year seven times.
All told, Flynn has coached three national champions and 38 All-Americans, including Sean Russell this past season. He has led Edinboro to six Top 10 finishes at the NCAA Division I National Championships. That includes a third place finish in 2015, the first time the Fighting Scots reached the medal stand, along with a fifth place finish in 2014, and a sixth place showing in 2009.
