Former Oklahoma State wrestler and long-time assistant coach is headed south to Norman to become head coach at the Oklahoma Regional Training Center, University of Oklahoma head coach Lou Rosselli revealed on Twitter Monday.
"Sooner fans, join me in welcoming Eric Guerrero, as Head Coach of the Oklahoma R.T.C! Great day for the State of Oklahoma! @CoachESGuerrero" Rosselli tweeted.
A California native, the 40-year-old Guerrero spent half of his life in Stillwater, first as a three-time NCAA champ for the Cowboys, then in training for the 2004 Athens Olympics. He first joined Oklahoma State head coach John Smith's staff in 2000 as a strength and conditioning coach, then as an assistant coach in 2004, and, in 2012, was promoted to associate head coach.
In addition to his extensive collegiate coaching experience, Guerrero is no stranger to freestyle coaching. He served as head coach for the USA at the 2009 FILA Junior Freestyle World Championships in Ankara, Turkey and led that squad to its most successful showing in 11 years.
Eric Guerrero was welcomed into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame as a Distinguished Member in 2014.
