Idaho Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Reader is apparently leaving coaching altogether. According to Wisconsin Wrestle he is taking a position as VP ofsalesfor the state of Wisconsin with Home Pro Roofing. I thought Reader was a great coach there. I have heard great things about him . Wisconsin fans chime in! Sponsored by INTERMAT
Idaho Posted March 23 Author Posted March 23 From Basch Justin Basch @JustinJBasch Big news out of Madison. Wisconsin Associate Head Coach Jon Reader is stepping away from wrestling to pursue an opportunity outside the sport. This is a tough loss for the Badgers, Reader has been a cornerstone of that program and one of the most respected, genuine guys in wrestling. The kind of coach athletes gravitate toward and programs are built around. At the same time, nothing but respect for him making this move. Opportunities like this don’t come around often, and it sounds like the right move for him and his family. Wishing Jon Reader nothing but success in this next chapter! The wrestling world is better because of guys like him. Sponsored by INTERMAT
Hurricane Wrestling Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Hate to see him leave wrestling and wish him the best in his new job. Always a class act. 1
HungusMungus Posted March 23 Posted March 23 In my opinion, Bono need to hit a homerun on this hire, and no disrespect to Cass & Model he can't promote one of them to the lead assistant role, he needs a difference maker. Bono is not liked among the HS coaches and clubs, need someone that can be that conduit, and lure some kids to Madison. Make or break hire for Bozo. 3
Dogbone Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Unfortunately, I think this ensures their decline continues. If they are willing to continue to extend Bono as they have done, i don't see them pony up big bucks to get a splash hire. Bono will find a warm body, but it won't be on the par of Reader. 2
flyingcement Posted March 23 Posted March 23 If they can't get a big name as lead assistant, I could see Cassioppi getting that role and then hiring a lightweight from the RTC like Eric Barnett to the staff.
flyingcement Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Actually I wonder if Burwick would have any interest in the role 1 1
HungusMungus Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Just now, flyingcement said: Actually I wonder if Burwick would have any interest in the role Tristian Moran, Evan Wick, Trent Hilger....the list of disgruntled ex-Bono athletes is long. 2
WrestlingFan89 Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Seth Gross might be a good replacement if he left on good terms. 2

MNRodent Posted March 23 Posted March 23 We do get a lot of roof hail damage up here in the upper midwest, so this could be a profitable opportunity for him, and probably less painful than putting up with some of the fair-weather Badger fans. 1
NewYooper Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Once upon a time, there was another wrestler on this board who was a roofer, and if you don't know who I am talking about, I am calling you a liar. 3

OMW Posted March 23 Posted March 23 He'll probably transition into a real sales role well as he's had to sell teenagers and their parents to wrestle for Wisconsin even with Bono as the coach! 1

Holtfan Posted March 23 Posted March 23 3 hours ago, Idaho said: Home Pro Roofing. Ironically, HPR--at least in Michigan--is comprised of many former wrestlers. Almost all of the Regional Managers are well known in the wrestling community, include "Michigan Grappler" who has a huge territory in SE Michigan. At least I find it ironic.
