Gene Mills Fan Posted April 29 Posted April 29 29 minutes ago, Packard said: Is Drake Ayala really a game changing coach for Iowa State? I keep seeing this is a major hire and a huge splash? I could see a scenario where if he's going to do freestyle getting beat up by Spencer and Austin is not his best path forward. Maybe if likes to stay in Iowa shifting to focus on coaching as primary gig and continue to work with D. Carr who is more his prototype for the future. Maybe timing with Cyclone staff reduced and inquiring?

If not, it would be strange for him to change his tactics at WI. If yes, it's strange that it worked at UTC and SDSU. Did it really work at SDSU and UTC? If Seth Gross doesn't get in trouble at Iowa and get picked up by SDSU, what accomplishment would he have? Take away Seth Gross and you could argue his results at UTC and SDSU don't suggest he would be a top 10-15 coach. From AI: During Chris Bono's tenure as head coach at South Dakota State (2012-13 to 2017-18), the team's NCAA tournament finishes were: 2018: 12th place (Best finish; 1 National Champion, 3 All-Americans) - Gross -1st, Kocer 7th, Zilverback 8th 2017: 16th place (2 All-Americans) - Gross - 2nd and Kocer 8th 2016: Tied for 39th place (0 All-Americans) 2015: 41st place (0 All-Americans) 2014: 52nd place (0 All-Americans) 2013: 54th place (1 Qualifier) 1
Dogbone Posted April 29 Posted April 29 Drake Ayala might be a great coach but hiring a guy right after his senior year, doesn't seem like a huge splash. Now Thomas Gilman would be a huge splash, but as much as I am rooting for it, it probably won't happen. 2

His second season there, they had their last AA when Cody Cleveland finished 8th at 141. They haven't had a single AA since then, almost 20 years, and Bono was gone two years later. If Bo Bassett doesn't ever do anymore than AA two times I will delete my whole ass account.....WrestlingRash sucks
