1032004 Posted April 18 Author Posted April 18 Will there be speculation that Robie will resign after next season?
Greenwave Posted April 18 Posted April 18 His NCAA champ Henson is only a sophomore, I can’t see him leaving on him.

BuckyBadger Posted April 18 Posted April 18 Unless he becomes head coach in a few years, I have a hard time understanding this one. 1

Is Robie retiring? Hasn't he been pretty highly regarded with his work at Columbia? 2 I am very active on X: https://x.com/WrestlingSNL

Lunaticfringe Posted April 19 Posted April 19 1 hour ago, 1032004 said: How does taking a demotion help that? He’s a head coach of a below average program. A lot of times Associate Head Coaches at top few programs get head coaching jobs at middle of the road schools before Head Coaches of bad teams. Sean Bormet got Michigan over a established head coach Alex Clemson got Maryland Tony Ersland got Purdue Mike Poeta got Illinois Roger Chandler MSU Brandon Eggum MN Doug Schwab UNI Damion Hahn SDSU It’s not a requirement to be a current head coach to get the next job in line. However having it on a resume is a good thing but also let’s say Virginia Tech gets 2nd to Penn St which is totally possible, it will look good he helped push them over the hump.

Obviously assistants and associate HC’s can get head coaching jobs, but I don’t think there’s any advantage to that if you’re already a HC, unless you are hoping to get the HC job at the school you’re going to, hence the Robie comment as I mentioned. All the guys on your list had never been head coaches before. And half of them were promoted at their own school. Similar to the Coleman Scott discussion, the COL difference is likely a factor. But I don’t think the move helps him get a different HC job unless there is a succession plan with Robie. Oh and Columbia is not below average. They finished above average this year including ahead of half of the coaches you listed.
BuckyBadger Posted April 19 Posted April 19 (edited) If his goal is to take over a bigger program, what does he get out of leaving Columbia? He’s done a great job bringing that program up a few notches, why not continue until the HC opportunity he’s looking for opens up. The only thing I can think of is if internally things at Columbia make it an unattractive place to continue coaching. But I don’t really understand how going to VT as associate HC really helps him. Also, I’m kind of surprised Frayer would not be the associate HC. Edited April 19 by BuckyBadger

But coaching at an Ivy is going to have a lot more hoops and hurdles than a state school. what Cornell does is nothing short of spectacular given the current landscape of college athletics(no transfers for Ivy, Greyshirt vs. redshirt, no 12 years eligibility) and the admissions rigor of the school.
