whats his position? Should be a pretty good indicator of their affection. 

no official position right now, he has to wait until his OSU contract is done. I THINK that goes down this summer, do not quote me on that. But he has been doing a lot of one on one's with several of the kids. I am told he is really good at telling them what shots and style fits them best (the younger kids) and I am also told he is amazing at game planning. I would be shocked if he does not end up full time on the staff. I was not a big fan while he was at OSU, but I only seen the off the mat stuff. I can see now why Lockett, Carroll, Thompson and some of these kids like him as a coach.

This is awesome.  Hearing one or two of his interviews over the years, I was blown away by his level of understanding of the sport and the degree to which he understood both the technical and mental side of wrestling in his own way.  

The only person I've heard discuss wrestling in that level of detail and nuance is Ben Askren.

I felt similarly while he was at OSU, but the more I look back the more I feel like he really didn't have an option, "expected behavior" so to speak.

Iowa State seems to really be turning into one of those programs for coaches and wrestlers who just love wrestling.
