He could still potentially be an assistant coach. It seems slightly worrying that there has been this long since the press conference and no word on him.
Assistant Coaches
- Thread starter Chasingthirty-five
- Start date
This looks like another hire built jointly help the college team but also CWC. He has a coach and/or director of wrestling clubs at all of this stops. It appears he was the main coach for Joey McKenna while at Penn.
I don't know how accurate this is...but it was mentioned that the ops coach can be in a corner for the school if that person is alumni. If that is true, it certainly bodes well for Caldwell.
Being alumni matters none. I have seen ops coaches in the corner who aren't alumni
Seemed weird to me...just thought I'd ask here. I've never been alive when non-alum were coaching for OSU.
New times in Stillwater DT and staff will crush it no doubt. They've resources like wrestling has never seen
Yup was told Director of Op’s. So right guy, wrong position. I was also told that Director of Op’s isn’t allowed to roll around with the students per NCAA rules. Not sure how much truth that is but could be why the title change. This was said to be a done deal days ago. So the wait to announce is interesting. Could be title change related.
Tyler Caldwell is listed among all the new guys as 3rd Assistant Coach!!

I’m thinking it’s a long audition / feeling out process.
Yes it is!!!

Oh boy, another bandwagonner
I apologize for the sh$$ you're going to get for this... @CowboyUp61 is the absolute salt of the Earth best Poke fan.
My only question now is… who is going to roll with the bigs? Considering we made a run at tervel first, it was obviously something DT was thinking about. Will it be DT?
Seems like he could easily go against anyone through 197.
If you get Hendrickson in the room, that seems to take care of that weight.
I’ve seen Perry rolling with the bigs previously.
DT will be fine and should create a dynamic look for the upper weights.
Caldwell was already the assistant coach last year. If he was hired for this upcoming season, I do believe that there would have been an official announcement made.Tyler Caldwell is listed among all the new guys as 3rd Assistant Coach!!

I’d imagine it’s only RTC help if anything
Okay, I’ve asked again and I got it wrong.
It wasn’t about being in the corner it was about wrestling in the room with the team? Still seems weird to me?
There are more than a few big time schools where this position is filled by a woman. Not to diminish anyone but I don’t think NC State had their Dir of Ops goings against Hidlay.
Maybe, maybe not. Do you announce a guy that is staying on? The important thing is, they updated the website late this week and he is still on the site…for the 2024-2025 Season.
He’s very good at that. And could help with the big guys too. Just not enough room to write all of that in the profile 😉😊
W/O Tervel it seems like DT could’ve switched gears and decided to roll with the bigs himself? Makes TC more valuable
Said in another post…it seems certain DT will roll with the bigs up to at least 197. TC can help there as well.
It will be a different look than they were getting (not bad, just different). Personally, it was hilarious watching Perry ride Surber.
I wouldn't. It would simply highlight those not retained, and the team doesn't need that negative light. I think they did it exactly right. He was an asst and he is still an asst. Nothing new to announce.

I would like a tweet at least personally, but I do agree it would highlight the fact he is the only one kept which would put a negative spin on keeping him. So either way I’m just glad we kept him.
It may even have been that Caldwell was asked whether he wanted an announcement or not and chose not to have one so as not to embarass any of the former coaches. It's a close knit community in the coaching ranks.
loved your wings recipe. I'm going to try it next weekend. I'll let you know.
I bet he is in. They don’t just leave a coach on the board.
What’s the word on JO. Seems to be some chatter on Twitter about if the Cowboys should hire him. He has commented or retweeted some stuff as well.
Would love the hire but haven’t seen any real traction about it.

He would be a perfect hire. Heard he was a phenomenal coach and was extremely knowledgeable. Plus, fans would appreciate a familiar face, from the Smith tree, but you would get a coach with varied experience with a huge repertoire of knowledge
@Shootwrestling has been giving it his damndest and JO is all about it but I don’t see it happening. I’d love it though
