Coleman interview

[AtownPoke]

The problem with NC is that those HC positions are stepping stones to more elite programs. Without home grown talent in NC, UNC and NCST will be wannabes with head coaches looking to attract a better program. A sad truth.

Pop seems comfy. I’d hope he stays awhile but who knows

NC State would disagree with you. They've posted some pretty good #s the last few years.

There are vast differences in the institutional support between the 3 programs in the triangle area. My understanding is NC State has pretty good commitment from the institution. Duke has very little- wrestling is unfunded, meaning no scholarships for wrestling and no help getting the wrestlers in school. UNC is in between. Pop has done an amazing job, but more resources and support than Coleman had at UNC.

They all compete in the ACC, but much more to evaluate their potential success at a place like Ok State than record, number of AA or champions at different schools.

My point was that if a bigger name program came calling, all of those coaches would certainly listen, as opposed to the Iowas, OSUs, and PSUs of the world.

UNC has never been a strong wrestling school. Basketball reigns supreme. You say we have “blind loyalty”. That would mean that we didn’t have any clue at how good he could be as a coach. We crushed it last year. We only lost to Iowa during the season and I saw significant improvements over the years proceeding in consistency. He had a two time national champ at UNC. We can’t say that over the same years. So, before you completely throw a former OSU great under the bus, check yourself bro.

That's a fair analysis. I'm really liking this board being more active.

Haha, you surprised for a second. I was like, sh$$, what did I say now?

Sometimes we fans have short memories. It just hit me wrong at the wrong time. Sorry I replied to your post though

UNC was actually setting themselves up to make a run at a trophy in 1994 when the tourmanent was at Chapel Hill. Ty Moore missed weight at 118. At 126 the started they had transferred to old dominion and was the runner up. UNC had the champ at 134. 8th at 167, 6th at 177, 8th at hwt.
