Espo Gone
- Thread starter PoOsKuE
- Start date
Happy for him and as much as he will be missed, I would think this is the best thing for his career.
Just don't want a nepotism hire.
Wouldn't hurt to get someone outside of the program to offer fresh perspectives

Agree 100% we need someone outside the OSU family tree. Preferably someone with close ties to the Jersey/PA area, similar to what Espo had with Blair.
olympic training center in Colorado Springs. Must be taking over for James Green. Here is a link to the job opening https://www.teamusa.org/USA-Wrestli...-Opportunity-Mens-Freestyle-Development-Coach

And what recruits did we get from Blair that has helped the program
Or from the East Coast in the last 15 years that has helped the program
Pat Smith will never get into college coaching. He has it too good where he’s at congrats to him.
Look at this guy…
But is he wrong? I would say no. The decision is probably already made on who is going to step in. I think it should be Cael Sanderson! haha All jokes aside, hopefully it is someone that will bring in good recruits and make a solid impact to these young men and the program!
He’s not wrong, but as someone who loves being an ass online I still think it’s odd to make it his entire persona.
🤣 if he was a doctor I'd say his bedside manner is severely lacking. I appreciate the info he gives, but he definitely comes across as an ass most of the time
Shouldn't let people you do not know get to your feelings. haha And he does pass along some good information. Let's get back to the topic though. There has to be some word out there on who is going to take the position? Anyone hearing anything?
It would be great to add a young big name coach. Like a Jason Nolf or someone similar.
But Blair says the staff will just move up. So how about naming GWH assistant coach and then hiring Willie Saylor as recruiting coordinator? He almost accepted a position a couple of years back, might have been at UNC.
He obviously has the knowledge and relationships with recruits and their families. If the compensation is right, he might go for it.

While not as many as central US, I would say Jordan Oliver and Nick P were very good, leaders while wrestling and from the NE.
honestly, if we don't upgrade and GWH and Caldwell are our assistant coaches that is a big problem, at least ESPO was an elite college wrestler (not that alone makes someone a great coach). No offense to GWH and I'm Caldwell sure they are good coaches but we should have a higher standard at OSU and no reason we shouldn't have some of the top young guys who are looking to cut their teeth in coaching be a part of our program, like Nolf, Vincenzo Joseph, etc
Tyler Caldewll two-time NCAA finalist, 4x AA
Nolf is a no because he still competing full-time but the rest of your comment makes a lot of sense
This might be one of the stupidest comments ever made on here. you might call Mike Gray at Cornell, Brian Smith Missouri and tell them they’re not good coaches because they weren’t national champs. When are people going to realize great wrestlers don’t always become great coaches.
I said over the last 15 years Nick is the only one I forgot Dakota gear was not recruited by Zach Esposito
ESposito gave his all to OSU and bleeds orange. Dude doesn’t deserve anything but respect .
Big fan of him. He is a great guy also. Will miss seeing him in Stillwater but I bet he will be back pulling for the pokes when he can.
Probably the right move for all parties.
