Wow, getting Bono to leave UTC to be an assistant is an impressive feat.

ISU2008 · 06-03-2009, 05:53 PM

Yeah, I can't believe he made the jump. Considering he got passed over on the head coaching job twice, if I was Bono I'd have a hard time becoming an assistant. Still, I'll bet the pay is probably as high or higher than the head coaching job at UTC. He should help a lot with the administrative side of things, so all in all I say it's a good hire for ISU, especially considering that a few of the wrestlers themselves were wanting Bono for the head coach.

Also being thrown around are names like the Paulsons, Herbert, Gavin, and Dlagnev to train in Ames, but even being the Cyclone fan I am, I would be shocked if any of them (save maybe Dlagnev) are.

I'd have to bet Bono was offered decent money and also the lure of being a "head coach in waiting" or atleast he will carry that impression for awhile

Really question is who takes over the Iowa State of the south, UTC??

Yeah, the state of UTC is the worrying part right now. Brands, Seay and Bono is a short amount time - big name coaches but with people leaving so frequently does this prevent them from landing another big name? I know Bono made strides and started a freestyle club there as well, what does his departure do for that?

Bono is the perfect hire for ISU...
