tiltfor3 20 Report post Posted March 5, 2018 Will Alvarez give Kyle Ruschell a shot? I mean he's been assistant for quite a while now. Pat Popolizo at NC State is due for a promotion. (I think everyone is waiting for John Smith to retire.) Who else would they get? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildcat2002 190 Report post Posted March 6, 2018 I would hope so, if not whoever come in should give him a shot on staff. As for Pat, I feel he has it pretty good at NC state. A bit of a fringe program, but he has the opportunity to do big things in the acc, without the pressures of Penn State, TOSU and Iowa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeus 117 Report post Posted March 6, 2018 Is Smith expected to retire? I haven't followed Okla St that closely, especially in that regard, but he's just in his early fifties I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His son will be a junior next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CradleKY 132 Report post Posted March 6, 2018 I know Campbell didn't do great this season but eventually Kolat has to make the jump up to the big schools right? Wisc should give him a look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nike Man 292 Report post Posted March 6, 2018 Love Barry Davis. His personality is second to none. Sure hope Kyle gets the opportunity to step up as head coach. He has more than earned his shot! Best of luck Kyle! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bearcats Coach 94 Report post Posted March 6, 2018 Davis is a class act. Great coach and even a better man. He has done well at Wisconsin and I wish him the best. Really hope they give Kyle Ruschell the opportunity. He deserves it. Kyle has always carried himself very professional and it seems like the wrestlers up there really connect with him. Would love to see Louisville start a program and Kyle get that job. Not so sure Louisville is still interested in adding wrestling to their sports programs. But Kyle for sure should get the job at Wisconsin! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crazyotto 381 Report post Posted March 8, 2018 Hate to see Davis leave, but the program has skidded in recent years and it may be time for a change. Poolizio isn’t going anywhere. He has a good thing going. ACC wrestling seems to be on the rise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
