Re: Iowa State Head Coaching Position Open

I guess the question Bono has to bonder is does he want to build his legacy or be just another head coach from Iowa State.

I'll comb through youtube later and see what videos I can share...Maybe even throw in a little wikipedia.

Yikes. I'm just saying that Sell needs to give Bono a raise otherwise Bono is gone. It's not some ultimatum or anything. Lmao

Re: Iowa State Head Coaching Position Open

Current wrestling facilities at SDSU are not superior to Iowa State. Honestly, ours are subpar. ISU has a much larger and newer practice room, and dedicated space for a team room as well as a dedicated weight room for wrestling. As someone mentioned above, fast tracking the facility piece at SDSU may be critical to this process.

Other stuff is not equal either. Coaching salary isn't far apart, but I believe budgets for the programs are significantly different. One could argue that recruiting area is stronger there as well - taking into consideration that IA produces more division 1 talent than SD and they can recruit more nationally based on past prestige.

agree to disagree.

Like some kind of ultimatum, huh?
There’s always more places to put money than there is money in college athletics. It troubles me when some suggest the AD controls a fund that he can just tap into for a pay raise.



SoDakJack is focused.SDSU athletics boosters generally (and probably the die-hard wrestling fansin particular) will have to open up their pocketbooks and pour some money intothe athletic department to so that the AD can offer a raise to Coach Bono.

I hope that happens. He's driven the Jackrabbit name into prominence in relatively short order.

Sell better give Bono a pay nice raise

At some point the boosters have to step up to the plate and help offset pay for our coaches. There is no way that the athletic department can be the only one to fund the salaries that will be required.

As a practical matter, won't the people who donate to athletics be the ones who give the raise?

I'm biased with this, but let me just throw some thoughts out. Iowa State isn't the elite landing pad it once was. I believe they haven't sniffed a national championship in almost 30 years. Recruiting in state will be tougher, as you are competing with Iowa and Northern Iowa who currently better programs. $ isn't that far off, the big divide will be multi year contracts. I'm not sure you can throw the mid-major tag out their for SDSU in wrestling. We have superior facilities and everything else vs Iowa State is a tie.

Iowa State is the Noter Dame of wrestling. Their time was in the past.

Again...this is me praying to the 6lb 8oz baby Jesus that we keep Bono.

Re: Iowa State Head Coaching Position Open

Fast tracking the phase of Frost Arena upgrades that includes the new wresting room will be just as important as a salary bump. I'm not sure if Phase I currently includes wrestling or not.

I think you could add equestrian to that list but don't know for sure.

It looks like Justin has been busy. He's had to hire MBB, Baseball, S&D, Tennis, Soccer, Equestrian, Volleyball, Wrestling, Golf and Softball all in the last 3 years or so. That's probably twice as many coaches as he's had to hire in the first 5 years here. That is a lot of information to run through in a short period of time. Of course, now that we are DI, this might be more of the norm.

I would like to think that its pretty common to have a short list of coaches on a short list or first contacts. considering we had 1 year contracts for ever, that I would like to think the Admin would be able to move quickly and with out much surprise to get a coaching search going.
