New head coach

Re: New head coach

And he will work for nothing? I find that a little hard to believe. With his background, he has to be paid somehow.

I believe his compensation will come from the RTC, regional training center. That was the goal, that the 4th coach would be brought in to spearhead that endeavor.

I believe Chris will have ties to the Jacks as a coach but will add the primary function of running the Jackrabbit Wrestling Club(JWC) as well as dome fundraising. Welcome to Brookings Chris, #stayjacked!

I'm not well versed in how wrestling coaches are handled but I assume volunteer means unpaid?

Chris Dardanes, lower weight coach, added to Jackrabbits staff

South Dakota State University wrestling coach Damion Hahn announced Monday the addition of Chris Dardanes (pronounced dar-DANES) to his inaugural coaching staff as a volunteer assistant.
“I am thrilled to add Chris to our staff,” Hahn said. “I am confident he will have an immediate impact on our program and will add tremendous value in recruiting and working with our light- and middle-weight student-athletes.”
A Chicago native, Dardanes earned All-America honors three times while wrestling collegiately at the University of Minnesota from 2012-15. He placed fourth at 133 pounds in both 2012 and 2015, while earning a sixth-place finish in 2013. Dardanes finished his collegiate career with 101 victories.
For the past two years, Dardanes and his twin brother, Nick, have been members of the Hawkeye Wrestling.
“I am thrilled and honored to begin my coaching career as part of the Jackrabbit wrestling staff,” Dardanes said. “I have to thank coach Hahn and the rest of the support system for putting their trust in me. I am excited to make big things happen in Brookings.”

Re: New head coach

Has anyone mentioned how funny it will be when he first hears students sing "Far Across"? I know usd doesn't have wrestling, but he's bound to hear eventually.

Re: New head coach

Hahn said by the end of the week there should be an announcement of another assistant coach, and then after that he's looking for a third coach that will have a dual role with the regional training center.
