Now he's heading back to NJ to basically head up a program that's entering the Big Ten. Smart move for Rutgers. I can easily see him taking over in a few years.        Discussion Topic: D-I NCAA Coaching changes Pat Altvater added to this discussion on May 6, 2014 It was just announced that Bruce Burnett returned from retirement to coach the US Freestyle team after Zeke's resignation to take the ASU job. This should end a lot of speculation of who they might hire, and if OSU was in danger of losing Lou to the Team USA head coaching job. http://news.theopenmat.com/2014/05/bruce-burnett-returns-as-national-freestyle-coach-to-serve-through-2016-olympics-in-rio-de-janeiro-brazil/        Discussion Topic: D-I NCAA Coaching changes Shawn Andrews added to this discussion on May 6, 2014 Anyone else surprised at how long it is taking WVU and Purdue to fill their positions?        Discussion Topic: D-I NCAA Coaching changes Hank Kornblut added to this discussion on May 6, 2014 Looks to me like Bruce Burnett was brought in to oversee things while USA wrestling waits for who they really want. Also looks to me like they didn't want to hire Brandon Slay. Just me offering speculation.        Discussion Topic: D-I NCAA Coaching changes Bob Preusse added to this discussion on May 6, 2014 Burnett not a temp, has always been held in HIGH esteem by USAWR, hes the guy they want imo. COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Bruce Burnett of Dover, Idaho has been hired to return to USA Wrestling as its National Freestyle Coach, and lead the men's freestyle program through the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janiero, Brazil. Burnett resigned after 13 years as head coach at the Naval Academy this year. Burnett served as the National Freestyle Coach for USA Wrestling for two Olympic cycles, from 1993-2000, which are considered among the most successful for the United States in history. During his eight years leading the program, the United States won the World Team titles in men's freestyle in both 1993 in Toronto, Canada and 1995 in Atlanta, Ga., the only two times in history. In addition, the United States won the medal count in men's freestyle at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Ga.        Discussion Topic: D-I NCAA Coaching changes Mike Hojnacki added to this discussion on May 7, 2014 From Les Gutches' perspective, Bruce is a short term solution... http://www.flowrestling.org/coverage/251592-Beat-the-Streets-2014/video/745011-Les-Gutches-on-Bruce-Burnett-being-named-Olympic-coach#.U2oaTjl91G4 They're also very close to hiring our Greco coach too.        Discussion Topic: D-I NCAA Coaching changes Mike Hojnacki added to this discussion on May 7, 2014 However, to Bob's point, Burnett is a stud. I really liked Zeke as our coach because he was a man with a plan. With the momentum of America's program right now, I feared that we might lose that, but Burnett was our coach during one of America's most successful runs at the world level. From what I hear, he is a master strategist and I think USA will be just fine until his successor is groomed.        Discussion Topic: D-I NCAA Coaching changes Hank Kornblut added to this discussion on May 7, 2014 Quote from Mike Hojnacki's post: "However, to Bob's point, Burnett is a stud.

It's possible he told them he'd love to do it but doesn't want to leave OSU with Logan going for four and the team in the hunt for a title. Bad timing. Perhaps Burnett, who's clearly a fine coach, is filling in until Lou (or someone in a similar situation...perhaps even Cael Sanderson) is more ready to make a move.        Discussion Topic: D-I NCAA Coaching changes Bob Preusse added to this discussion on May 7, 2014 in 2 years the list of coaching possibles will look different, some new guys will have emerged, others now prominent may drop from the picture. Burnett is the surest thing right now, USAWR is lucky a man of his caliber is available-- an older savvy veteran with proven record of success. Thats money in the bank. (keep in mind USAWR prior to Zeke had gone thru a number of National Freestyle Coach's who did not have much success.)        Discussion Topic: D-I NCAA Coaching changes Mark Niemann added to this discussion on May 19, 2014 Most likely gonna hear an announcement made today concerning The Bull and WVU. Be ready.        Discussion Topic: D-I NCAA Coaching changes Hank Kornblut added to this discussion on May 19, 2014 Which leaves Purdue still wide open.        Discussion Topic: D-I NCAA Coaching changes Mark Niemann added to this discussion on May 19, 2014 Quote from Hank Kornblut's post: "Which leaves Purdue still wide open." Not necessarily "wide" open. Morgan assures me he's getting close. Unfortunately, I don't like one of his candidates. He, on the other hand, LOVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! him. We'll see.        Discussion Topic: D-I NCAA Coaching changes Shawn Andrews added to this discussion on May 19, 2014 Morgan?? AD at Purdue? Come on cruiser we all know sweet Lou but who else?        Discussion Topic: D-I NCAA Coaching changes Mark Niemann added to this discussion on May 19, 2014 Morgan Burke, yes. I call him Morgan. We're col like that. The other candidate??? Can't. Breach of trust. I'll let you know after he gives me the ok.        ► Add to the Discussion Page Previous  1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10  Next
