Honestly it doesn't seem like he was in high school all that long ago!!

For any coaching change, the administrative culture at KSU must be understood. Take Okie State, Penn State, Bucks, and Iowa. They have excellent alumni and administrative support. What makes coaching hard as an assistant in high school and college is a combination of coaching and administration. I find that most coaches want control or absolute control, and I have seen this alienate the alumni from support. Being aligned with the administration will keep your job, but may not lead to success. It isn't as collaborative as we might hope or think. I know many assistants who never run practices or show tech, even though they may be very qualified. This happens at many schools, but oddly not at the best schools. Well I don't know about Oklahoma State, but Penn State, Bucks, and Iowa all the guys show tech.

KSU has not been very good since Ian Miller and doesn't appear to get a lot of administrative support. Maybe they bring back Josh Moore?

The arc of KSU under Andrassy is interesting. For several years in the mid-teens they were excellent, producing nationally relevant wrestlers annually. And many were not high level recruits so you can point directly to development in the room.
