My buddy told me he read on a board, not this one, that a mystery assistant coach interviewed to fill Adam's spot. Said if we got him it would be huge, and would be almost like a revitalization, instead of the potential drop off when losing a coach of Adam's caliber.

Anybody heard about this and have any idea who it could be?

Excited about the possibility. Going to miss Adam.

It's just a guess with no factual angle.

Quote:

RALEIGH NC State head wrestling coach Pat Popolizio has announced that Zack Esposito will join his staff and serve as an associate head coach. The veteran coach comes to the Wolfpack after a stint with USA Wrestling.

"Zack is a big impact hire", said Popolizio. "He comes from an elite background of wrestling, has produced at all levels and is a proven winner. His values mirror everything that our program stands for and I am confident that we will continue to build on the momentum that has continued to grow in the past several seasons. He shares the same goals as the rest of us, to win a national title."

[...]

"I am thrilled to join Pat Popolizio and the NC State wrestling staff", said Esposito. "His reputation as a coach and the culture he has cultivated at NC State are truly remarkable. I want to express my gratitude to USA Wrestling, Bill Zadick, and Joe Russell for their unwavering support. The season spent with them was an invaluable learning experience. I look forward to developing student-athletes and working alongside the rest of the dedicated staff members of the Wolfpack wrestling program."

Don't know why he's not a HC, but I believe his parents live in JoCo which might have been a hook.

I was traveling from PA today and you could see Penn State Wrestling shifts everywhere. Spoke to a couple guys that by chance were from Hidlay's home town. They were very very complimentary of what Pop has done at NC State.

Go Pack!
