odd timing don't you think? Im guessing there is an NCAA violation involved.

Given some recent firings, that might be preferable.

Wowzer. This sure came out of left field (at least to me).

Kind of hard to come up with a rationale for changing coaches at the end of October. Unless there are abnormal issues (health of coach, employment code violation, recruiting violation, etc.), the time to change wrestling coaches is in March/April.

Then again, college football seems to be changing the timing of changing coaches, as there have been a few already fired during this season. So perhaps my previous paragraph is more a history observation than the current reality.

Certainly does seem unusual to me.

I wonder if this causes Nick Reenan to change his college plans, or at least to re-open his recruitment.

Sorry to hear this is going on, but very happy for my friend and former Renegades teammates, Storni. He'll do a good job for NW in the interim.
