Disco Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Any word here on Mena stepping down from the asst. coaching job at I.U. This is a real set back for the University. Gold man needs to follow suit. But Wrestling is the least of Indiana's problems in athletics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drooke Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Disco I asked this yesterday on the HS forum (because it gets more traffic) and have yet to find out anything. I think this is a huge loss for the IU program. Mena was a huge selling point for recruiting. I wish him the best in his future endeavors. I just hope that it might include being a head coach somewhere. I think he would do very well if given the opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdnobbe Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Illiniosmatmen had a thread on this with a bit more information saying that he was wanting to do something else and also enjoy his family. I have always been impressed with Coach Mena. He has come to our school for the past five years I believe and put on excellent one- and two-day camps for our kids. Our school is not a short drive from Bloomington. In fact, he just put on a camp on April 1 at our school. He had his same enthusiasm as I have always seen from him. He is an excellent role model who spoke very well to our kids about many things beyond just wrestling. I know that we have appreciated his efforts over these past few years. I certainly wish him and his family the best in whatever direction they decide to head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
