Patrick Mangan Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Legend. There's a bunch of videos from a coaches clinic he did a few years back on youtube that I watch religiously. MUSKEEWRESTLER, Beamaker and Dingo Brigade 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Wow. I really assumed he would have one more final year left in him with having a decent team and bringing in Colman Scott already to help with guiding the program. Heck of a career for him as both a competitor and coach. Patrick Mangan, MUSKEEWRESTLER, Beamaker and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIACfan Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 The man is a living legend. OSU & the sport of wrestling is losing one of the GOAT's. He is still relatively young, I wonder what his plans are? Dingo Brigade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Brigade Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Like Matt said, I figured OSU had a succession plan with Coleman Scott, who really elevated North Carolina during his tenure there. Those are some massive shoes to fill for Scott. Smith has always been one of my favorite figures in NCAA wrestling and I will miss his scowls matside. He often has a big presence at World Team and Olympic Team Trials and I'm sure this week will be no different. piscis1956, Beamaker and MUSKEEWRESTLER 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
