Every college wrestling off-season brings about countless coaching changes that can be hard to keep up with. However, we have you covered! Below you will find an updated list of all of the coaching changes thus far this off-season.
It was an especially slow start to the coaching carousel. We saw no head coaching changes until the firing of CD Mock in June. Far later than you'd expect. Essentially, young assistants have been hired/switched posts with few major names coming out.
The announcement of Minkel's retirement after next year is the next biggest movement. MSU and UNC both seem to have coaches in waiting. Coleman Scott was an assistant at UNC and Roger Chandler has been at MSU for 18 years. With these late changes being announced, we can only wonder if more changes will be coming,
