I'm sure that very few of you noticed that our highly touted coach, Rob Koll, who we hired from Cornell has already departed after two years. It was rumored that he was looking around last year. When the head coach vacancy at UNC opened up, his alma mater, he was gone. He was a national champion at UNC. All is not well for him back at Chapel Hill. He was interviewed after his hire by the Daily Tar Heel and here's what transpired.
"A week after Rob Koll was named the new head coach of the North Carolina wrestling team in August, the UNC alumnus and acclaimed coach was a guest on a podcast where the host asked him an open-ended question about what made Chapel Hill "so great."
“Well, first of all, it’s 60 percent women for God’s sakes,” Koll said on The Bader Show, a show on FloWrestling.
“And 95 percent of them are attractive," he continued. "It’s just a really neat little campus for young 18- to 22-year-old men. I mean, good Lord, why would you not want to go there?”
Koll went on to tell a story about visiting Chapel Hill a week prior, coincidentally during what he called a “sorority weekend.” He said it was “95 percent girls” and said he wondered why UNC wasn't holding athletic recruiting events that weekend."
Replacing Koll is Chris Ayres. We reached into the Ivy League again as Coach Ayres was the HC for Princeton the last 17 years and was coach of the year 4 times.
For those interested, the wrestling team is sponsoring a golf tournament at Stanford GC. It's a four person scramble on November 3rd at 1:00 PM. Stanford Wrestling Golf Tournament
The annual outdoor match will be against Duke at 4 PM on Nov. 4th. Usually the wrestling match precedes the football game, but this year, we're playing at WSU. Hope the weather is decent!
