More Coaching Changes in the Pac-12

Seems that the deck is being shuffled at the coaching level in the Pac-12 during the off-season.

OSU's Volunteer Assistant Coach, Devin Mellon has returned to his roots, taking on a similar position at his alma mater - Missouri. Intermat has an article where you can read more about Devin's move back home. He left the day before the Wrestling Banquet, so we didn't get a chance to thank him for his enthusiasm and service.

The most recent change was the move of Mike Mendoza from Cal State Bakersfield to the head coach position at Boise State, taking Greg Randall's place. (Taylor Meeks was the interim head coach. No mention was made of Taylor in the article about Mendoza by Intermat.)

These coaching moves join the ones already underway. Cal Poly's coach, Brendan Buckley, left for New York earlier this year. He was replaced by Jon Sieoredas, previously coach at Grand Canyon. You can read Cal Poly's article here.  Our own Coach Troy Steiner has left to restart the Fresno program. Fresno has an article about his introduction.

A big "Thank You!" to Craig Scharer, FALL Board member, who provided me with the leads and the links to these stories!!

One note about these emails. Mail Chimp, the delivery system, has been warning that some of the email providers are taking more measures to prevent spamming. If gmail decides to join in, my ability to send emails will be curtailed again!

While I don't send out a lot of email in the summer, there are usually a few. So if you have not heard from me for a while, you may want to check The FALL's blogsite to see if any thing new has been put up. I will continue to update the blogsite, whether or not I am able to send emails, as long as I have news to share. Be sure to bookmark the blogsite so that you don't have to go hunting for it.

I can still be reached at this same email address, and will be happy to answer any questions.

Go Beavs!
