OU just fired our wrestling coach (Mark Cody) because of a lack of performance by our team, and we had multiple kids want to transfer out, including a returning All-American and one of the best 125 pounders in the nation. What made that puzzling to me is that the guy we hired to replace Coach Cody is the hottest and most sought after coach in the business, and one that specifically is known to be one of the very best for developing kids at the lower weights where this one kid is.
Why not wait to see who gets hired before transferring out? What if who's replacing a current coach is actually better for you than the coach you're transferring to? I get that there are a million reasons why kids transfer and who the head coach is is just one of those reasons. But why not wait until you have all the info before you make a decision?
