    The 2024 Offseason Coaching Carousel (5/31/2024)

    Not only is the coaching carousel moving at a rapid pace with excellent positions available, there are also plenty of very experienced coaches who are looking for a new home. Those high-quality coaches should make for more movement as they assume some of the open positions below or take an opening that doesn’t appear to be vacant to the public eye. 

    This last week wasn’t quite as busy as others on the coaching front, but still there were some teams that made strong additions. At InterMat, we wrote about the hirings of Timmy McCall, Nate Jackson, and Gavin Hoffman

    One recent hire that may have snuck under the radar and isn’t “technically” a collegiate hire is Navy’s Wrestling Club bringing in Peyton Walsh to lead their program. Walsh was a longtime standout on the Greco-Roman scene and was an Olympic Trials runner-up in 2020(1) at 77 kg. He also was a Pan-American champion that same year and made the US Open finals in 2018. 

    Before hitting the Senior Greco circuit, Walsh wrestled at the Naval Academy and made the NCAA tournament on three occasions - the last time (2015) after winning an EIWA title. 

    As far as openings go, we learned this week that Drexel is looking to fill multiple vacancies. 

    There could be news soon regarding hires at Army West Point, Binghamton, George Mason, Stanford and perhaps more movement with the EIWA from additional schools. 

    Speaking of recent hires, this morning we posted an interview with Campbell’s new assistant coach TJ Dudley
