Well deserved! His success has been consistent; across the careers of many wrestlers, assistant coaches and even different conferences. The teams' recruiting has gotten better over the years as the success of his teams have made Mizzou a more attractive alternative.
Brian Smith recruits very good wrestlers, but typically they aren't the top tier recruits that go to Penn State and other historically great programs. But,... once those recruits arrive at Mizzou, Brian Smith and his coaching staff develops them into the best wrestlers and students they can be. Mizzou fans, as well as all wrestling fans should be proud of what Brian Smith has accomplished.
