I'm delighted to be back in coaching. Our goal is to put Iowa wrestling back on top, and I want to do everything I can to make it happen.

Wrestling has been a way of life with me day in and day out. I won't get too far away from it. I might walk through the wrestling room once a week. I could go every day if I wanted. But just walk through, make sure it's still there.

I can take anyone down at anytime; they can't take me down; no one can ride or turn me; I can control anyone.

I don't think college wrestling is in danger of extinction by any means. But I am concerned if one program drops.

I’m a big believer in starting with high standards and raising them. We make progress only when we push ourselves to the highest level. If we don’t progress, we backslide into bad habits, laziness and poor attitude.

My wrestling and family go together. It's always been that way, from day one with my mom and dad, my sister, my wife, four daughters, grandsons, son-in-laws.

You don't really measure the year until the whole year is done. I'm sure there are some concerned people, including the coaches right now.
