Barry Davis Resigns at Wisconsin
- Thread starter FoxRU
- Start date
Hope Donny stays. Can't blame him if he returns to the school where he won 2 national titles. Donny does not seem to be a guy that is motivated by money. Of course, it would be difficult to turn down a big raise. Don't see Wisconsin spending a lot of money for a wrestling coach.
I have heard nothing but great things about Donny. I hope he is happy back home in NJ, happy at RU and stays for a long time.
Donny was a two-time NCAA champ at Wisky and Assistant coach for 7 I think. Wife is from there I think. He left because he thought he was getting the head job and Davis said he was staying as head guy. Tough call here. I know they love it here but who knows.
Well Wednesday they'll get a reminder of what Wisconsin's like 8 months out of the year. It's imperative we keep Donny. A friendly reminder of that fact might be helpful Bill.:)
How much is Donny making here? Anyone know? We need to keep him. If Wisconsin won't pay big, we should pay what we have to. I am astounded at how little these guys make compared to their counterparts in other sports. Especially at the schools where wrestling is making revenue.
I thought we were paying him a fair sum. Basically paying as much as many schools would pay an HC.
that's not a lot. the living cost in nj is so much higher than in most of the country.
Donny isn't going to Wisc him and AD Barry Alvarez
don't get along at all.Alvarez won't interview Donny

I don't know if he is a candidate or not but if he were a candidate how could he possibly turn down that type of opportunity?
Barry Alvarez isn't the easiest guy to work for, and I think I remember there was a bit of bad feelings when Pritzlaf left Wisconsin .
What is he doing in bed during the morning, he should be coaching and recruiting [winking]!
The twitter-verse is floating Ben Askren for the job. That would be huge for the sport.
I have to believe Hobbs will find a way to keep him in NJ and at Rutgers. I am sure there are some very good opportunities for ancillary income such as camps or simply a decent raise. The need to keep him here is obvious. A classic example and case for keeping a NJ bred person at home.
Let's keep him here because he is doing a great job. Provincial thinking in hiring and recruiting by Rutgers has killed our athletic programs for decades. Think of it ... decades, not years. Get the best possible coaches and athletes. Limiting ourselves to NJ folks, or focusing on NJ folks first, is self-defeating.
