IOWA FIRES HEAD COACH, ENTIRE STAFF!

Okay, well, it was the wrestling staff. Not exactly the unemployment news many were expecting to hear.

However, given the downward trend in Zalesky’s performance (after winning national titles in his first three seasons, the Hawks didn’t even have a single national–or Big Ten–individual champ this season), you can hardly call it unexpected, either.

How would you like to have been Iowa AD Bob Bowlsby these last couple weeks? Cell-phone scandals, endless speculation about Steve Alford’s future, and having to fire Jim Zalesky? I’m guessing he could stand a couple days off right now.
