Has anyone else seen the letter circulating that was sent by members of the wrestling team to WPU President?
Condensed version:
Coach resigned on October 8
No effort to hire a replacement
Marlin Grahn volunteered to coach w/o compensation until they found a replacement. Grahn is in the Portland St HOF, long time well-respected coach.
WPU said no thanks and barred him from even entering building
The few kids that haven't quit yet are practicing on their own without coaches and traveling on their own dime if they want to wrestle.
End of December, WPU finally posts a press release saying the previous coach resigned in December and they'll now conduct a national search. He resigned in October.
They've cancelled 9 competitions so far and the NAIA season is just about finished.
What a mess. Feel for those kids. Zero accountability, zero support. A wasted year on the heels of a wasted COVID season.
