I know of at least two others and there are possibly more. I am not sure what are the native states of the current head coahes at Neosho, Labette, Newman, Colby and NWKTC. It would not surprise me if of one or more of those five schools are Kansas natives.
Josh Carroll Head Coach of Pratt Community College wrestled at Olathe North.
Chas Thompson Head Coach of Fort Hays State per their website wrestled at Parson HS and was a native of Parsons, KS.
I want to see young Kansas natives become head college coaches if that is their goal. I am glad that several of our Kansas colleges and universities do have current Kansas natives as head and assistant wrestling coaches. However I also want to see all these Kansas colleges and universities with wrestling programs succeed too. I only want to see our Kansas colleges and universities hire a Kansas native for the head coaching position if they believe he is the best person available for the job. If these schools have successful wrestling programs we will have more young Kansas athletes wrestling in Kansas colleges and universities in the long run.
Benedictine College may decide that a Kansas native is the best person to become their first head wrestling coach and that would be great as far as I am concerned. I just believe that it is their right to choose the best person for the position for matter what they are from.
There are 5 Kansas natives who are coaches at a Kansas institution. All of them are Kansas State Champions.
