He built the program at OSU. He played football and ran track in college and did not wrestle because there was no wrestling at OSU until he built the program after he graduated.

I bet you anything he learned from someone, no way sahpe or form, did he just magically start teaching a double leg and all the counters and all the other moves. He had to learn from someone. Are you also implying that because you showed me one example, I should believe you? Is Richard D. Salyer the next Ed Gallagher? Give me a break.

There are a lot of great coaches that don't make some great kid's state champions including there own kids and Salyer's kids must know how to wrestle. How else could one of them be a regional runner-up in a MIGHTY 4A regional tournament?

He qualified one year, coming from this god of knowledge you'd think would have qualified more than one occasion.

We now see that some of you, but I will not name you, are not only mean spirited but dead wrong.

Go ahead and name me, Alex Ryan, go ahead. I will stand by my belief that not only was he not correct in some statements, he's nothing more than a spectator or table worker a kid's State Tournment.

From a very reliable source, and respected I may add, Several of you know this person well and have seen his work. "From what I've been told around here, Richard NEVER wrestled in Kids, JH or HS. He's never coached or reffed.
Simply sat in the stands and criticized..."

Sounds like the kind of guy I'd want teaching me and my teammates. He could have my coaches job if he wanted it, no matter what. Sounds like a real nice guy who's very full of himself.
