FISK and Rutgers head coaching positions are also open, TBD if Interim Head Coaches will be appointed or a search will begin.

Ryan Snider quit Iowa State to pursue other opportunities. I know a lot of future recruits who really liked him.

Oh that is INTERESTING

His wife is the former head coach of Pitt so wonder where they will go.

Maybe Illinois?

And it seems messy too. Having the newly designated associate head coach leave after 1 season in that role, along with having visibly off interactions on air in the last meet…

I wasn’t sure “boot camp” over the summer was going to be the cure for Iowa State, but it wasn’t to be argued against based on last season’s results. That was Ryan’s project. I think if Ashley stays, there’s going to be another new look for the team.
