A vote was to take place on Tuesday regarding the appointment of QW to the position of head wrestling coach of the Tyrone Golden Eagles. Any word?
Did Q get the job?
- Thread starter LorenzoFan
- Start date
I hope Q bot the job!
For all you old timers, who coached Tyrone and later became an outstanding college coach that had his share of national champs?
Not related to Q, Tyrone, or PA wrestling in any way really, but a fun trivia question. What future Hall of Fame coach in another sport got his start coaching high school wrestling in Iowa, and despite not wrestling himself and learning wrestling from a book led his team to an Iowa state title his last season as a wrestling coach before switching sports?
One of his champs coached my HS to its most recent PIAA tournament title.
Barton at Clearfield?
More obvious guess is Northampton and Rohn. I am not sure if Northampton has won one since Rohn stopped being the head coach.
Barton is right (1986). One of his 3 PIAA champs that year was Scott Collins, who won an NCAA title in 1991 for WVU and later coached at Clearfield for a while.
Adoph Rupp. Allie Morrison was on that team he coached in Mtown. First Olympic Gold medal for an Iowa native. Wrestled for the University of Illinois.
Haha, it wouldn't surprise me, but not who I had in mind. My wife's aunt from Marshalltown, Iowa, was telling me how her uncle (my wife's great-uncle) was a really good lightweight wrestler. I was trying to find some information about him and ran across an item about Marshalltown High's 1926 state championship wrestling team being coached by a guy named Adolph Rupp. I thought it might just be someone with the same name, but confirmed it was indeed the future Kentucky basketball coach. He left Marshalltown after that season to coach high school basketball before taking over at Kentucky a few years later.
Now is the Wright time for Tyrone coach

Now is the Wright time for Tyrone coach
When the Tyrone head wrestling positioned opened up five years ago, Quentin Wright thought about applying for the job. But in the end, the Bald Eagle Area and Penn State great decided not to. Terry Tate ended up getting the job. “I love coaching kids,” he said, “but it just wasn’t at the right time […]
Imagine being a non-wrestling person and getting Q’s resume and then reading the other ones. The interesting part is he has a personality and attitude that wouldn’t be on paper but may be his best quality.Now is the Wright time for Tyrone coach

According to article he works and lives in Tyrone..
He works in Philipsburg, he lives in Tyrone which is where his wife went to school.
Q’s high-tech spy gadgets are also a strong asset!

My guess is that the school board did not really look at his Wrestling credentials but it was family friend (on the wife's side) Spyker whose reference/recommended put him over the top.
Q and Brad Pataky coaching 30 min apart ... scoreboard operators need to start training now, so they don't gas during the season.
Can the russians hack that?Good for Quentin! (and PSU)
Thank you .. figured he wanted to coach his son. Then go on to PSU and become the next 4xAA multiple year National Champ Hodge winner : ) Quality parents raise quality kids!
