Unfortunate news came out of Cedar Falls today as wrestling coach Jay Llewellyn was told by the school they wanted to go in a new direction.

Llewellyn just finished his ninth season as the Tigers’ coach, helping Michael Kelly win the 145-pound state title this past February.

He was a good guy and easy to work with on a professional level.

Switching gears – As far as the head coaching position at Iowa State I’m still hearing a lot of different rumors. The Terry Brands contact I got was solid, but it looks like, according to my source, Brands told the Cyclones he wasn’t interested.

Other names I’m still hearing frequently are Kevin Jackson, Greg Randall, Jim Gibbons and Chris Bono. I heard athletics director Jamie Pollard took a jet somewhere yesterday …. don’t know where.
