My opinion is yes he would take, will not be offered

While I don't think Dresser would move the hawk needle, I think if offered you almost have to take it as a former. He might be more in the twilight of his coaching career and I don't think there is much of a chance they offer. It's still the biggest stage (Carver) imo, best facilities or close, rabid and supportive fanbase. I think you would be more likely to see Schwab, DSJ, or Metcalf as others have stated. I actually don't think they replace Brands (yet)...they don't want a Penn State football debacle where they thought any big name would leave and fire a guy before having someone pretty set (like when they actually thought someone would leave Bama for PSU). They struck out on literally 12 coaches but ended up with the guy who should've been in the top 3 anyway, so they got fortunate. They won't fire Brands imo unless they get a big shake up name...ie Burroughs, Dake, Askren, guys that don't want to coach or might not be healthy enough at the moment. ** Edited by VTwinsdad at 2/23/2026, 12:23:04 PM

Metcalf seems like the logical choice. Big-name wrestler from the family.

Would Coach Dresser switch sides and go back to his alma mater?

I think he's too old to be a candidate

I don’t think they replace. Brands either **

I think he's burned too many bridges on that side for any realistic shot

I've enjoyed hating on Iowa over the years

Iowa being down also helps us out when it comes to PA recruiting **

Metcalf/DSJ coming over from ISU wouldn't be shocking
donjfs3 02/22/26 08:33 PM ET
Metcalfe, Schwab maybe **

Didn't think of Schwab - he would be 1A **
donjfs3 02/22/26 08:33 PM ET
He’s done really well at developing guys who aren’t blue chippers **
emhokie 02/22/26 09:14 PM ET
Also, he has Hokie ties.**
