University of Northern Iowa Director of Athletics Troy Dannen announced today that Panther head wrestling coach Brad Penrith will not be retained following the 2009-2010 season.
"I would like to thank Brad for his service to the University and the student-athletes in our wrestling program," Dannen said. "Brad has carried himself with class and dignity throughout his career. But I believe now is the time for a change in leadership as we seek to achieve the competitive goals we have for wrestling at the University of Northern Iowa."
Penrith compiled a dual mark of 90-75-4 in 10 years as the Panther head coach. This past season, UNI was 10-12 in dual action and tallied a 40th place finish (9.5 team points) at the NCAA Championships, its lowest finish since 1997.
A national search will begin immediately to fill the position.
