Facebook post on my feed (fake news planted by Russians?)

"8x State Champion and Hall of Fame wrestling coach Israel "Izzy" Martinez has resigned as the head coach of Montini Catholic High School. Montini is currently seeking a replacement".

Honestly do not know the whole story.
Izzy is a dynamic individual that could also be somewhat polarizing at times. My observation is that his kids would run through walls for him.
I view this as a sad day for wrestling in Illinois

Sad day, indeed. Izzy will be missed greatly here at Bronco Nation.

Izzy didnt need Montini, but they need him. Good luck wherever you go Israel. You will always be a champ!

Not only.a terrible day.for Bronco nation and Illinois But nationwide wrestling. He brought his teams to the top tournaments making them even stronger. It will be a daunting challenge for his replacement.

I think Nathan Dogg would be an excellent replacement. Most definitely will show his little brother a thing or two about coaching.

What? No it wasnt. That was a succession plan. This isn't like that at all.

ROFLMAO....ok man.

Besides, Nate Dogg seems to be settlling in over at IC

[lookleft goright]

I have to think Izzy will go somewhere else and coach. I doubt he is done.
I had to laugh at the original post
Izzy ...... COULD ALSO BE SOMEWHAT POLARIZING. Now that is an understatement. It will be interesting to see where he ends up and what happens with Montini.

Is that true though, Twist? Izzy was already a household name over in Bronco Nation.

Many did not think he would make it through the first year. Plan or not. I did his first two interviews and had I not edited them he might of been canned. But he made it 8 years so he showed them. Best of luck to Izzy. He will return. If he wants to.

Montini wouldn’t make the same mistake twice. Besides, they probably wouldn’t hire him because he’s not a practicing Catholic! 😂
