Duane knows better than anyone what it takes to wrestle at the very highest level. He will coach up his athletes in so many areas, on and off the mat. 

Colorado continues to make positive strides in the sport of wrestling and Duane will be a difference maker from day one."

"Duane Goldman was one of the best college wrestlers of all time. A four-time NCAA finalist Duane was recognized for his tireless work ethic. It’s why I chose to work as his assistant coach at Indiana University. I trusted him. I’m grateful for Duane and the opportunity he gave me in 1992. His belief in me as a young person jump started my coaching career.”
