#85 How Rob Koll Built a Wrestling Dynasty With No Money | Rob Koll
Descripción del Episodio
Rob Koll is one of the winningest coaches in college wrestling history, and he lived inside the Foxcatcher mansion with John du Pont before the murder that shocked the sport. In this one, he told me things I've never heard him say publicly: the gunshots in the walls, why he finally left, and how he built a dynasty at a school that gave zero scholarships. This might be the most open conversation I've ever had on the show.
