CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga is replacing the 2005 Southern Conference Wrestling Coach of the Year with a five-time National Collegiate Coach of the Year and a nine-time NCAA National Championship coach.     Joe Seay (pronounced SEE) has accepted the position of Head Wrestling Coach at UTC, Athletics Director Steve Sloan announced Thursday.  Seay takes over the program from former Head Coach Terry Brands.  Brands resigned his position April 4 of this year to become the Resident Coach at the United States Olympic Training Center.     Seay, who currently resides in Earlysville, Va., directed Cal State-Bakersfield to seven NCAA Division II National Wrestling Championships and guided Oklahoma State to two Division I National titles.     Brands led the Mocs to the 2005 SoCon Championship and a 21st place finish at this year's NCAAs.     "Coach Seay is a world-class coach," Sloan said.  "He brings experience, expertise, connections and a life-long commitment to the sport of wrestling."     Seay's collegiate coaching career began in 1972 at Cal State-Bakersfield, and he compiled a 187-55-2 record from 1972-84.  He led the Roadrunners to NCAA Division II National titles in 1976, 1977, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982 and 1983.  He coached six Division I champions, 24 DII champions and 70 DII All-Americas and was a three-time NCAA DII Coach of the Year.     Seay, the only wrestling coach to win NCAA titles on both the Division I and II levels, moved on to the nationally-prominent program at Oklahoma State, earning a 114-18-2 coaching record from 1984-1992.  He took the Cowboys to National Championships in 1989 and 1990, won six consecutive Big 8 Conference Wrestling titles and earned NCAA DI Coach of the Year accolades twice.     "I am very excited about becoming the head coach at UTC," Seay said.  "Terry Brands did a very good job here.  He got the ball rolling, and we plan on taking it to a higher level.     "I have not been coaching at the university level for some time, and I'd like to finish up my career here.  I like UTC's commitment to the program.  We will do our very best to continue taking it to a higher level.  Every place that I have been a head coach, I have won a national title.  That is our goal here."     Seay has served as the head coach of the Sunkist Kids Wrestling Club since 1978 and has produced the National Freestyle Championship squad for 22 straight years.  He has been a USA Wrestling National staff member since 1984, served as the U.S. Olympic Head Coach in 1996 for the Gold Medal-winning team and has been selected to coach the 2005 USA Wrestling World Team which will compete at the end of September in Budapest, Hungary.     Interestingly, Seay coached Brands to the World Freestyle Championship in 1993 and 1995.     He worked as coach of the University of Oklahoma's Freestyle Club, the Underdog Wrestling Club, for six years, and as coach of the University of Virginia's Freestyle Club, the Charlottesville Wrestling Club, since 2003.     He is a member of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, the California Wrestling Hall of Fame and the Kansas Wrestling Hall of Fame.     Seay graduated from Wellington High School in Wellington, Kansas.  He earned a bachelor's degree in Physical Education and Biological Science in 1963 from Kansas State and a master's degree in 1964 from KSU in P.E. and School Administration.  He was a 20-year resident of Bakersfield, Calif.
