— By Justin Jackson, The Dominion Post

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Tim Flynn couldn’t wait to finish chewing his chocolate chip cookie before giving his answer.

That may be a sign of his eagerness to be the next wrestling coach at WVU.

“Funding,” he said Wednesday, during a meet-and-greet at the WVU Coliseum that introduced him as the Mountaineers ninth wrestling coach in school history.

Flynn’s deal with WVU is for four years, worth a base salary of $160,000 per year, plus an incentive package that includes a $30,000 bonus for a national championship, according to the deal he signed Tuesday.
