Following that triumph, Gable became arguably the most successful coach in wrestling history. His Iowa Hawkeye teams won 15 team,titles and 45 individual championships.

Gable retired as Iowa's head coach in 1997, but has stayed active with the program and the sport. He formed the Committee for the Preservation of Olympic Wrestling and led the charge for the sport's return to the Summer Games.
