Before Cal Poly, Sioredas spent two seasons as the head wrestling coach at Grand Canyon in Phoenix, Ariz. He was brought to GCU to guide the program through the transition from Division II to Division I. During this process, Sioredas helped build depth across all weights to the standards of a Division I championship program by signing a nationally ranked recruiting class and three top-100 recruits. He was also able to pick up dual meet victories over Division I programs and place three All-Americans at the National Collegiate Open with his predominantly freshmen team.
Sioredas was an assistant coach at Chattanooga for two seasons. UTC finished the 2013-14 dual season ranked in the national top 25, at one point reaching as high as No. 19. The Mocs also captured the regular-season conference title, the conference tournament title, and qualified five for the NCAA tournament in Oklahoma City, with two seeded in the top 10.
Prior to his two seasons in Chattanooga, Sioredas spent six seasons as an assistant coach at Old Dominion. He helped guide the Monarchs to the top 25 in dual meet rankings four of his six years, with four All-Americans and an NCAA finalist. ODU also had 10 NWCA All-Academic honors, as well as being named top 10 in the nation in grade-point average during his tenure.
During his 15 years of coaching — seven as a head coach and eight as an assistant — Sioredas has coached six top-25 teams, one NCAA Division I national finalist, six NCAA All-Americans, 47 national qualifiers, 12 Academic All-Americans and helped with seven top-25 recruiting classes.
An All-American while competing at Chattanooga, Sioredas finished fifth in the 165-pound weight class in the 2005 NCAA Division I Championships. He was a two-time Southern Conference champion and 2005 SoCon Wrestler of the Year and Tournament MVP.
