I am sorry with the record that Cael had for Iowa State 3 big 12 championships (someone tell me when Iowa State had that before). If he would have been here a little bit longer a NAtional championship would have been here at Iowa State. I am sorry we let something real good go by.
How do you know he would have won a NCAA title? In three seasons he hasnt came close. Sure they win the Big 12 title and quilify 10 but they fell flat at Nationals. They fell flat vs Iowa. He has coached 3 or 4 individual NCAA champs. Brands won twice in Iowa in the same span. Big meets are a lot about the mental side and being agressive something Cales teams lacked. I questioned those things we he was coach and still do.
Good blog Jon.
For the kind of once in a lifetime money do you really blame him for going. Put yourself in his shoes. No instate rival you have to go against, no big name coach in the state, lots of talent in the area, and he is getting paid.
