ALL THE CAEL BASHING GOING ON RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! :no:
Yes, he left ISU for PSU and nobody knows the reasoning behind it but himself and his family, but come on! Cael has been with the ISU program in one form or fashion since 1997 and it is now 2009! Did everybody on this site really think he was going to stay at ISU for the next 50 years? I didn't! I for one am in need of new scenery every now and then and leaving ISU for Cael was bound to happen sooner or later.
People are saying that he left for the money! Yes, he is getting paid more but in the grand scheme of things, he is not getting paid the early reported 500K a year that some have said.
Finally, people are stating they have lost respect for Cael b/c he is possibly taking some of his own recruits with him! All I have to say to that is it is the student/athletes final decision if they stay or go. Cael is not GOD and the wrestlers have a right to say no, they are staying at ISU. Also, welcome to the world of the NCAA, where coaches, at all levels, take recruits with them to their new locations.
It is in my opinion that Cael doesn't owe anything to ISU. He represented ISU with the utmost dignity and respect as a student/athlete and as a coach and for that I wish him all the luck in the world at PSU!!!!
GO CAEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
