TJ didn't attend or coach at WSU, and (as far as I know) didn't call Rogers to recruit him, so seems like a rather different situation to me.
Cael Sanderson
- Thread starter dcypal
- Start date
My point is that coaches help recruit coaches everywhere. Sanderson left here 16 years ago and has won 12 national championships. I doubt he's still holding on to a lot of venom toward Iowa State. He wants his current school to make a good hire.
I already replied to this but in addition, this was definitely a coordinated effort by Pedo State to get Cael, NFL coach and governor to reach out out to him, several times (MCM said there were MULTIPLE texts). There was no coordinated effort by JP or TJ on JR to ISU.
And gave him his first head coaching job.
I can't stand Cael any more, and especially don't like Penn State, but to be fair, it was Campbell who showed up at Dresser's doorstep in Virginia to recruit Dresser away from V-Tech. That being said, Dresser was an Iowa native (Humbolt) and grew up as a Cyclone fan despite the fact that he wrestled for the Hoks.
F it, I love rolling with Dresser and Jimmy. Guys that want to be here and do more with less. Cheer for the coaches we have, don’t worry about the coaches we don’t
I’m so glad there are so many folk here that have regular beverages with Sanderson to know exactly how he feels. That’s a credit to you all for developing that relationship and spilling the beans to the rest of us.
South Dakota State University happened whether you choose to acknowledge it or not.
Heck, I still remember Hugo Otopalik…and yes, Cael was the BEST wrestler I’ve ever seen on the mat. Real wrestling fans will always remember who he is.
Not sure his opinion today, but he left probably harsher than any coach I’ve ever seen.
Glad you were there to see it. People leave. Doesn’t mean they’ve forever cut ties to Iowa State. Look at Gable. He’s been back wearing his ISU letter jacket for several events.
Why do you think we ended up KJ? If you don’t know that situation, you obviously don’t know how that process went down.
He's coming from Washington State, bear with me here but that's a different state from South Dakota.
I didn't know he still coached at PSU until...yesterday? Saturday?
Gable and Cael left under totally different circumstances
If we didn’t have the conference realignment missile crisis, I don’t think Cael leaves
Cael can suck a fat one. The dude has zero personality.
