It is too bad some Cyclone fans haven't transferred to another school.
Capello Transfering...
- Thread starter RedlineSi
- Start date
Yeah, what a terrible representative of his son and family.
I agree, if that constitutes having and "axe to grind", then you have mighty thin skin.
For selfish reasons, I wish he would have stayed. He is a high character kid and you can never have too many of them around. I hope he feels like he got a fair shake.
I never saw anything negative, nor did I see any axes being grinded, but hey, it's a message board and people will read posts how they will. I wish them good luck. He wants a better opportunity to start and I can't fault a kid for that. I'll always credit the kids who stick it out and play for the love of the game, with no shot at starting, but in the end, I don't understand not playing. It's probably the last chance to put on the pads for 99% of these kids, I say play where you can.
The only thing negative I see at all in this is that ISU was not chosen for the school and the environment. It was chosen mainly as a good chance to play. One thing about ISU is that if you don't love it as a whole, you might as well move on. (this is really for any school you choose) Football shouldn't be the only reason you chose a school to attend. It's also a place to get an education.
Good Luck to him and his family.

I could see this one coming since he committed. He was a very late pickup in Rhoads first class, after we wiffed on some other QBs, and he didn't have any other D1 offers. We took a chance, added some depth at the position... best of luck to him, hope he kicks butt at whatever level Tiffin is.
yea i did... thought it might of been so obvious I didnt need it....I assume you forgot the
I think there's a little bit of a difference between being overzealous in the defense of your son (which this appears to be the case) and being a flat out doucher.
Great post. I'd be sending rep but apparently I've fired too much your way already.
I have no problem with him being overzealous of his son... He's a parent... But to air it out on a fan messageboard is silly.
The parent wants their kid to play. The fan wants the best guy to play so the team can win. Not exactly the same goals, IMO.

He said his Kid was going to work his butt off and his son expected to be the man next year. I guess he should have said "Don't follow your dreams son. I don't support you. You can't do it"
I have no idea if Papa Capello is a ****** or not in real life, but it does seem that he lacked some common sense with SOME of his posts to the site. Do we all occassionally post stupid or short-sighted comments on the team or players? Yea, but none of us really have a dog in the fight other than wanting the clones to do well. Pretty sure that if you're openly the parent of a current player the best course of action is to keep your mouth shut and support your kid in the privacy of your own home.
I think that you are off base. Every parent wants their kid to start. And most are biased toward their kid. What's wrong with that? I don't see that as having an axe to grind. I don't think that Capello's dad came on here with an agenda, although it does have to be tough seeing a bunch of armchair QBs tossing out opinions about your kid without knowing anything behind the scenes.
I'm sad to see Capello go. Everything I heard about him was that he might not look pretty or have the strongest arm, but he just moves the chains. A QB like that can sometimes rise above the rest if other guys are struggling with accuracy or turnovers. I think that he got a legitimate shot this spring and he wasn't out of it for the fall. That's actually pretty impressive for a RS Soph who was a late signee for a newly hired staff. Those commits hardly ever play or compete for spots. Good luck to James in Ohio.
Wow...I don't see anything wrong with the link or the post you quoted. The guy is proud of his son, mentions he works his *** off, and that he thinks his son has that baility to play. he doesn't degrade Cyclone fans, or staff. doesn't ***** about anything. Evene after cyclone fans repeatedly say his son has absolutely no shot.
I actually thought the guy went ou of his way to be nice.

- I still haven't seen an example of him being overzealous
- How in the hell do you know that Capello couldn't be the best QB?
I wonder if his little brother also has the opportunity at Tiffin?
Best of luck to the Capello family. I am glad that they were brave enough to post on here and I don't hold anything against them. The only time Tom spoke out negatively was after a long thread bashing his kid which he couldn't take anymore. I might do the same in defense of my sons.
