WrestlingRash Posted July 10, 2024 Posted July 10, 2024 Cael just turned 45. Gable retired at 48. I wonder if Cunningham is staying at PSU despite offers to be a head coach because he knows that Cael is on the backend of his career. What else does he have to prove? I have to think he's got enough cash stacked up to enjoy the next 50 years of his life and to set his progeny up pretty nicely. When will he call it quits?
Hammerlock3 Posted July 11, 2024 Posted July 11, 2024 This has to be his calling unfortunately. I don't think he'd be as effective coaching at a lower or higher level. He's where he belongs. 1 "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."
11986 Posted July 11, 2024 Posted July 11, 2024 Gable won 15 titles. Cael's at 11. I think he'll try to get to 16 before he thinks seriously about hanging it up. 1
Hammerlock3 Posted July 11, 2024 Posted July 11, 2024 How old are his kids? "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."
Jimmy Cinnabon Posted July 11, 2024 Posted July 11, 2024 I could see Cael hanging it up early. I say he coaches until 50. Then Spencer Lee takes over.

KLCarnegieTech_1969 Posted July 11, 2024 Posted July 11, 2024 If Penn State wants to fill Cael's shoes after retirement, they are going to choose the most accomplished wrestler, with the most pedigree and ability to recruit athletes. This person could still be in college or competing for an Olympic medal this summer. Cael's calm demeanor and dignified approached may never be matched. I think when he retires, the playing field will be leveled a bit.
