AgaveMaria Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 Dan Gable to Iowa. Cael Sanderson to Penn State. David Taylor to Oklahoma State. Any others in the running as the biggest betrayal to the University they wrestled for? I know, Taylor is a bit of a stretch but he is so linked to Penn State from College to International Titles I included him. Might have had Brands in here but they ended up back in Iowa. ” Never attribute to inspiration that which can be adequately explained by delusion”.

juniorvarsity Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Iowa State staff made up of Hawkeyew. But who cares, right? If you want to coach, then your potential coaching career will have passed by if you wait to take over where you graduated. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Face of the program and of wrestling at large at that time going to the in state rival. Not really a rival, though? I don't think Iowa was very good. Has to be the man they used to call "Bail Sanderson" going to PSU after his mentor was pushed out of the ISU job. I understand why he did it, and it has worked out.... but he went from the top job at a historically significant program to come to PSU. None of these other guys left head coaching positions that were gifted to them. Edited September 23 by Interviewed_at_Weehawken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletcher Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 As I recall, ISU didn't have a spot for Gable, so no betrayal. Same with Brands - got passed over for the HC spot for Zalesky. Cael was a different story - pushed out Bobby Douglas, left for better recruiting grounds and cash, and took his ISU recruits with him. That's a true dagger in the back. Cael is better than everyone else at everything and that includes betrayal. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a true dagger in the back. Cael is better than everyone else at everything and that includes betrayal. Another way to look at is that ISU's biggest lesson to Cael was the importance of beating Iowa. When he realized ISU couldn't draw the recruits needed to do the job, like a good alumnus he dutifully went somewhere where he could do the job. And presto! Now the good folks in Ames don't need to hear all that pompous boasting from across the state in Iowa City, since one of their alumni ate their lunch. Maybe they should thank Cael, as any defeat of Iowa is, on some level, a win for ISU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisa morales Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Not a headliner but Cory Cooperman put a dagger in Greg Strobel and Lehigh when he went to Cornell and stole Mike Grey as part of a package "coach/wrestler" deal. Cooperman will always have to live with that betrayal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
