I think he has to have a bit of essential angst concerning his job. The gambling thing must have been beyond frustrating, but Iowa never really got any momentum going this year even beyond that. Ayala in finals, Caliendo is pretty great, but hard to know what else he's supposed to feel good about.
Whether or not his job is getting shopped around doesn't change that he is almost certainly doing some soul searching.
From my perspective, it felt like I said, "He may do this on behalf of his legacy, ego and personal ambition," and got a bunch of people responding, "Yeah but he has a cow." I see what you're saying obviously all valid points.
Gable is way more critical than you think.
Taylor makes perfect sense. He has the reputation to recruit against Cael, and he's probably the only one, unless he wants to chase GOAT status and wrestles a whole cycle, he has enough hype to inspire donors...and Taylor is ambitious guy, whats he supposed to chase if not Cael?
I'd love that, for narrative reasons, but PSU has an interest in having a 5 time champ, and if they don't need the best guy in college I don't know what PSU is trying to do.
well he's probably going to demand a raise, so thats effectively hitting the portal. As far as what he says, the guy claims he doesn't care about anything until he's quitting and throwing tantrums.
yeah but then you're leaning into the arbitrary. You can pick the biggest match, don't you think there would be diminishing returns trying to rank all ten in terms of value?
