Wow

I wonder if they have some boosters lined up to pay the freight on this guy. Firing Troy Snderland was very un-Penn State like. Then going after a super high profile/ expensive replacement (for wrestling anyway) is similarly very un-Penn State like.

I’ll be interested to see how this turns out.

I can't imagine this happening

For a wrestling coach, a move from Ames to State College would be a step down. The day a coach heads to State College due to a big contract will be the first. The AD always hires “Penn State people” because they will stay a long time and accept less money. This doesn’t fit.

If it does, this would be a huge and mostly positive break from the past.

Wow. Love this paragraph:

The reason I have chosen to take the opportunity to coach PSU is because Pennsylvania is consistently the top high school wrestling state in the country. PA also borders Ohio, NJ, and NY, three of the top ncaa wrestling all-American producing states in the country. Penn State is probably the most popular athletic department in the country. Penn State has more kids apply to school then any other school in the country. The potential is unbelievable. That is why I have decided to make the change at this time. Through a lot of prayer and discussion with my family I feel that I am supposed to go to Penn State.

But I’m biased towards tailgating, as you may imagine. -ts

The only shame is that he

didn’t come to the same conclusion his senior year in H.S. I guess it takes a litle longer for some people to figure out they are a Nittany Lion.
