wrestlingshoe Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I am a neutral party when it comes to watching college wrestling, but have always enjoyed PSU since Cael. But the new arrogance and WWE bravado of some of their athletes is off putting. Especially this last dump Carter laid on the face of PSU/NLWC wrestling and one of the most decorated US wrestlers in history. He will probably will win 5 titles, but because of his continued comments will never reach the level of respect as a wrestler/coach as DT. David had a short stint on social media during the 2016 Cox Olympics, but that seems like an anomaly. Carter's antics seems more like a character flaw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s gotten coaching perspectives from two of the top programs with starkly different philosophies. I think that makes him well-rounded, and it’s easy to see he’s matured a lot. He would be an excellent pick up. Yup. How many other active coaches out there have both an Olympic medal AND a world title? Not many. Outside of Kevin Jackson and the Brands bros I can't think of any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carter does NOT work as a heel, no matter how hard he tries. I can't see any realistic future in which he is a coach with his generally b*tchy attitude either.

wrestlingshoe Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 The leadership on the PSU team is lacking integrity. I don't agree that Cael and Co shuttered when Cater accepted a 5th year NIL. The dynasty made it necessary to offer the kitchen skink to secure him and I'm sure Cale is fine with that. This new era of paid to play is a different beast.

How is that relevant to this situation at all? Carter was calling out DT for something the leader of his team did himself. While your information is correct it has no place in this conversation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the first truky public signs of any dissension amongst the Penn State guys, but, again, it's Carter, so it's possible it's all schtick. I get that, I’m just trying to follow along. I haven’t seen the $1.25 Million from anyone other than Minnow, so I’m a bit skeptical of that number. But he very clearly said he’s the “highest paid by a lot.” It seems there are multiple different guys rumored to have gotten around $500k, which would imply Carter is getting at least around $750K or so. So for his most recent statement to make any sense, he would’ve had to have gotten offered significantly more than that from somewhere else. I guess it’s possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pokemonster Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 3 hours ago, wrestlingshoe said: What he also doesn't understand, if his comment is directed at DT, is DT is playing at a different level now. This is his livelihood. This is his new profession and he is setting his family up for life at one of the storied programs. Should he wait for 10 years to see if Cale steps down and gives him the program. We see how that played out for CScott. And Guerrero... And Esposito... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mspart Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 For Cael, it was a good move. He went where there was seemingly better opportunity. DT is doing similar. He would be an assistant at PSU for a very long time. Now he is HC at a very prestigious wrestling university that was once great and could be great again. It will be exciting to see how DT can get this going. Did John Smith retire first or because of the DT hire? Personally, JS needed to move out. He was a great coach but like others before him, he just didn't have that same fire in the later years. No disrespect aimed at him at all, he is a great coach. I think he just held on a few years too long. For DT, it was the right amount of years obviously. It will be interesting to see how he does. I wish him the best of luck. mspart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is a legit cowboy legend. I get it coaches tend to age out. But this is one of the greatest us wrestlers of all time and great coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
