Say it isn't so...

Casey would be a good choice but he is older than Cael so probably not going to happen.
Based on early success with M2 I would go with DT but recent grads Zain, Cenzo, Hall, Nickal, etal might turn out to be just as good.
I'd be shocked if Cael is done by 2030, he'll only be what, 50? Maybe if he surpasses Gable in the next decade, he'll go into an early retirement.
I think DT seems like the obvious choice but I'll throw Cenzo as my vote. I honestly think Cenzo would be a home run recruiter in addition to a great coach.

Casey with DT as first asst.,then DT follows Casey as head coach. There done until 2050. Next Topic Please!
Agree. Cael would turn 51 in 2030. I think 2040 or even 2045 would be more likely. I just don;t see Cael as someone who would retire at a young age.
There was that one photo a few weeks ago. It was DT , NOLF and two others in the room. I could see all four of them coaching. DT , Retherford , Nickal, and nolf
I think, in relative order (I might call Nolf and Hall a tie):
DT
Nolf
Mark Hall
Retherford (Zain might be *too* intense, lol)
Nickal
DT
Nolf
Mark Hall
Retherford (Zain might be *too* intense, lol)
Nickal
Yeah. Does anyone have the link to the old thread? I’d love to reread it. The topic is interesting.
Then Casey's son takes over. World domination extended till the 22nd century.Casey with DT as first asst.,then DT follows Casey as head coach. There done until 2050. Next Topic Please!
Will Cael reach a point where he no longer rolls around with the guys? Can't think of another sport where the coaches actually take part themselves in practice. So maybe Cael reaches a point where he has aches and paints enough to stop getting on the mat himself?
Don't know about how long Cael goes, but David Taylor is my first choice to succeed him; great wrestler, relates well, can be a terrific recruiter. And loves Penn State.
While this is true, some of the older coaches in the sport do take more of a GM role, I think dresser has admitted this and a few others. Plus Cael will always have some young guys in the club or on staff to roll around. Wrestling is unique in this way though, can’t think of another sport where part of your job is physically practicing against your team, and also while getting hired, a wrestling coaches accomplishments as a competitor seem to matter more than in other sports
I've always surmised that Cael's physical health is probably stronger than even other wrestling coaches simply because he hasn't had as many injury problems as others (e.g. Gable and his legs; he had a damn hip replacement at 48 for crying out loud).
Mark Hall is going to make one heck of a coach somewhere at some point. Zain strikes me as another guy that will make a great coach. Many recent guys look like potential coaches down the road. I picture Nick Lee coaching someday- he reminds me of Casey in a weird way.
Tom Brands is 51 currently
Didn't get the exact ages for the others, but approx.:
Tom Ryan 51
Barry Davis retired at approx. 56
Joe McFarland retired at approx. 56
The only other “sport” that came to mind for me is chess.
We’d have to stop making fun of Tom Ryan’s social media accounts because DTs can be just as cringeworthy
I do think it is even money Markie is an assistant on our squad soon, maybe as a volunteer at first
Good. Let them make their mistakes on someone else’s dime. Then, they can come back to PSU when it’s time.
There is one, and only one obvious choice for our next head coach:
SPYKER!
SPYKER!
I thought the tossing of little people has been deemed politically incorrect.
