Caels new salary
- Thread starter gocy444
- Start date
My guess would be a longevity type annuity, paid out if he remains for a certain period of time. We did this with a Hockey Coach at UND a few years back, from a prominent booster.
I would also guess his salary base will only be what Cael has stated 10% better, but with a attractive type incentive program.
I agree with that. Cael won 4 national championships, went undefeated as a Cyclone......I would think that would create some pull as well.
You'd think it would, yeah. I agree with Jon, something doesn't smell right. Cael is going to have much tougher go of it at Penn State than he would have had in Ames.
ISU was/is arguably the top wrestling school in the Big 12, wheeras Iowa is unquestionably the best in the Big 10, and Penn State is one of the bottom feeders.
Maybe Cael is trying to prove something to himself. Maybe he likes the Yeungling.
I wrote my story at 4 p.m., then checked his blog and he had it was posted. I was wondering when other people would see it. I check his blog twice a day, usually.
He says 'less than 10' percent for the increase, so I don't know what that means. And he emphasized that Penn State is a sleeping giant. He wrote GIANT, actually.
It also bears mentioning that Penn State's wrestling budget was roughly three times bigger than ISU's for 07-08, as reported by Iowa State Greenlee School of Journalism graduate Tommy Birch, Keeler and the Register.

So, what exactly has that budget gotten them in the past few years in terms of wrestling?
If me and the wife ever move back to N. Carolina, the availability of Yeungling will play a prominent role.
For some reason, PSU gets away with not telling the public. JoePA's salary was confidential for the first 10 years of his contract, or so I'm told.
So, where are those folks that beat the "he did it for the money" and "it's what's best for his family" now?
Clearly it's not for the cash. And I can't see how relocating his family for a 10% raise is what's best for them.
Cael also refuted what was said in the ISU presser, that he felt it was easier to win a title at PSU, noting historical facts.
What gives? Did Cael not like JP? Vice versa? Was Cael tired of being a Cyclone? Did he dislike coaching in the Big 12?

As far as I understand it Penn State does not disclose coaching salaries.
This was discussed til many on ESPN were red in the face when Big11 football coaching salaries were released and JoePa's was not on the list
Edit: Nevermind, someone else pointed that out
No, Pennsylvania enacted their "Right to Know" law at the beginning of 2009, requiring Penn State to make public the top 25 salaries of the university, not including officers and directors.
So, if Cael is indeed making the "big bucks" as many on this board continue to believe, it has to be released by May 30.
BTW, JoePa's salary has also been made public.
Either way, they are only going to report his base salary, as paid by PSU, which is "less than a 10% increase" from what we were paying. He would not openly lie about that number just so he could be proven wrong. They will not report all of the outside money that he will get from this deal, and probably not the signing bonus. So whatever number we are told, isnt going to say much in the way of an answer either way.
No, I could not. But Tarheel added the big caveat.
If he were leaving for the mecca of his profession, that is one thing. But he is not. In terms of history and tradition, he is taking a lesser position, IMO...one that has a lot of upside. Perhaps he is wired to build his own legacy...blaze his own trail, I just don't know.
This might be the best/most intelligent post by you since I've been on this board. Well put... although, I still think there is a ton of money coming at him... some how or another(signing bonus, incentives, etc.) Which makes him a sellout still.
Aren't you easily swayed. A poster comes on here and states he has a credible source that says Cael isn't getting the money and provides nothing to support it. You take it as fact so it supports your JP is satan argument.
We still don't know anything. Show me a link that gives salary plus private donations to support his salary?
