I find it ironic that several of you are attacking Bono for lack of loyalty when we live in a country that averages a job change every 4.2 years (Bureau of Labor Statistics). The same people would have called him foolish if he had not looked into and accepted a premier position in college wrestling. :|

Quoting limited to 4 levels deepHe also told a room full of SDSU recruits last year that he wasn't going anywhere when asked about his potential for leaving. I heard him say it during our recruit visit. He responded adamantly, "I'm not going anywhere!"
I understand people being upset that he left...he did a great job at SDSU.....but come on....which one of you dont/ didnt have career goals which you sought out. This is a part of life abd I would never blame a guy for choosing to better himself and his family.....be disappointed....but respect and support his decision.
Exactly, the kind of coach that would be excited to have a long term career at SDSU, is not the type of coach that can deliver national success to SDSU.

It's the nature of the beast and a double edged sword.

He is required to say those types of things and it is a gamble for a high level recruit to sign with a small program.

While on the official visit sitting in Bono's living room I asked both Chris and Jon about last years Pitt interview and if he/they planned on staying if other opportunities came up. They said all the right things. Today Alex and I had a conversation about his feelings about that day and how he feels now. What I can tell you is we both understand and hold nothing against Chris or Jon. Nothing but love and respect for both men. A great opportunity still awaits Alex at SDSU. They will get the right guy in there, bet on it.
Bono has set up a program that shouldn't skip a beat with the right replacement.

Congrats, Hahn will be a great coach and mentor for Alex. While most of us Gopher fans would have loved to have seen Alex and Peyton in maroon and gold, I'm happy they get a good guy like Hahn to continue what Bono started. Best of luck!

Other than the other candidates that didn’t get the job probably.

Excited to see how he fills out his staff.

I know nothing about this area or college. What's it like out there?

Am I wrong in thinking who the Heck would want to spend 4 to 5 years of their life in South Dakota? I spent one day at my grandpas in South Dakota and never went back 😂

Well Sdsu is a place you can go anywhere from... Brookings is a hop skip and 2 jumps from Sioux Falls and a Marty Morgan stone throw from Minnesota... and as for South Dakota, well, it’s best known as Gods country

One would assume if he wanted to be an assistant, he would be one at Cornell.

I reached out to a couple of people and involving Dake is supposedly in the works. Doesn't really surprise me a great deal since Hahn is the man who built Dake in a lot of ways. I guess the RTC they're trying to build may have a lot to do with it. Hope they can get that done. If they do, Sell (the AD) should get a raise.

Wouldn’t bother me a bit.

Another thought is Minnesota current/potential staff is not beyond poaching. Hahn is a huge personality & wrestling figure - bigger than Bono.

I lived there for about three years and I liked it a lot. It's a very strong community and by far the most wrestling-friendly place I've ever been. There are more wrestlers per-capita in SoDak than anywhere in the country. There are times when you have to drive to Sioux Falls to do certain things but it's less than a hour away at 80 mph on the highway.

I know that the administration is willing to pump money into the program, but I'm not sure if they'll have Kyle Dake / Jayson Ness kinds of money.

What about Nahshon Garrett as a member of the staff? Might be hard to recruit him to Brookings, but has ties to Hahn and could be lured about the chance to work with Seth Gross everyday.

Any chance he keeps Caldwell on the staff? Or does Cody's tenure end after 1 season?
