Message: [QUOTE="nwhoopfan, post: 3002024, member: 7894"] I haven't spoken to Rueck personally. This is just my opinion, but I have a really hard time seeing him leave Corvallis. Of course he could get more money elsewhere, more prestige, bigger facilities. That's entirely missing the point though. He loves Corvallis, he is beloved there, he's built an excellent program and he seems very contented. OSU is a bit different than most of the other Pac 12 schools, and some of the coaches they've drawn over the years embrace that difference. Pat Casey built the baseball team into a powerhouse. He had numerous overtures from bigger schools with deeper pockets. He was happy to stay at OSU. I see Rueck in a similar light. [/QUOTE]
