I agree that they are glorified scrimmages.
All college coaches are mentors to young men. Some better than others.
Well he would check all the boxes of someone no one would guess, good coach, might not be a fit.
What is your problem? This guy is coaching his heart out for the university that he has dedicated his professional life to. IMO, he is doing a good job right now and there is a decent chance he is the guy. I know recruits are leaving but he is a lame duck right now because he cannot tell anyone he is going to be the coach.

Joe does not need vindication.
Right and wrong is not determined by a poll.
I try and stay out of this argument but the past is the past. Paterno was a great coach and a flawed man. Some people think he was railroaded others don’t. Nothing is going to change that. The whole fight between both sides gets tiresome. Time to focus on the future. Yesterday is gone we can’t get it back. College football has changed dramatically and is so far removed from the days of Joe that it’s apples and oranges.
Perhaps not...but it would be nice to see those who wronged him get their just desserts.
This reminds me of the "move on" comments from certain persons years ago. I don't think it's right for people to get away with destroying an innocent person in the heat of the moment, and I think that is what the BOT did at the time. If we focus on the future by throwing away or ignoring the past, we lose who and what we are. I don't expect any new coach to run things the way Joe did, but I would hope that the new coach would understand what it means to be a Penn Stater, especially "success with honor."
Alabama has embraced Bear Bryant. My son recently attended a college fair. He was given an Alabama pen, and guess what, it had a houndstooth pattern. Imagine if Penn State passed out any swag with affiliation to Paterno. Many posters, like you, would be apoplectic.
All men in history, except one, are flawed.
As a Franco said, we must continue fighting this good fight…for the sake of the soul of PSU.
No...stop making him out to be something he's not and I'll stop asking valid questions like what is his record in WPIAL title games. We know he's not capable of winning big games and he showed that against Indiana.
I’m not going to read that because I don’t care enough too. Anyone who makes use of the word apoplectic doesn’t need lectured on the fundamental differences between how Bryant and Paterno ended their careers and why one has a nice pen and one doesn’t.
I don't see the relevance in what he did as a hs coach eons ago. What he has done as a PSU coach and recruiter carries much more weight.
When did that happen ? He’s certainly considering to ask n
The Part about rumors is simply false.
It shows his inability to close games--then he worked under Franklin and Rhule who--can't close games
I would think he may have learned a few things along the way. He was able to make some changes to improve things that Franklin wasn't able to figure out. He may or may not be the answer but don't hold mistakes against him from decades before.
The fired coaches on the other teams are still unemployed with no prospect for employment at another legitimate program. Big difference.
Well did you know that he never won a Pop Warner championship? Or that his wife always beats him in gin rummy? Or that he routinely overcooks his eggs? The guy is a loser.
what happened overnight? Yeah we have a photo finish between Deboer, Sitake, Rile (?), and Smith.
No, but I do get to see stupid people trying to trigger their dog into playing all the time.. Its the most hilarious thing to see people throw a ball, the dog look at me with the WTF expression, and then have the dumb *** run to retrieve the ball and try it again. It becomes an inside joke for me and the dog.
What the hell would you know about dog behavior? Everybody on here is an expert at everything, it’s ridiculous.
You realize this is pure garbage site, right?
Prey drive (chase, capture, kill) is genetically coded, and is the drive most commonly used to train a working dog. Absent this drive many dogs give owners fits because owners want to play with their dogs and the dogs do not engage. Its entertaining.
