He deserves every bit of it. And it will come in handy when they run him out of town for losing games.

Don't see that happening. If they didn't have a losing season last year, they aren't going to have a losing season during the sanctions. I think the man can coach, and he's been staying classy by keeping mum on the ongoing litigation. Too classy for PSU, but he deserves this raise, given his recruiting and coaching especially during a time of sanctions.especially

We also didn't start out without an unknown entity with zero head coaching experience...

Agreed. So once he proved he knew something, he deserved to get paid what a semi-decent head coach would get paid. If he makes a trend of it, he deserves what high tier coaches get paid.

Weren't there news reports early this year that Coach Buttface was going to the NFL, then almost as quickly as they popped up it was reported he was not leaving Slappy Valley? You don't suppose there was a "gentlemen's agreement" quickly reached then to keep him around, do you? Nah, that just never happens.......:wink2:

Bill O'Brien endures Penn State's unique challenges

Bill O'Brien looks a little haggard. Maybe fatigue from the road has caught up to him. At this juncture of the trip, not quite midway through the Penn State coaches caravan part deux, he has traveled for 476 miles as part of this grand spring gesture to reach out to alumni. Trace the journey on a Google map and it looks like the contour of a wolf's head, the neck being Baltimore/D.C., the ear being Reading and the snout Philadelphia. Lancaster is where the eye would go. Being the coach at a major Division I university can be overbearing anywhere, but Penn State introduces a set of circumstances unique in their ability to frustrate. Here, unprecedented sanctions threaten success, alumni pick fights with the president and the board of trustees while vowing to never forget Joe Paterno, and fines and the specter of a less-than-full Beaver Stadium have given the athletic department reason to be concerned of a financial shortfall. In short, all kinds of serious -- let's call it stuff -- is going down at Penn State all the time. Anyone who has paid more than casual attention to O'Brien in the past year-plus can guess he would rather be away from the seriousness of suits, handshakes and the constant media requests, and instead be smack in the middle of the coach's world, where every wall has a whiteboard, every season ends with a bowl game and every clothing item except for sweatpants is sold out of Nittany Mall.
