Of course now the PSU faithful will be on the high horse(not that they ever get down from it). I wonder how much worse this is in their eyes, than the PSU student making fun of the VT shootings? Probably a lot worse knowing that fanbase.


I want them to win for the B10 but I fucking hate PSU fans.

That jackass doesn't represent the majority of Penn State fans who made fun of the VT shootings. This represents the majority of Penn State fans, Penn State students, and their response to the VT tragedy.

And the answer is $512,664 - aside from other compensation - money from television and apparel contracts, that Paterno may earn that is typical of Division I-A coaches.

Oh, yes - and he wants to coach for another three, four or five years ....

God help Penn State.

Personally, I'm glad that JoePa will be coaching another 3-5 years. He's produced a lot of winning seasons, and he proved in 2005 that he can still do it. Even 2006 and 2007 weren't that bad, and 2008 looks a lot more promising. I see at least a Big Ten conference title, if not a national championship.

I hope Ohio State keeps Jim Tressel around as long as Penn State has kept Joe Paterno around. It'll give the younger generation a chance to see a coaching legend have a long career and really establish himself like Joe Paterno, Bobby Bowden, Woody Hayes, and Bo Schembechler did. The unfortunate truth is that today, every time a coach has a bad year, they want to see him replaced. And of course there are going to be bad years but there will also be championship winning years.

Joe Pa

Coach Paterno has done so many great things for this university as a coach and as a man. However, now the question is, "What have you done for me lately?"

Sadly, being competitive, solid, running a clean program and being fundamentally sound is not good enough anymore. Many want headlines no matter what the story really is. The next time I hear someone like Jay Mariotti slam Coach Paterno, I may get on a plane and punch his light out. Those morons are more interested in making news and being controversial than reporting the news.

I am a supporter of Coach Paterno and I can remember his sitting down with me years ago at a football clinic and talking philosophy and strategy for over an hour. He didn't have to do that. But he cared enough about a young coach (at that time) to guide and help him along.

Joe Pa will know himself when he can no longer guide this program. Perhaps it is that time, but it is not my place or anyone outside of that administration to make that call.

But I must say: GO BUCKS:osu:

Apache - the only issue I would take with your assessment is this:

The administration in State College doesn't appear to have the balls to step up and tell Joe that enough is enough - thank you, very much, but we need to move on. Frankly, coaching anywhere else (outside FSU), with any other coach, no matter their length of tenure, the swansong would have come before the 2005 revival season.

Penn State moving to spread offense


STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) -- Jay Paterno feels that some day he could be a head coach, too, just like his famous father.
For now, though, he said his only priority is helping Penn State move to more of a spread-style offense next season and getting his dad and boss, Joe Paterno, more wins.

Full of confidence in this spread is the young Paterno padawan ..

"Most people tell me there is no lack of confidence in me," said Jay Paterno, the Nittany Lions' quarterbacks coach who helps call passing plays. "But I'm just worried about next year."
...
He understands that he is sometimes a target of fans critical of the play-calling and the quarterback's performance. Perhaps with that in mind, he joked about what the "HD" stood for in the Nittany Lions' spread plans.
"It could stand for 'high-definition' or 'highly diverse,"' Jay Paterno said. "As long as it doesn't stand for 'huge dud."'

There are several threads about this on the Penn State boards - all of which include assertions that Jay must have had an upgrade from his old gaming system for Christmas. :)

"Hey daddy! On NCAA Football 2008, the game you got me for my brand new Xbox 360, I played as Penn State, and had us use a spread offense!" - Jay
"What's an Xbox? What's a spread offense?" - Joe
"An Xbox is a video game system." - Jay
"What's a video game system?" - Joe
"It teaches you how to be an offensive genius. Like me dad! I figured out, if we use a spread offense, maybe we won't be incredibly predictable, ya know? Spread Offense HD! People have to think that will be cool! Right dad? Dad? Did you fall asleep again?" - Jay

Jay looks over and sees the big red stamp of approval that Joe uses to allow everything that his team does, including the shady off the field activities by players. Jay grabs the big red stamp of approval, and hence approves the new Spread Offense HD!
