It's a shame really that Jay Paterno felt the need to invoke the name of his father in the letter. Honestly, that speaks volumes. Earn this, or any job, on your own-not because you have a famous father.

That really is a problem.

Jay also wrote letters to Dana Holgorsen (WVU) and Mark Richt (Georgia). He mentions Joe in the letter to Richt, but not the other letter.

The bizarre thing --- as of December 23, 2014, the day these letters were written --- there were 2011 Penn State assistant coaches on the staff of EACH of Ohio State (LJ Sr), WVU (Tom Bradley), and Georgia (John Thomas).

SO YOU SHOULD MENTION THOSE GUYS!!!! You know, the people who worked with you directly (and aren't dead)! Have experience with how you've performed on the job!

It's really one of two things that Jay didn't mention those guys ---- (1) he's kind of dumb as to how job referrals work, or (2) he didn't want those coaches being asked, because they might say stuff like "yeah, Jay .... him. Kind of a poor coach. In fact, he almost got in a fight in the locker room with one of our defensive backs at halftime of the Illinois game in 2011."
