Never change, you crazy cultists.

Why didn't Penn State become a top-tier team in the country after 1985 and 1986?

Because Joe didn’t have anything to prove in ‘87, ‘88, etc. this was true throughout his final 20-25 years. When he felt he had something to prove there were some special seasons. When he didn't, we saw what that was like

So, he wasn't really trying in 1987 and 1988. Why bother? He already had his awesome seasons, so why bother trying, anymore? In 2005, Penn State was coming off a 3-9 season, from what I remember. "Uh oh. I better start trying, again." So Paterno comes out with a 12-1 season. Or was that 11-1? Either way, they were #3. Then, he had a couple more years where he didn't have to try, so in 2008, he decided to try again. Big Ten Championship...

Maybe they have a point. Sandusky continued to run around on campus because Joe Paterno was never pressured into trying to stop him.

Exactly. Everyone knows Joesus could have easily won the B1G, if not the NC every year he was there. And seriously, what fun would that have been? He intentionally threw some down years in there to teach his players a lesson. Losing every now and then only makes you appreciate the winning that much more. It was all part of his Success with Honor master plan. Plus, if he would have won all those championships, he might have been forced to take a bigger salary and gotten more recognition and respect outside of Happy Valley - and we all know how much he hated that. Who knows, he might have even had time to learn what email or child molestation was.

Penn State schedule and results, 1985

I'd say one possible explanation for the face plant after 1985/86 is random ass luck evening out and the 2 point wins over Temple started to go the other way.

Just a theory.
