So I was catching up on all this craziness at Penn State and had a few thoughts (I don’t really pay attention to much outside the SEC but you can’t ignore this!). Why are all these students supporting him, he KNEW his former coach was molesting boys and all he did was “report it to administration” then he allows him back on campus? Wait what? Anyway you slice it he definitely deserves some of the blame, yeah he reported it, blah blah blah. Then he did nothing and was complacent in trying to slip it under the rug……so the students throw him a pep rally…..another reason Northerners suck and the Dirty South rules! Do you think Joe Pa even knows what year it is?
So I just heard that Joe Pa is stepping down at the end of the season....and I heard that they are looking at getting Saban.
He is an iconic figure to them…he has giving millions to Penn State during his tenure there to build a library, etc…to them he can do no wrong. Which is what makes this so sad for me…I can’t believe a man like him (at least like the man I thought he was) would allow the school to put their interest above a innocent child.
I have never heard Saban. Urban Meyer and Al Golden are names that have been mentioned. But at this point, why would anyone want this job? When the smoke clears, someone will take over, and it could take years to bring Penn State football back to respectability....on and off the field. Who really needs a job? Maybe they should call DiNardo.
It is still a good job…anyone looking to make big money at an elite program would jump on this job, especially since all parties involved are being flushed out of the system.
here is the written statement released by Joe Pa this morning: Retirement statement by Penn State's Paterno | Reuters
