If true, it will be a first. IMO, a nepotism hire that absolutely destroyed our recruiting in Ohio when given that job ( we used to get KIJana Carter, and Jeff Hardings, and Kim Herring, only 3 of the best players PSU ever had from Ohio. He takes over and we get preferred walk-ons like Joe Iorio and O$Us rejects). He then does things like recruits Canadians - remember Francis Claude? No? Neither does anyone else. As a rule, I don’t take anythIng entitled princelings say seriously.

Please tell me this video isn’t Jay commenting on coaching. Please. He has never had a job since being fired. He should never have been hired or paid out later. Too bad he couldn’t make a name for himself.

Well I certainly wouldn't debate any of that but on this issue I think he knocked it out of the park.

He wasn’t a fan favorite at all when he was here and after 2011 his name was Mudd and unhireable.

Jay is worth around $5M without Joe's money. He writes for CBS and other entities. He has a successful consulting business and speaking engagements

Which is lost on many dooputz here and elsewhere.
And him being his father's son had nothing to do that?
Has he ever had a job not based on his last name?

Makes he wasn't a qualified coach...daddy gave him a role then made Galen assist him because he was so inept.
Jay is a great guy...but he's the posted child for nepotism

Like no other coach ever hired his kid, Loado. Go squat.
Ferentz also gets criticized but the name isnt the same as Paterno. Are you saying he's not a poster child for nepotism? Not blaming him or Joe...that's what you should do...just being honest.
Though Joe should have fired him

Couldn't care less is the claim you want to make though fittingly this was more accurate.
Name a job he have held that wasn't because of his name....prove me wrong. Should be easy

That Jay Paterno made $5M dollars independently, which you would have absolutely no way of knowing. Even if that were true, that’s a bit sad. I made $20M just last year freelancing.
LMAO... you're another jerk jolly fool. Google is your friend.

I know a bunch of stuff there was made up. By various sources.

🤪🚽👋🧻🫟. Pud.

Only $20m? I cleared $817 million after taxes

Or his dad or his mother who landed him the PS job. She wanted him home with her grandbabies.

There is only one person to blame and that was Joe. Jay should have been made to go off and develope in one or two other systems and I think he would have been seen in a more favorite light by the fans and other PS coaches.

The guy who really got shafted was Fran Ganter and part of that was his own doing when Fran didn't take the Michigan State job. IMO at the time Fran Ganter was the brightest young assistant and OC in college football. To say nothing of the fact that he was a tremendous recruiter.
