Jay Paterno Gets It Right

Like no other coach ever hired his kid, Loado. Go squat.

Loado.... He knows more about football than Jay for sure... lmfao.

 

[KingLando]

Using your twisted a$$ spins and logic, prove Jay got the jobs based on his name.

We know he did--he would have never been a coach wiht it
If he doesn't coach he certainly isn't doing motivational speaking
Why does it bother you that his success is because of his father? It's like a Kennedy trying to claim they weren't given things

You're full of , caught again in your spins and nonsense. You can't prove your retarded assertions, as usual.

You jacka$$.

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.

Iorio DID make it to the NFL, if only for one game (and spent a few years with the Colts on the taxi squad). Made good money doing that (his cousin had the office across from mine for a few years).

One thing you gotta give PSU fans, they can form an opinion and hold a grudge. Elite in that category.

Fixed. Let’s be honest here.

I hold 1 grudge. Kraft. That's honest. I promise I won't be hating on him 15 years after he's gone. (I'm 76
HIs handling of the search and disregard for the 2026 recruiting class will impact PSU football for the next 3 years.

Fair enough. Thanks for takin’ the time.

 

[m.knox]

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

You forget about the "Spread HD" offense!!

 

[LMTLION]

You forget about the "Spread HD" offense!!

Who knows, maybe spread hd would have worked better than Becht hd on Saturday .

 

[JVP_Yahweh]

A lot of people think that the Spread HD was the greatest innovation in football since the forward pass was invented. I know Urban Mayer has called it out as influencing his philosophy

 

[Chumboshifko1]

Loado doesn't know squat, he's all gas and boolsheet.

 

[m.knox]

Let's just hope it was one and only one bad day for Becht last Saturday. After watching Tengwall's breakdown, everyone else seemed to play acceptably sans the run game.

Many could care less about your drivel. I'm one of them. Go blow your hole elsewhere.

I have lots of disagreements with Lando. But this a comment board and he is entitled to his opinions. If that offends you so much, put down your blue and white sunglasses and heed your own advice.

Or unfortunately more.

Loado brings nothing here but bullsh-it. He's a loaf.

I agree. Your contributions, on the other hand, are always insightful and impactful.

You bet. Back for more punishment?

No problem, you were correct to call me on it.

Yep. The hiring of Jay was an indefensible move by Joe. The very idea of having limited coaching positions, and giving one of them to your kid who has no qualifications to be coaching QBs at a premier university football program is appallingly bad.

name one assistant coach the Joe hired that had an extensive coaching resume at the time they were hired, except former players. I'll wait.

What color glasses do you wear?

 

[JoePaMajorCFBrecord409Ws]

Listen, I love/loved JoePa as much as anyone (God bless his soul, may he RIP). But the things that led to success in Joe's era (first among them Recruiting) and the NCAA Rules are nothing like the factors that lead to success or the Rules (of which there are virtually none in regards to UFA) in today's game. HCMC can emulate and honor Joe's Grand Experiment and Joe's admiration-worthy character, but that will not necessarily lead to success in today's Professional College Football League today.

Do you get that hiring your own kid for such a position isn’t the same as hiring someone who is not your kid?

I didnt' like Jay as a Person or a Coach but he is not the first sibling to be hired to a staff when his father is or was the HC.

No coach ever hired their son before or since. Appalling.

Does that mean it’s a good idea?

 

[Marshall2323]

It means it isn't worthy of outrage and venom 15 years after the guy left coaching. Father's have hired their sons in college and the NFL...Bob Chesney still has his father around.
All that matters is that Joe thought it was a good idea. Should we still be pissed he didn't ask for our permission?

The game is irrevocably broken. I think you are seeing the Death Knell of college football and I am seriously considering becoming a passive fan at least, at worse just turning it off and doing other things with my time.

I visited spring practice for the last time in 2011. I brought my sons along (adults by then). We always joked that you knew the program was "clean" because the evidence was in the parking lot (cars the players drove). What they are trying to sell us now as college football is a mess.

I am not defending the arc of Jay's coaching career at PSU, because I agree that ultimately it wasn't what was expected or hoped for.

Just pointing out a couple things to balance the ledger a bit -
- Jay had coaching experience at UConn and UVa (under George Welsh) prior to coming back to PSU. So, he had coaching experience, and an acceptable track record at those places, apparently.
- QBs Mike Robinson in 2005 and Daryll Clark in 2008 were BigTen Offensive Players of the Year. Clark's 2008 and 2009 seasons were outstanding. At the least, Jay was one of the coaches who coached them during those seasons to help get them there. We can agree that other QBs under the same tutelage did not have anywhere near the same level of success. Many coaches have a resume dotted with hits and misses, and I think it is fair to say that Jay is among them.

I don't know Jay, have only ever met him a couple of times. So I can't speak about his personality or his character outside of what we all see and read. There's nothing in his public persona that makes me dislike him, even when I may disagree with him. But, opinions on him are pretty well set in stone for many people, and that is to be expected.
