I appreciate your post, and I'm not attacking any of your statements. I do, however, wish to comment that in my opinion, JoPa and selfish should never be used in the same sentence. Please keep in mind that this man donated a significant amount of $$ back to the university for the new library. I'm also a little reluctant to agree w/ statements about him being too old. I was furious when the "expert" commentators were making comments a year or two ago about JoPa being too old and needing to step down. I think he silenced them quickly w/ solid recruiting and bowl appearances. He was also pretty impressive running down the official on the field!!! The man has been a great source of inspiration, not only to his players, students, and the university, but nationwide. Given the number of years he has dedicated to Penn State, as well as the values he has instilled in so many student-athletes, I'd say the man has earned every bit of respect he receives from the community and other coaches.
The last pair of shoes I'd ever want to be in are the Prez's at PSU!
