Joe Paterno is 83 years old and we know he will be gone sooner than later, so I was wondering what people thought about the job. The job itself IMHO is easily at top 5 job in the NCAA.

I would think that to be the person to replace Paterno would be almost setup to fail, but after that all bets are off. I think when he does leave they will get an ok coach but not a superstar.

Paterno has another decade in him easily. So I would call it a top 15 gig.

I suspect Penn State will probably land one of those NFL coaches that fails next year.

no way. It's the #3 job in the Big-10. I'd say it's around number 10 or so

I'd want to be the guy that follows the guy that followed Joe Pa.

It would be tough for them to get a top coach that is currently at a school in the South just because of the fertile recruiting those guys have that PSU wouldn't have based on proximity.

Al Golden and Schiano seem to be the popular picks, but I would try to get Fitzgerald from NW.
