Did you actually see the way that fan base reacted when Paterno was fired? For the life of me I can't understand how you are believing that there aren't PSU supporters who want things to go back to the way they were

I'm fully aware the man stepped into an almost win-win situation in Penn State & so is he.

He didn't need this job to get a shot at a HC gig in the NFL. He took a huge risk coming here. Every single scholarship kid on that team could have walked and he could have lost 10 games a year. No one would be making excuses for him in that scenario because he would have failed to stem the exodus of players.

Sounds like the University/Alumni has learned it's lesson (at least short term) about coach worship & O'Brien is a little hurt because his ego wasn't stroked enough.

What's worse...me "parroting the gospel from O'Brien" or you literally making up your own counter-narrative?
