Except that he couldn't beat Bear Bryant no matter how long he had to prepare. Neither Paterno or Ohio State's greatest ever Woody Hayes could beat Bryant. Paterno was 0-4 against the Bear.

Paterno himself said he was no match for Bear, in his autobiography

Bear Bryant was 0-3 vs. Ara Parseghian.

In fact, the Irish are 5-1 against the Tide.

Bama could not beat teams from the North and Notre Dame and ND and Michigan State and USC rightfully deserved titles over them.

Bear was 0-11-2 outside of the South in out-of-conference. He dominated a pale-face league but didn't fare too well playing against the big league...back then the SEC was considered extremely weak unlike today. The real football was considered the Midwest with black players and the West Coast.
