This "We Are Penn State Stuff"... does that fly anywhere else?

Could you imagine an SEC school snagging a top NFL coordinator for their coach, and the alumni crying that they'd prefer a crappier coach from within their school's ranks?

I think they would have been fine with a slam-dunk, non-alum. Mostly they're pissed with the secrecy. Regardless... who cares?

You mean like having a national championship coach and not being happy with him? 
I don't think it's straight up arrogance on PSU's part - I think it's trepidation over change. This is their 2nd HC in 50 years...a HC who built a certain environment. It's a unique situation, you can't compare it to anything else. Let it slide.

They don't get it. They want a "Penn State guy".
Two problems with that:
1) That's the last thing they need. They need to blow that place up and start over.
2) Do they not realize that Paterno was not a "Penn State guy"? He went to Brown.

But I can't let it slide. The whole thing just reeks of a cult, and I do not say that lightly.

State College was/remains a full blown cult of personality centered around JoePa. I honestly think nowhere else is even close to being similar

It's not so much that it was a "non-Penn State" guy. They thought they could land a bigger name coach if they had to go outside of "the family".
They were throwing out names like Les Miles, Urban Meyer and Jon Gruden. Delusional.

I don't know what all the alumni/boosters are whining about.Do they really want to hire a "family member" that might have to testify what he knew about their little safe house for monsters?

Yes, because they are all delusional culltists. Its interesting how this is even possible.

ETA: I agree with your point though. They are joined at the hip with Joe Pa.

This reminds me so much of the Rich Rod situation at Michigan that it isn't funny.
