Not sure where the TNL guys fall in terms of Bradley vs. Schiano vs. Golden vs. The Field, but I’m fairly certain Galen’s wrong about this one:
Golden has been at Temple for three years and started off with a very young team (read: his guys) so it’s obvious that Golden doesn’t hold his players to the [...]

In order to best fill the void left when Hillary and OBAMA departed Pennsylvania, some political-style polls for your consideration. And yes, I stole the exact wording that polling organizations like Pew and Rasmussen use. That means simple, straightforward answers. No hedging allowed. ”I want Tom Bradley to be the next head coach, but not [...]

Some reaction to yesterday’s scrimmage from around the The Internets:
Big happenings during a Joe Paterno press conference, as the Patriot-News’ David Jones (universally loved by Penn State fans everywhere) confronted Paterno with two relatively simple questions. First, does the contract standoff between Paterno and Old Main hurt recruiting? Second, in Paterno’s perfect world, [...]

Always fun to pick on Collegian letters to the editor, I suppose.
Whether it is time for Coach Paterno to retire is not the issue. The issue is whether he should be treated with honor, integrity and dignity, values which are at the core of our university. I ask all students and alumni to contact the [...]

Great article today by Jeff McLane at the Philadelphia Inquirer. He tracked down Jerry Sandusky for comments about Joe Paterno’s situation. For those of you too young to remember, Jerry Sandusky was Tom Bradley about 15 years ago.
Football is still part of his life. He holds yearly football camps and has Penn State [...]

Just noticed this little AP blurb on PennLive.com:
AP NewsBreak: JoePa contract talk on hold until end of 2008
By GENARO C. ARMAS
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Contract talks with Penn State coach Joe Paterno are on hold until the end of this season, when the 81-year-old’s current deal expires.
Penn State president Graham Spanier told The Associated [...]

And every single newspaper in the state covered the press conference.
Honestly, I’m not interested in dissecting every word of it. Regarding Paterno’s contract, nothing is going to happen until it happens. Everything in the interim is just pawn vs. pawn style posturing.
Oh, but actual, honest-to-God football discussion? Yes, let’s have that. [...]

And on and on. Obviously the Penn State blogs and message boards have been pounding this issue relentlessly, but now it seems that columnists across the state have decided it’s safe to turn the Joe Paterno contract situation into a full-fledged Piñata Party.
This is what happens when a coach spends decades talking down to beat reporters. It’s too [...]

That whole contract thingy. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports on the PSU trustees meeting, which was held at the Mayflower hotel in Washington, D.C. Presumably, the conference included complimentary Emporer’s Club ladies as well as a 700 pound gorilla in the meeting room.
Two members of Penn State’s Board of Trustees yesterday told the Post-Gazette that negotiations regarding [...]

Is something cooking?
The Penn State Board of Trustees is expected to address Paterno’s future during meetings today and tomorrow at the Renaissance Mayflower Hotel in Washington.
“It’ll definitely be on the menu,” said a trustee who requested anonymity.
Penn State athletic director Tim Curley and president Graham Spanier recently met with the 81-year-old Paterno, who is set [...]

Heard an interesting tidbit at a meeting this morning. Somebody very close to Graham Spanier told the person I spoke to that not only was Bill Cowher on campus a few weeks ago, there was also a meeting between Cowher, Tim Curley, Graham Spanier, and Joe Paterno himself.
As a disclaimer, I don’t have any sort [...]

Tim Curley does not share your sense of urgency regarding the Joe Paterno contract situation.
Curley said he spoke with Paterno over the past week, but declined to go into more detail.
“Those discussions are going to continue,” Curley said. “Once we feel like we have something to report, we’ll report out at that time.”
…
Curley said he [...]
