You can't assign monetary value to being the idol of a cult of personality. Some people go crazy for that poo poo.

And you can only ascend to that level at the Steelers, but good luck getting that job.

You should probably look in to this because it didn't work out so well the last time a Big Ten team with a super huge stadium let a former coach hang around.

I had a dream last night that Michigan hired Mike Tomlin and then the Steelers hired a guy named Brandon Hoke, which was just Brady Hoke with sunglasses.

I have foreseen the future. Alert the media.

In my experience most boosters have zero idea what's going on at any real program.

Anyone using privileged information to win an argument is a goober anyhow too, which makes me doubt them anyhow because they're trying to win an argument. That's why I keep my lips shut when arguing about the topics I have the inside info on. That and the part where I'd go to prison. Or at least have to pay such a huge fine that I'd wish I was just in prison.

which will be never because that's all penn state produces

Naw, there were plenty of anti-Paterno faction people 15 years ago and there will be more and more every year. It'll take a decade or so. Things will be helped out by the part where everything fell apart with bad teams, losing records, and scandal rather than him riding off into the sunset. The "Paterno Man" will be poison and, thankfully, his coaching tree is full of garbage that no one wanted in the first place.

As long as the team that's on the field is good at defense, the fanbase will be generally satisfied. If Franklin or the guy after Franklin wins a national title somehow, he'll be the new golden god-king.

Because he wasn't Paterno and wouldn't kowtow to the old guard at all. Anyone with a brain in his head would have wanted BOB to hang around because that guy could work, like, wizard magic. He got McGloin to the NFL!

Michigan's got its barrel of problems, Penn State's got its problems. How bad was it for Bama in the 80s? How did FSU get past Bowden with relatively light trouble? Is VT going to be a disaster when Beamer retires? How come we stopped joking about Beamer's neck-Kuato?

This seems like the kind of thing that could have happened in the early days of football. I bet there's some 1920s NFL team that no longer exists that was coached by someone who coached at a local college that's now in division 3 at the same time.

Back in 1919, Penn State's head coach was also the Pirates manager.

Yes, those poor horrible Niners with the fifth best record overall since the merger, tied for fourth most winning seasons, and the only team to win five Super Bowls with no Super Bowl losses.

They've had their rough patch lately, but c'mon man they're not like the Browns or Lions, who are perennially poo poo.

I don't know if you have actual read a Sash post but it's pretty clear he pretends that anything after about 1994 never happened.

This is how I learned that the NFL Standings after the AFL-NFL Merger wikipedia page is out of date

Also forgot that the Niners lost that one because I only remember Steelers Super Bowl wins. There's only so much space in there.
