Around SBN: Peyton Manning Medically Cleared To Resume NFL Career

Is JoePa's house for sale? Plus a JayPa rant...

Sunday afternoon, I was giving a buddy of mine from out-of-town a tour of State College & Campus, and took him by the Paterno home at the end of McKee. In the front yard was a knocked over realtor sign saying something like "Reduced Pricings." It did NOT say "For Sale." I just found this VERY interesting. Does anyone know anything about this?

Also, I really am starting to despise JayPa. IF Devlin or Clark or both of them perform well, I will give the majority of the credit to the player and NOT to JayPa. If anything, I'll only question as to why oh why we didn't see either/both of them in previous years. Reading the Daily Collegian today, getting quotes from JayPa about his Spread HD offense (5$ he overheard some kids calling a backyard football play to that...during a grade-school recess game) is ridiculous.

 "It's beyond spread," quarterbacks coach Jay Paterno said. "It's a high definition NFL passing game with the spread offense. It's really a glorified wishbone offense."

What the hell are you talking about JayPa? If this offense is so good, why didn't we see it last year w/ DC17? B/C this "beyond spread NFL passing game" bullcrap you've invented wouldn't have gotten us 8 regular wins, a .500 record in conferance and a 20-point shellacking at home to Ohio State and couldn't have scored 10 points at Michigan? Really? This offense is that great, but couldn't have accomplished any of that? Wow. If the reason we WEREN'T running this offense last year is b/c last years offense was actually better than this alternative...we're screwed.

Sooner or later, JoePa will leave PSU and ride off into his much-deserved retirement glory. I love JoePa, thru and thru. Great guy, great coach (and in that order). Here's to hoping, however, we no longer have to put up w/ his idiot son and his grade-school offensive philosophies.

Not going to count JayPa out just yet

I for 1 am not going to count JayPa out just yet. I am always up for giving someone a second, well maybe 10th chance to prove themselves. Lets hope it’s no longer a 3 yard run every down. If I see some passing and a better offense then last year I will be happy (probably can’t get any worse). I just hope that our D doesn’t play 10 yards off the wide receivers every down, or we will see another shellacking from OSU.

jaypa

has failed at every level in this organization. remarkably. he has never produced a top rated qb, he f’d up recruiting, he was a horrible TE coach…..

Not to be a smart ass, but...

What is your criteria for evaluaitng tight end coaches? I mean, is it your contention that Isaac Smolko didn’t live up to his potential? Did they go from catching 3 passes a game to 2? Seriously, we have a tight end coach? Who are good tight end coaches we should hire?

It seems like coming up with objective criteria for Tight End coach evaluation might be tough.

I'd say that Miami has a good TE coach probably...

either that or a good eye from tight ends…….oooooh that didn’t sound too good did it!
