Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 4849974, member: 173"] I agree no coach is perfect - but using nobody hiring Coach P after Cuse fired him is pretty terrible evidence. Part of the issue is every AD wants to “win the press conference”, and the way Syracuse played the last 3 years Coach P was here made that impossible. There was interest in P in the early 90s - and the way Coach P’s career played out is part of why I don’t begrudge a coach for jumping to a better situation when the opportunity presents itself. (He might have thought Paterno would retire after he’d successfully transitioned Penn St to the Big Ten, so that might have been an option for him after a strong ‘93 season. Instead, that season was a train wreck, and Coach P was never as viable a head coaching candidate after that season. We’ll never know for sure, but there’s a chance Coach P bet on himself and lost).
