Message: [QUOTE="44PRIDE, post: 141231, member: 77"] Watching the resurgent Indiana Hoosiers play tonight got me thinking. Bob Knight was a living legend at Indiana much the same way that JoePa was at Penn State. Knight was unceremoniously forced out in 2000 much the same way that Joe Pa was forced out this year. Neither had an established successor in place before they left. Its taken Indiana Basketball 12 years to return to this point. They've gone through 4 coaches since Bob was fired and only had modest success (at best) since he left. Will this be a similar trajectory for Penn State? I can't help but think Penn State will see equal (if not more difficult) growing pains trying to replace JoePa. [/QUOTE]
