Some of you may know that my brother coached at FSU, Marshall and the Naval Academy among other schools in a college career of about 18 years. Since then he has voluntarily coached in HS for 20 some years. Over the years, I have met his HCs and other assistants. Guys who were famous and others not so famous but definitely professional. One of the guys that I knew quite well is Jim Gladden. As an aside he says the most favorite photo he has is one in which he was sitting on a couch during a coaches cruise. On one side was Bobby Bowden and on the other side was Joe Paterno. What Jim told me that the most important characteristic of any Coach at any level is that he is a teacher first!!!
I ask, if you evaluate our PSU coaches, are all of them teachers first and foremost.
Of course, I don’t know that answer.
I wish I knew this.
The AD should know this
So should our HC see if our assistants are teachers.
Post Joe, as an example look at our OL coaches.
Under O’Brien it was Mac Mcwhorter: A true professional. He coached at Texas. His Ols there were top rated
Herb Hand coached at PSU in 2014 and 2015. He left PSU. Coached at Auburn 2016-2017. He coached at Texas 2017-2020. He is now at UCF.
Matt Limegrover at PSU 2016-2019. PSU did not renew his contract why? His record with OL was excellent.
Trautwine began at PSU in 2020. This year well, ?
Mac and Limegrover were teachers
I don’t know about the others.
