That is funny. Love the candor!
Ha ha. That's classic - and a fantastic description of Wisconsin.
Good to hear, several years ago, LJ senior said he'd move back to NC when he retired and be involved with community service. He and his wife Christine are very religious.
I'm going to guess it's because the devil plays PSU every year and he's got an ax to grind. And he also knows how to recruit the northeast very well.
Sometimes you have to operate behind enemy lines.
"The Lord moves in a mysterious way / His wonders to perform; / He plants His footsteps in the sea / And rides upon the storm.”
like this 78 nut?
Maybe a large number believe he should have been the DC at one point, but not the HC.
You couldn’t be more wrong. Sure there were a few simpletons who thought that since he had coached at Penn State for so long, and he was a good recruiter and position coach, that he would automatically be a good choice for head coach. This was a minority opinion though. If he wanted to be head coach, then he should have become a D coordinator when he was a lot younger. He had little to no coordinator experience and he expected to be head coach?
Well stated Ranger. LJ is highly valued for what he does best, recruiting, position coaching and providing a great father figure to boys helping them to blossom into manhood. As a HC he would have been a fish out of water imo. He is a people person with high values and a faith filled life style. That is not incompatible with the HC position but you do need to build up to the HC job. It isn't a big jump with out holding a DC or OC position generally.
