No disrespect intended. It will be a loss when he does decide to retire, how many old 'name' coaches so well associated with a team are left in the college ranks? The last few years, it doesn't look like recruitment has been too strong at Penn State..set me straight if I'm wrong about that.

On a pesronal level - my favorite college coach of all time was actually the hated, hated rival's guy.

Ara Parseghian.

The legend of Bear Bryant is also fascinating.
...I liked Bryant...Kentucky,A&M,Alabama...such a different time and place...probably couldn't even get an interview now...he was smart...lost to SC...which had more than a few African American on it....saw which way the wind was blowing (and going to blow in the South) and decided to recruit all Americans...good on you,Bear...the other guy...I can speak to his career at Miami of Ohio....as for what he did at Our Lady de loopdy loop...Not a peep....
