Penn State Clips' concerns about Dan Mullen

A television station is reporting that Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen is on the verge of signing a contract to become Joe Paterno's successor.

We are skeptical of this story. The time frame seems way too compressed, as Penn State announced only yesterday the formation of the football coach search committee.

All this being said, we have grave concerns about Dan Mullen as the next head coach of the Nittany Lions...

Penn State's Tom Bradley is a Courageous Man

"Joe Paterno has meant more to me than anybody but my father.... Coach Paterno will go down in history as one of the greatest men -- most of you know him as a football coach -- I've had the privilege to work with him. He's had a dynamic impact on so many, so many -- I'll say again, so many -- people and players lives. I'm proud to say that I worked with him." -- Tom Bradley

I sat here all week wondering "where are all the players, coaches, and people" that have been positively impacted by Joe Paterno? Where are they?

Franco Harris criticizes Penn State for firing Paterno

"When I heard that, it blew my mind," Harris said. "Why would they bring the moral into the legal? Now, everyone gets to interpret in their own way. That's what really bothers me: Joe did what was right for him to do. He forwarded the information to his superiors. That's the legal procedure at Penn State.

"I feel that the board made a bad decision in letting Joe Paterno go," said Harris, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. "I'm very disappointed in their decision. I thought they showed no courage, not to back someone who really needed it at the time. They were saying the football program under Joe was at fault".

Joe Paterno's Says He Will Retire After Coaching the Rest of the Season

Penn State football coach Joe Paterno has decided to retire at the end of the season, saying Wednesday that the effects of a child sex abuse scandal involving former heir apparent Jerry Sandusky have been overwhelming.

"I am absolutely devastated by the developments in this case. I grieve for the children and their families, and I pray for their comfort and relief," Paterno said in a statement released just after initial reports confirming his pending retirement.
"I have come to work every day for the last 61 years with one clear goal in mind: To serve the best interests of this university and the young men who have been entrusted to my care. I have the same goal today.
"That's why I have decided to announce my retirement effective at the end of this season. At this moment the Board of Trustees should not spend a single minute discussing my status. They have far more important matters to address. I want to make this as easy for them as I possibly can.
"This is a tragedy. It is one of the great sorrows of my life. With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more. My goals now are to keep my commitments to my players and staff and finish the season with dignity and determination. And then I will spend the rest of my life doing everything I can to help this university."

Is Joe Paterno Guilty of Trusting Others?

There is nothing in Joe Paterno's record or in his accomplishment that indicates he is the kind of person that would stick his head in the sand.

Joe Paterno

Is it possible that after Joe went to Tim Curley and after the incident was "supposedly" investigated by the "administration" that Joe was told that the matter had been resolved?

Is it possible that the parties that were involved either mislead, or even lied to Joe? Or for that matter to mcQ?
