Totally disagree and not afraid to take the unpopular position.
I suppose one could (incorrectly) accuse me of dancing on this man's grave, but I shed no tears for this guy. What has he really accomplished? Why does he deserve such reverence?
Wins? - I am not impressed with a guy who sticks around the longest and runs a mediocre program for the last 15 years of his life while Penn State gets lapped by its former peers (i.e. Ohio State, Texas, Florida, USC, etc.). he should be derided for his selfishness and refusal to let someone more capable take over.
Work in the Community? - Again, not impressed. Sure he raised money, but they guy was the most visible employee at Penn State for 5 decades. I ask, you, if you stick around somewhere for 50 years, he should have done so much more while he was there.
There is this rush to canonize him but I think just the opposite. I'm not convinced he will be headed upstairs if you know what I mean.
