I wasn't following the program then, but they were in worse shape than now. Who knows maybe Kotelnicki is a Paterno Type waiting in the wings.

Rip Engle also had to teach phys ed classes. Imagine a head football coach doing that today.

Trivia: Rip Engle codified the rules for Angleball when he was at Brown.

Engle was also undefeated against Ohio State at 3-0 ... all in Columbus.

I'd be more impressed if he invented pickleball.

And Rip never had a losing season while at Penn State (worst record was his last year, 5-5).

His best record was 1 loss in the regular season in 1962. That is better than any Franklin team so far. Just sayin.

What was NIL back then -- a radio commercial for lye soap and your face on a glass Coke bottle?

Coach Engle was a Gem of a Person. Good Friend of my Parents. I have a photograph when I was a little kid from Cape Cod when I was ready to climb aboard his sailboat. Such a Class Act of a Man.
