You are a better man than me!The man did what was best for himself and his family. Despite the criticism, I would expect almost everyone here to do the same. I hold no animus. Take the high ground and move on.

Not at all…wanted to be NFL HCO'Brien left town to get away from all the Paterno acolytes. I don't blame him.
Properly honor Joseph Vincent Paterno. Until they do, it won’t happen. JMO!Too bad the AD didn't have a better balance sheet so they could off more. Time to address that fundraising.
O’Brien left because he intended to use the Penn State job as a stepping stone to the NFL from the minute he arrived on campus. Trying to then claim that he left because of the JoeBots is beyond pathetic. Very convenient time to leave; just when the worst of the sanctions years was coming up. If he was half the coach he thinks he is, he wouldn’t be bothered by critics.O'Brien left town to get away from all the Paterno acolytes. I don't blame him.

Obviously we have a board tournament with ping pong ball basketball to select the next coach .
You realize that the next Penn State head coach will probably be a head coach or top assistant somewhere else right? Meaning they would be displaying a lack of loyalty to that program to come here.Loyalty and appreciation are antiquated concepts today. And that doesn't just apply to sports.

Good, because I wasn’t going to argue about it. I will lol that you built in your assumption though that I was implying one is a higher level of a hole than the other though.They're still both A-holes to me. If you're implying Shrewsberry is worse, I don't see any need to argue with you.
I wish him the best and wish ND BB the worst.You are a better man than me!
At least you beat the rush and hated us early.I guess we really don’t deserve better.
Ouch, but pretty realistic.Face it, our MBB gig is = Temple football
Why does this thought process have to be interjected into almost every conversation here? There’s four pages of this argument in the brick buying thread.Properly honor Joseph Vincent Paterno. Until they do, it won’t happen. JMO!
I honestly believe Penn State will never riseI was at at PSU when Parkhill coached and many of us were excited about the future of MBB. We all know how that turned out and as a Philly native and fan of college basketball it bugs the crap out of me this university has done very little to develop the program over all of these years. I don’t want to hear the location of our school is a factor. Is Purdue that much better a place to be? Syracuse in the winter? Iowa basketball? As one of the largest universities in the country it’s bs that over the years they’ve refused to invest in the program with quality coaching and recruiting. If they did that the players and fans would come and many more would watch. I know football rules the day but as we all witnessed this year having both a good football AND basketball team makes it that much more enjoyable. I’m pissed Shrewsberry left but with the way this school has valued it’s MBB program I’m not shocked.

above mediocrity in basketball, much like Duke, or Indiana, in football. It's not in our DNA. All efforts are doomed to fail. Give up the ghost. Stop trying. Make a typical Penn State hire, meaning uninspired, and accept an NCAA bid every 20 years. And yes, I am serious.
Me too!Agree Fairgambit. Hoping I have another 20 left in me.
I can respect this. If they can’t go hire a big name instant success guy, then hire a guy that will at least be loyal and sink the extra cash into the wrestling team and making sure Cael is the PSU coach until he retires (which should be at the top of the priority list at this point anyway)I honestly believe Penn State will never rise

@fairgambit roots for Pitt, so it's no sweat off his back if a PSU coach leaves.You are a better man than me!
Are you kidding? He gone.Look at the bright side. There's an incoming frosh named Shrewsberry who could be a game changer.
Agree Fairgambit. Hoping I have another 20 left in me.
Hogwash. Just need a stronger will.I honestly believe Penn State will never rise

Ah, you got me figured out Moogy. I've been a closet Pitt fan here for over a dozen years, quietly fermenting negativity, and no else called me out on it. Good for you. I just wish Coach had not taken the ND job though, since they play Pitt.@fairgambit roots for Pitt, so it's no sweat off his back if a PSU coach leaves.
That's pretty much why I stand by my statement. There is no will. But...the new AD. He has the will. So I've heard for 50 years. We'll see. Count me among the skeptical.Hogwash. Just need a stronger will.
Not closeted at all. Just with the winky emoji under the surface of it all.Ah, you got me figured out Moogy.
