Ferentz to PSU?

**kingcy** · 11-08-2011, 05:51 PM

Why would KF leave. He has it made in IC. He runs the athletic dept, has the media eatting out if his hands and gets paid very well. All he has to do in return is turn a blind eye to the bad things that happen in his program, win a co conference title once every 10 years and go to a BCS bowl every 7 years.

Man, I'd hate to be any of your doctors. Holy moly there's a lot of anger coursing through this thread.

To think that Ferentz would have handled it much differently, based on his management of every scandal the Hawks have been through on his tenure, is possible. Perhaps the horrific nature of the report would have inspired Ferentz to do more, whereas Jo Pa just passed the info along.

But those who doubt that he would have done anything different have a point, and a history to support it, as well.

I don't, for the record, think he's a scumbag. But I also can completely imagine him whipping out the "process, bureaucracy" card as an excuse for committing sins of omission.

This isn't unfair. What's unfair is anyone who would equate Sandusky's crimes + JoPa's cowardice + the cover-up with anything that the hawks have gone through.

But I don't think the crimes are being compared. Just the institutional approaches to scandal. You may be reading too much into the critique. Or I'm not reading enough into it.

Actually not reporting child molestation to the authorities not just your AD is against the law in Pennsylvania as it is in Iowa. Joe Pa and all others with knowledge should be charged. They put their programs reputations and their friendship with this animal ahead of the welfare of 10 year old children. What I can't understand is how that GA did not immediately put a stop to what was going on and get that boy out of there.

Both Ferentz and Rhoads' names could be bandied about, and Penn State could do a lot worse than either one.

Isn't that fiery red head assistant coach supposed to be the next head coach at Penn St. anyway...

No way. If Paterno has to go then he should have to go too. He should have beat the **** out of Sandysky when he saw it.

I agree. Why isn't he catching more heat? He walks in on the act and just turns around??

Because he's:

Ferentz is probably just licking his chops right now because he will be "rumored" to be considering this job and therefore he will automatically receive a million dollar pay raise from Iowa.

That is simply hilarious....What Cyclone fan wouldn't take Iowa's record and bowl wins over the last ten years. Yeah most fans just hate watching boring teams that have won two conference titles and gone to two BCS bowl games winning one of them. The Clones are 7-6 against Ferentz which is great but I would much rather have the Hawkeyes resume in post season play.

Something has to happen to PSU based on this doesn't it?

There won't be any NCAA sanctions, this has absolutely nothing to do with an NCAA violation. Baylor wasn't sanctioned for the Dennehy murder, they were sanctioned because the NCAA found a blatant pay for play scheme being led by Dave Bliss.

The OSU case is completely irrelevant to this situation.
