“The overarching lesson that has always stayed with me is that if you take care of the person, the person will become what you want as an athlete,” Golden said. “So, whether it’s character development, community service, being demanding academically, being disciplined, forming great habits, being a team player—all of those things. And then if you care about the relationship, if you care about the player as a person, he’ll take care of the rest. He’ll make the journey to become a really, really good football player. So the athlete part of it is the byproduct of everything else."

We don't have to worry as much about some of those things in today's game.

Albeit controversial coach Joe Paterno. They always have to throw that crap in anything about PSU.

Ok. I thought it was Golden saying something controversial- he was gracious as I’d expect. It’s just the idiot who wrote the article that’s the issue

I think it’s funny that it took a Penn Stater to make ND’s defense great.

No former player speaks ill of Joe. They all love him and have deep respect for him. He was a great man and very loyal to his players. Only the media try to tarnish his name.

To be fair, just based on the headline I thought maybe Golden had said something bad about what PSU is now or something. Like maybe that it is failing to uphold Joe’s standards or such. I know he respects Joe and wouldn’t say anything bad about him (I remember when he was HC he would wear a shirt and tie to games out of his respect for Paterno).

It’s pretty ridiculous to frame a positive commentary of Joe as “controversial”.

I thought maybe that was the case as well. But Joe's former players love him. These media hacks want to drum up controversy.

Alternate story: "Nobody should ever say or think anything good about Joe Paterno and Al Golden did. Golden must be a terrible person. The end."

At least it would reflect some honesty on the part of the author.

what a dumb article. Too much time between games and nothing else to write about. Same could be said about those saying Franklin took a ‘jab’ at ND for not being in a conference - listen to the context - all he said was the playing field should be equal. Writers just looking for clicks..,,,

If anyone doesn’t know by now, the Fake News are liars with an agenda.

Looking at Al Golden on the sideline all I can say is if he was a chick we’d be saying ridden hard, put away wet. What the hell happened to him?

I’m just a college football fan. I loved Penn State and coach Paterno way back in the Franco Harris, Lydell Mitchell etc etc days. I was just a kid. John Capeletti’s (sorry if I misspelled any of those names) Heisman acceptance speech was something I’ve watched a million times. But how things went south was beyond unacceptable and should never be forgiven. Adding James Franklin as your coach made it worse. He’s far from a decent human. Penn St football doesn’t deserve success or the spotlight anymore.

They knew him better than anyone outside his immediate family.

A man of impeccable character. A person who made Penn State what it is.

Sickening that the University still has him under the bus (but still gladly accept Sue’s $).

Losses like this may be our penance for abandoning Joe.
