I agree except for 2 things:
Notice those players didn't complain. O'Brien always picked his words careful. He always talked about "his plan" and we all know "plans change". Hack was the one he hurt the most and Hack never once said a negative word about it. 19 and 20 year olds understood this better than grown men.
Congratulations! 5, count them, 5 logical fallacies in a 5 sentence post. That’s Olympic effort right there. Well done!
High achieving people recognize and admire greatness. Lower tier people like you mock, criticize and try to tear down those people out of jealousy, inferiority and a realization that you will never measure up. Carry on, Champ.
You might as well wear a neon sign that says, I’m stupid. It would save you all this typing.
With all due respect I don’t engage with low IQ individuals. Go find Perfect Pitch. He seems like he needs a friend.
Snappy comeback Sport. How do you support yourself spending 24 hours a day spouting jackassery on a football message board?
I have said repeatedly that Paterno should have retired 10 to 15 years sooner but that has nothing to do with how he was scapegoated about Sandusky.
What the hell does whether the players complained have to do with O’Brien’s deception about leaving. Obviously, they were more mature about things than him. Recall that O’Brien intended to select a date by which all players had to declare if they were staying or going and Michael Mauti and Michael Zordich talked him out of it saying it would be counter productive.
You have a different philosophy than me. I think people should honor their promises/commitments.
Put down the Fruity Pebbles box and join us in the reality where normal folks don't hero worship other folks, and attempt to present their hero worship as you have above. It's sad. The lowly masses, such as yourself, shouldn't try to demonize or deify folks who actually accomplish something in their lives. I'm sorry you need to look up to these people to find some meaning in your own life, and to live vicariously through them. Self-actualized folks don't need that. But you do. Maybe you'll figure that out when you get to the graduate level cereal boxes, like Honey Nut Cheerios. Actual high-achieving people aren't hero worshippers ... they understand fellow high-achievers are just dudes and dudettes, like themselves. They also would never randomly shout out that they had an accounting degree from a state university as a random attempt to validate themselves in the face of getting some unrelated issue completely wrong. You poor thing.
They were more mature than the fans. There was no deception. He always picked his words carefully.
Again there was never a promise. He always said he planned to. We all knew that meant he was leaving. His plans changed. That happens.
