I think some of your claims above are a bit of a stretch (Tom Bradley, Larry Johnson and the unnamed-thus-far John Thomas have definitely been at equal-level jobs post-PSU), but fine, I'll play along. I'll speculate that jobs that Jay was considered for prior to July 2012, he is no longer being considered for.
Now let's take a look at Jay's lawsuit. Let's look specifically at this quote: Before the execution of the consent decree, Jay Paterno was a top candidate for open head coaching positions at comparable universities."
The challenge to Jay --- name those schools. Name what schools, prior to July 2012, where Jay Paterno was a "top candidate for an open head coaching position."
If you read the NCAA's court-filing earlier this week, the NCAA called Jay out themselves on this specific claim (reference paragraph 147 in the link at the very beginning of this thread).
OK Jay --- you were once a top candidate for open head coaching positions, and now the likes of UConn, BC, James Madison and Colorado won't even interview you? Go prove that.
