Joe The Coach: My View On Sports

If you have been listening to the TV or radio lately, you know that we have lost a great coach at Penn State. Todd Blackledge probably put it best when he said that Joe Pa died from a broken heart, not from lung cancer. Joe Pa was the winningest coach in college football. I GUESS I fail to see where he went wrong; he notified his superiors, but it stopped there. I suppose he should have gone to the police, but I also think that his superiors should have done that. To fire the man so soon I thought was out of line, but I could be wrong. I guess you will let me know. It's just too bad that it all happened. Why was Sandusky allowed on campus after he was apparently caught by one of the assistant coaches?

Now we are hearing that Tressel from OSU is being offered a pro job. Where did the ethics from the pros come in to play? What I see is that Tressel just walks away. The coach from USC didn't; I don't understand - it must be a money issue. I wonder where the next NCAA school scandal will turn up. Those schools are out there, we all know.

I must admire all of our Parma Senior High School players; they are giving a good account of themselves. They have some catching up to do, because they have no junior high feeding program. It will take time to reload the rosters. We have good kids - the girls are doing great.

I would like to personally thank Steve Vaughn for the 20 years he has invested in the wrestling program at Normandy High School. I went to Normandy to watch the kids wrestle Parma High; they lost, but they sure were scrappy! My PC is on the bum right now, so I will need to shut down. Please let me hear from you.    COACHJOE61@COX.NET
