Joe Pa was the pic of the bronze statues that was removed from Beaver Stadium.
I would compare him I guess with Rupp and Kentucky in how glorified he was in state.
The guy could have ran for Governor for life and won in a landslide, except for maybe Pittsburgh.
There's plenty of adamant deniers out there that champion the view of Joe Pa knowing nothing about the situation.
IMO a coach like that likely knows everything that happens under his roof and has more clout than the AD and PSU President.
You're probably right on that one.
