We're going -- small fraction of Joseph Paterno whose career I mean he became good speed power chipping in 1950 and -- 59 year apparently you ever -- Europe with her for her head coach.
You won 409 games you want your national championship probably should have won more. Had it not been for. Cobb you know some. I'm going to be people couple times I graduated and player -- put a lot of guards in the NFL. I I.
You know fight till Eric amend that well all Famer. Who. You quickly cultural Paterno the man who who made Franco who is not at the -- at a football player that that Manny you'd cut. So many people. I made such an impact on on the wire so many young men.
And then that you -- taken a step further and -- what Joseph Paterno did make my parents they basically -- national institute and a -- in ancient.
I'm -- for athletics and academics. -- there except for the football program under Joseph Paterno turned and speed and -- national and confusion throughout. It's complicated. Very correction and and you know I don't want to -- so what -- happened -- collapse in my outside I'm all the at all anyone is. You know what has happened out there aren't apparent speed but I don't believe -- Do. Making judgment until Paterno. You don't control -- Campbell.

Racking up 409. Wins in the process and two national championships and Mike we think Penn State will be like. In the future post Paterno.
Very different. You know again I keep going back to be now you know the whole -- I mean it Joseph Paterno was. Such a huge huge part of the fabric of the culture and -- not just an athletic. You know all you -- you if you go to -- how -- We take a walk you know apology avenue to the mainstream press Oxford campus -- have a bookstore where he's short. I look at all ultimate speed Pennsylvania. He walked in front door and you beat a great picture and in order one group. I've -- content and one of the current group -- talk.
Well well well. Probably about them up what they -- they're -- I know. Similarly Joseph Paterno is revered and in the speed ample Branyan. And local people my -- and you could not support generation current leader my. Are great grandpa my grandparents. My parents went and stayed heartland and you know. When you're all like me had grown up we can't beat being such a big part of their life you know Joseph Paterno looked a -- and think. -- huge -- in and I think. New coach bill O'Brien has been a very good job of making it clear that you weren't trying to continue. A lot of tradition that. And Joseph Paterno started that and speed are not in a tanker pitted the iconic uniforms are still going to be -- land engineer. And not put collapsed and implement that or see that they are in deep meaning if you all are doing everything we can't it's still going to be. Basic fundamental football and -- tradition that Joseph Paterno started I think bill Bryant has been. I'm very very respectful and concerts at bat and clear there are many many and -- all and what happened in recent weeks. But. I think they're going to be a lot more Jupiter like -- just span.
Mike Conte news -- WG ST in Atlanta thanks for the time we appreciate it for sure could talkative our group. Mike -- there goes not changing the tradition and that changing I don't know that I that I. Would agree with that I think -- I don't know that necessarily agree removal because I think he. In this case he got a completely reestablish yourself this is my opinion you know what I'm not bill O'Brien but I would wanna completely re establish. My. Team leave the university the football -- I'd wanna completely redo I'd change as much as I could you gotta move past that I mean. You know Joseph Paterno I don't know it's just. Tough spot for bill O'Brien that's for sure you don't wanna be that guy that follows Joseph Paterno you wanna be the guy that follows the guy. At Penn State coming bill O'Brien has a huge huge undertaking. To get their program back to back to life I'm not saying that they're there over and done with but certainly a big big scandal to whether. Now the passing of Joseph Paterno a lot on a plate of a Penn State in happy valley that's for sure. How you remember Joseph Paterno and next hour. Let's talk a little AFC and NFC title game.
