IRS should reclassify football coaches

I tried to do some research on the IRS Classification of college football coaches, some get rather clouded and some maybe get classified as Independent Contractors. They are the "elite" of the coaching world, and along with that they should be categorized with prostitutes, pimps, politicians and others who sell their souls for money. College football, thanks to TV is now a gigantic industry, and to the victors, go the spoils.

They are not even thieves, there is some loyalty among thieves, and there is no longer any loyalty in the fraternity of college coaches.

A college coach quits and goes to another coaching job for MILLIONS of dollars. A college football player goes to another institution and has to stay out of the picture for a year.

Woody, The Bear, JoePa and some others who were loyal to their institutions are turning over in their graves.

I mention no names of these latest college coaching whores, by the time I would name where they were coaching, they might have left and taken a higher paying job.

If they leave coaching, I should say retire from coaching, they can always go in to politics, they are used to juggling those  seven figure amounts.

Thoughts on Penn State

When does the GOOD outweigh the BAD?

Awards are being renamed, records are being erased, even the name of a sandwich stand is being changed at Penn State. No one seems to be coming forward to extol anything good that Joe Paterno might have done. He coached winning teams, built a football dynasty, was an articulate sports broadcaster for many years, and obviously had a positive impact on many lives. None of whom seem go be coming forward.

There was obviously a gigantic cover up that is actually beyond comprehension to me. I think its echos resounded throughout the state of Pennsylvania, from the top down. We may never know the extent or the depth of the cover up.

I have been somewhat amazed that no one has come forward with any good words for the coach,  maybe he deserves known. It still is beyond my comprehension how a coach, a builder of men, could allow these events to take place and say nothing. Pressure from the top, perhaps? 

More and more I think of the words of OSU President Gordon Gee when confronted with a situation involving the football coach and himself, "He (Coach Tressel) may fire me." If Paterno had such "juice" in the state and on campus, then the blame  does all fall on his shoulders, and what is happening is justified.

Amazing what television can do.
