<< <i>Where should we be? It's not like we've got a shot at #1 or something like that. We are in a Bowl almost every season so it's nothing new, but we enjoy it and we'll be rooting for our football team as always...coached by the greatest college football coach of all time, and that's really not even debatable. >>
LOL, not debateable.
Paul "Bear" Bryant: 425 games coached, winning percentage 76% 6 National Championships, 1 SWC Championship, 14 SEC Championships
Joe Paterno: 525 games coached, winning percentage 74.85% 2 National Championships, 3 Big Ten Championships
Bobby Bowden: 521 games coached, winning percentage 74.47% (that number goes to 75.72 % with Florida State) 2 National Championships, 12 ACC Championships
Urban Meyer may wind up being strongly considered obviously dependent upon his length of career. His numbers so far are incredible.
113 games coached, winning percentage 84.07 % 2 National Championships 2 MWC Championships 2 SEC Championships

Somewhere in Orlando an octogenarian looks through his thick glasses, chuckles, and says "It's just another game boys. Just one more game."

You fail to mention that Joe has the most wins of any division 1 college football coach, most bowl wins, and if you knew the history of college football polls, then you'd understand how Penn State got royally screwed out of a number of college championships when they clearly, Clearly, had a better football team than the school that finished #1 because the voters had a longtime bias against Eastern college football teams.
Also Penn State has only been in the Big 10 since 1993, against brutally tough competition so 3 titles isn't bad. Yes, some of the reason for the records is his longevity...but that's part of his greatness.
And another thing...Joe has one of the highest graduation rates for his players...he stresses academics first and unlike so many other college football coaches...Joe really means it.
Joe is hands down the greatest college football coach of all time - the others are fighting for second best.

Didn't know it needed to be pointed out that Joe Paterno has more D1 wins. Do you really feel that the other coaches I put up would not be around or above Paterno's win total if they coached as many or more games? I thought something more appropriate for an obvious great coach would be winning percentage.
What other championships should Penn State have that they were screwed out of?

Just like all top football schools they play some other teams that are clearly overmatched, but when Penn State played as an independent, they never backed off playing the best teams possible...so considering that, Paterno's "winning percentage" is quite impressive and in my opinion more impressive than the names you mentioned.
You can Google college football history about some outstanding undefeated teams that Penn State had which got screwed in the polls, which is one reason Joe for many years has pushed for a college playoff system of some type.
Bama will be ready for Penn State next year.
Bowden says in an interview during the Capital One Bowl that when Paterno retires he will be considered the best college football coach of all time.

Good game.
Were those SEC refs?
LSU's superior team speed was nuetralized by a crappy field drenched by rain.
Let them play on a good field and LSU wins by 10.
CDsNuts, 1/9/15
using that lame logic wouldn't it stand to reason that PSU would be twice as slow as they are on a normal field?

LSU's home field is an outdoor stadium in Baton Rouge.
The thing the ticked me off the most was 18 and 20 yard Penn State field goals. Had they been able to punch those into the end zone, this game would have been a laugher. LSU showed a great goal line defense.
I was good to see Clark lead them to a victory on his last drive as a Lion. I'm sure that will be the highlight of his football career.
All in all a good game and I hope a top 10 finish for the boys in blue and white.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

I realize that, but you were talking bowl game, and LSU has played in a bowl in the Superdome 4 times since 2002!
<< <i>Just because Paterno has been around forever doesn't make him the best coach of all time. Most wins? So what, he's coached for 100 years. I'm sure the people crowing about him being the best ever surely weren't saying the same things when they were trying to run him out of town on a rail a few years back. He's had a great career, but it's time he hung it up and let someone else coach that team. >>
When they make a Hollywood movie about Joe Paterno All American, then you'll change your mind.
<< <i>Does JoePa even coach any more? You never see him with a headset on. During the LSU game, the cameras were stuck on him and I never saw him say a single word. All he did was stand there with a towel around his neck. >>
He communicates telepathically.
The man is now a walking Zen moment.

Yep. Joe Pa has had 5 undefeated teams. His 1994 squad had possibly the best offense in college football history and got screwed out of a national championship. Penn State has the best winning percentage in bowl games than any other team 27-12-2.
Woody Hayes won 5 national championships.
