As far as I am concerned Eddie Robinson is still the all-time winningest coach.
What really is disgusting to me, is that this story only broke, RIGHT AFTER Paterno passed Robinson for most wins.
There is one thing that Bowden, Paterno & Robinson have in common. For different reasons none of them was really in control of their football program for the last several years of their tenures at their schools. It is a potentially dangerous situation as the PSU scandal shows. I’m not one for creating regulations, but universities ought to consider mandatory retirement ages in their coaching contracts. The spectacle of the PSU trustees attempting to get Paterno to retire over the last 10 or so years was just pathetic. It was like watching me go up against Mike Tyson in his prime. Paterno just toyed with them.
