3. Earns the respect of his players and coaches.
4. Has the ability to "sell" his "program" to his players, coaches and fans.
5. Exhibits a passionate desire to WIN! (haven't seen this since Dick Vermeil. (tears are optional)
Cowher could fit. Not likely to happen, though. I think Cowher's first N.F.L. coaching return interest lies with Carolina. If Fox gets bumped, he's there. That would leave Fox available. However, i'm not that thrilled about Fox. But wait, there's more. Cowher's daughter will attend Penn State this year and it's rumored that he's been talking a lot with the athletic department. And having overnight stays.
Could Cowher take over the head coaching duties for the Nittany Lions and free up Joe Paterno?! If that happens then i vote for JoePa!
Think about it! He meets all of the qualifications! Plus he has 50+ years of coaching experience. And at 81 years old he still has more "football" life in his veins than Linehan will ever have! Linehan couldn't hold Paterno's "Depends"! Come on everybody; JoePa! JoePa! JoePa! JoePA!..............
RAM ON!

I'm also a Penn State fan but Paterno barely even coaches in PSU. He's more like a figurehead right now. After he's done his time with Penn State, he'll retire for sure.
