Jerry DeNardo was a guest on show this morning. Apparently DeNardo had meetings with the new coaches in Big Ten for an upcoming showing on the Big Ten Network. Just heard the portion of Bill King's show dealing with his meeting with BOB which took place yesterday. He indicated that he had a very good meeting with BOB. DeNardo said he focused on whether BOB would have any restrictions set by the University as Head Coach or have free reigns to run the program. He said it looks like BOB will have free reigns which DeNardo felt was good. Asked BOB about PSU traditions - what will change and what will not change. Uniforms the same, he was not sure about buses to the game and quarterback the first off the bus - had not yet made this decision. King asked about coaches retained on staff - DeNardo indicated two coaches retained, Johnson and Vandy, are both great recruiters and coaches. The conversation was then shiofting to Urban Meyer when I arrived at work so I'm not sure if they went back to Penn State at all.

Personally I think it is a way to quickly start losing fan support. Rich Rodriquez tried to change traditions at UM when he went there and it did nothing for him. I think there are definitely things that a new coach can do to put his stamp on the program, but a gameday tradition like the player busses is just something that should stay. Just my opinion.

Agree Lion. If getting off a bus and walking thru a sea of fans onto Paterno Field on gameday doesnt get the players fired up, then I don't know what will.
How about walking from Lasch to Beaver Stadium through campus and the Bryce Jordan Center.......? I could see a tunnel of people all the way into BJC and then a five minute explosion in the BJC followed by a march through a tunnel of people to Beaver Stadium.......
(They could also sign up for a credit card and get a free hat along the way......

If we win, the fans will rally around new traditions. If we lose (particularly if the team is not competitive), then fans will nitpick at tradition changes.
I agree with this. I for one do not care about bus or no bus. What if they walked to the Stadium and dressed there? Does it really matter? If what Coach does wins, everyone will say they had been in favor of the change for years now and do not know why Joe did not change it......If there are losses, then it will be the changes made that are to blame......
