The counter argument is that if Penn State takes the wind in the 4th quarter and
wins the game with a long field goal, then the coach looks like a genius.

blame for losses, but that's why he's paid the megabucks.  Coaches who blame everybody
and everything else for their losses don't earn my respect.
