He won national championships and became un-firable from a football perspective. Don't see how that's somehow different from what I was saying.
College Football is very much a "What have you done for me lately" business. If Nick Saban somehow managed to go .500 or worse over the next 3 or 4 seasons, even he would probably be on the hot seat, despite winning 2 National Titles in the last 3 seasons.
Paterno wasn't kept around through the '00s because of his past successes at football, and certainly not because of any sustained current success.
