Bradley might be best pick to coach PSU

In a program where a closed-door culture that wielded too much influence seems to be the root cause of the current problems, Bradley, the longtime defensive coordinator, is the ultimate insider. He has a 37-season link to the Paterno era, starting with four as a player.

I certainly understand the argument that the next coach of the Nittany Lions should have no previous ties to the university.

But is it the right move for Penn State and Penn State football as both try to move forward from something that has shaken Happy Valley to its core?

First, let me be clear that Bradley must be completely free of the current scandal. He must be vetted by the search committee as if he were running for president of the United States. Nothing is off-limits. No question is out of bounds. He must be absolutely honest about everything.

Bradley cannot have even a hummingbird-size skeleton in his closet that shows he had any inkling of prior knowledge of the allegations against former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky.

OK, so considering the chances are remote that Bradley never even accidentally overheard a whispered conversation about Sandusky, why him?

Well, because no football coach in the country better understands what is happening with Penn State football and what is going to happen with Penn State football moving forward.

Bradley has been in the belly of the beast with this football program for the past month.

Even more, he knows that as bad as things already have been, the stronger corrosive digestive juices haven't yet started to truly flow.

There are dark, dark weeks, months, possibly years ahead for Penn State football.
