That ad just comes of as extremely insincere. I'm no PR professional, but I just don't think that was the best way to "thank" a fan base. In fact, it does the exact opposite and rubs me the wrong way.

"It was a wonderful experience"???? WTF...why didn't he just say "Thanks for the money"

How about "It was an honor to be your coach". That sounds 100X better.

And what a dumbass move to have it paid by Penn State. Guy just signed a $27 million deal and couldn't come up with a couple thousand to pay for it himself.

No problem with him leaving for Penn State...but this was a fail on his part.

I think he and Penn State deserve each other. It is what happens when you really do not clean house.
