Joe Paterno Dies at Age 85

Today is a sad day at Penn State state as the legendary Joe Paterno has died at age 85. He has quite a legacy as he has spent his entire coaching career at Penn State and holds the record for coaching the most consecutive seasons at a single school as a head coach. He coached Penn State last season, less than a year before his death. He was coaching his team to another winning season until he was fired after the indictment of longtime assistant Jerry Sandusky. Unfortunately, Joe Paterno's name will always be associated with Jerry Sandusky given the gravity of what Sandusky did while on the Penn State football staff. Paterno certainly deserves some blame, but Paterno shall also be remembered for all the good he did for the PSU football program.
