Penn State Said to Be Planning Paterno’s Exit

Joe Paterno’s tenure as coach of the Penn State football team will soon be over, perhaps within days or weeks, in the wake of a sex-abuse scandal that has implicated university officials, according to two people briefed on conversations among the university’s top officials.

The board of trustees has yet to determine the precise timing of Paterno’s exit, but it is clear that the man who has more victories than any other coach at college football’s top level and who made Penn State a prestigious brand will not survive to coach another season. Discussions about how to manage his departure have begun, according to the two people.

Paterno was born in December, 1926

He is 81 years old. If the doddering old fool defense won't work for him now, when would it work?

Still, if he knew what was going on, he should have been more diligent in doing something about it, like reporting it to the cops.
