There has been conflicting reports from yesterday. But this one is from today and AP.

Fired Penn State coach Joe Paterno dead at 85 - Yahoo! News

Not matter how you feel about the situation he was involved in. He was one hell of a coach and his record speaks. I remember him coaching in the '70's when I lived in PA and the following Penn State had then, and to be still coaching till last year is one heck of a run.

R.I.P Joe Pa

Yeah I'm sure the scandal and the way the media took ahold of it prolly helped pound the final nail in his coffin. Rip Joe Pa.

He was a hellva coach and what happened in the months leading to this were probably didnt help.

Im hoping ol bill Snyder will stick around as long as paterno did at pen state.
