The name has been a mainstay for many years. Now, the most successful coach in all of college football has passed and he gets my Weekly Salute. You know, I may not be very close to the situation at Penn State, but I believe the school jumped to conclusions when they chose to fire Joe Pa. They did that to him and basically gave a slap on the wrist to the person who saw the alledged events occur.
I know life's not fair but this was flat out wrong. Of course, Penn State's firing didn't directly cause Paterno's death but it, without a doubt, added to the stress he was going through. Who knows how long Joe Pa had been sick but, regardless of that, Penn State officials should be ashamed by how they handled everything. And it'll be interesting to see if they immortalize him even though they couldn't wait to get rid of him a few months ago. My prayers go out to the Paterno family!
