Beano Cook says that Schiano is waiting for the Penn State job, but thinks Bradley (who is he?) will be the next coach. I know noone is expecting Joe Pa to step down for a few years, but Schiano turning down the Miami job makes sense now.

Bradley is PSU's DC, I've heard many times he's being groomed as JoePa's succesor.

Paterno says rehab ahead of schedule
Friday, December 08, 2006

ASSOCIATED PRESS



Looking grandfatherly in a dark plaid sweater, Joe Paterno arrived in Beaver Stadium in State College, Pa., in a wheelchair yesterday to talk about Penn State?s trip to the Outback Bowl to play Tennessee on Jan. 1. He was greeted by photographers snapping pictures.
It wasn?t the way the 79-yearold coach wanted to start his first news conference since two players ran into him on the sideline during the Lions? 13-3 loss to Wisconsin on Nov. 4. He had surgery the next day to repair a fractured shinbone and two torn knee ligaments.
"I want us to be talking about our football team, and where we?re going. The team we?re going to play," Paterno said. "I don?t think I should be in the spotlight."
Paterno said his recovery is ahead of schedule. He put weight on the left foot for the first time Wednesday, 10 days ahead of schedule. He is optimistic doctors will let him coach from his feet on the sideline in Tampa, Fla.

Paterno, 80, seems ageless
Penn State coach, who celebrates birthday today, isn?t ready to step aside

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. ? Shane Conlan remembers asking Joe Paterno nearly two decades ago the question that everyone still wants the answer to.
How much longer will you be coaching? "Oh, a few more years," Conlan, a Penn State linebacking great, said recently in recalling Paterno?s reply. "Then when I was in the NFL, I said, ?How long are you going to keep going?? He said, ?Ah, a few more years.? That was 10 years ago."

Joe Pa back to stalking practice field

By GENARO C. ARMAS
AP Sports Writer

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) -- Joe Paterno stomped a couple yards, raised his left hand, then his right, before his shrill voice echoed through Penn State's cavernous indoor practice facility.

"Which one is your right hand?" he yelled to a lineman who caught his ire Friday during the first day of Penn State spring practice. "Well, use it!"

No cane in sight nor crutch in tow, Paterno appeared to be in midseason form - at least when it came to his voice.

Paterno said he expects to return to the sideline this fall for his 42nd season, which would break Amos Alonzo Stagg's record for the most years coaching at one school. Stagg led the University of Chicago from 1892-1932.

I was wondering which record he now sought to capture. Big 10 championship - not a chance. National Championship - out of reach.

Outlasting a dead guy - JoePa is up for that.

How will the high court rule on the FOIA request for JoePa's salary?
Depends.

'Most clearly a public record'
Case of Paterno's secret salary reaches high court

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) -- The state's highest court heard arguments Monday on whether secret salaries of Penn State employees, including football coach Joe Paterno, should be released to the public.

Penn State will not disclose the salaries of its administrators and employees, and has tried to block an attempt by a reporter for the Patriot-News of Harrisburg to find out the salary of Paterno and three top administrators.

The school gets about 10 percent of its more than $3 billion budget the state, but is a separate entity. The reporter, Jan Murphy, sought the salary information from the State Employees Retirement System, to which Paterno and the administrators belong.

Paterno Weary From Off-Field Issues

By DAN GELSTON
AP Sports Writer
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. ? Off-field issues have managed to do to Joe Paterno what four decades as Penn State's head coach never really could: tire him out.
"I have to fight sometimes to get out of bed," Paterno said Monday night. "It's been a long year. But in a lot of ways, it's been a good year."
It just hasn't been so good at times lately.
The 80-year-old Paterno, still recovering from a violent sideline collision last season, called an off-campus confrontation involving a few of his Penn State players a "team embarrassment."
