Ughh just wish none of this stuff would happen and Tressel and Paterno could still be coaching

Had they handled their respective situations differently, both would still be coaching. It wasn't their actions that did them in, it was their inaction.

Damn shame.

Joe took it upon himself to tell the Board of Trustees he was finishing the season.

The Board of Trustees decided otherwise.


Please note that is not sarcasm or joking, that is literally what happened.

Literally.

No. This morning Paternoster said he'd retire at the end of the season and the board of trustees didn't need to dwell on his situation.

Tonight the board of trustees decided they did need to discuss his situation.

Joe Pa himself said that he was going to finish the season and be done after. The BOT had not been involved yet.

Agreed. I've always respected Joe but the stuff of the past week are beyond disgraceful. And him attempting set the terms of his departure... What. An.asshole.

Word has it, the only way Paterno could be fired was if all BoT members met face to face and held a meeting. Tonight was the first night when all of them could make it in. This came from a friend who said it was heard on Dan Patrick, didn't hear it myself and no link... so I don't know, seems to make sense..

JoePa issued his statement.. kind of a pre-emptive strike by him hoping to avoid his fate.
