Disgraced Former Penn State DC Jerry Sandusky (convicted child molester)

Dustin Fox just tweeted that JoePa is stepping down today

Wow.

I thought it would be after the last home game saturday.

Just saw that too. I guess we will see how legit his sources are?

With the benefit of hindsight, is it weird that win #409 happened just before Sandusky was actually charged?

Hit the program where it counts... nullify wins in the Sandusky-era (including his emeritus years).

His word came from Dennis Dodd who was on the phone with 92.3TheFan where Dustin has a radio show

Paterno's official statement:

So Paterno is telling them not to spend another moment thinking about him and let him retire. That's rich.

But the fact that they formed a committee to mull it over, and that this committee won't start until Friday, makes me think JoePa is in the clear until the end of the season.

Based on the completely fucked up State Penn student mob reaction as documented last night, I fear for the Nebraska fans travelling to Happy Valley this Saturday. It's going to be a very strange atmosphere.

Just facepalm after facepalm in terms of PR decisions.

 

[Jaxbuck]

He's basically begging the BoT to let him finish out.

yep

All time wins total is his only concern.

Scared old man afraid of death, pissing away a life time's work chasing immortality through his perceived legacy.

He is not going to change his mind 30 minutes after he said he is retiring at the end of the season. He might be forced out today..but he is not retiring or stepping down on his own today.

Well, he said "Apparently Paterno is stepping down today."

It appears JoPa was wanting a chance to at least coach Saturdays home game. His statement seems to indicate that he wants the board to keep him on.

"At this moment, the Board of Trustees should not spend a single minute discussing my status."

No way, absolutely NO WAY they let him coach a road game. It would be brutal.

Yup. Leave their sons at home.

That doesn't sound very legit to me. Wish it was though.

The NCAA won't touch this.

The NCAA won't touch this.

Nor should they, imo.

Well he wasn't even going to retire as of last night...
