Remembering Joe Paterno
Joe Paterno, the longtime Penn State coach who won more games than anyone in major college football
but was fired amid a child sex abuse scandal that scarred his reputation for winning with
integrity, died Sunday of lung cancer at the age of 85.
Paterno's legacy was clearly tarnished by the terrible tragedy of child abuse and his inability to
manage and prevent it, but that shouldn't totally overshadow his positive influence on their
university and players who competed for him.
