Sadly, coach Paterno died from lung cancer today at the age of 85. Paterno was long time coach of the Penn State Nittany Lions college football team for many years until a sex scandal ended his career abruptly this year. Joe Paterno was the head coach and his assistant coach was Jerry Sandusky.
Jerry Sandustky was indicted on charges of molesting at least eight boys and there was a witness. He is likely to go to jail, but Joe Paterno paid a bigger price, he passed away, unable to fight off lung cancer. Penn State now has to find a way to honor Joe Paterno right in the middle of this sex molestation case.
The death of Joe Paterno is sad news for Penn State, his family and all the fans. Don't remember what Paterno did not do during this horrible child molestation case, remember him as a good coach who got caught up in the middle of a terrible situation. God rest Joe Paterno and if Jerry Sandusky really did what his is accused of, may they throw the book at him. Condolences go out to the Paterno family and friends.
