Joe Paterno Fired, Won’t Get To Leave Penn State On His Own Terms

News

Guess he’s not leaving on his own terms.

Legendary Penn State coach Joe Paterno and school President Graham Spanier have lost their jobs effective immediately, university trustees announced.

Paterno said earlier in the day that he would retire at the end of the season. Critics had called for him to resign because of his response to allegations brought to him in 2002 by a graduate assistant, who said he had seen retired defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, now 67, sexually assaulting a young boy in a shower at the campus football complex.
