I doubt they paid a clicker much money. Sounds like a job for someone's son or something who wants to earn some cash and help out on daddy's tv team.

Either that or something for an intern to do that doesn't get paid much if at all.

His stupid senile ass needs to get out of college football. If I was a PSU fan, I would be livid that a coach who's mind is turning to jelly is still leading my team out on the field. If JoePa was truly the great coach he claims to be, he'd realize that he's hurting PSU by staying and would check his sorry ass into the nearest extended care facility.

I generally encounter JoePa once a year on the beach at the Jersey Shore. Everyone down there knows where he lives and he gets out and about on the beach and in town. Very approachable and likable guy.

on your retirement. It's about time.

11/20/2004. Inside info says he retires on the day of his last game. (The same source says that is his birthday, which it isnt. so take it for what its worth.)

oops...didnt see the other joepa thread.

This actually happened today, all within the same day.

FSR 970 AM STATEMENT ON PENN STATE FOOTBALL
The comments made by Tunch Ilkin and Craig Wolfley on this morning's In the Locker Room show regarding Penn State naming Tom Bradley as Coach Paterno's successor were introduced during the show as a rumor. Fox Sports Radio 970 has not reported this in our sports reports, nor have we stated this as fact. Please contact Penn State Sports Information for further information.

Statement from
Penn State Athletics: <O</O

Statements made on a Pittsburgh radio station earlier today regarding the future of Penn State Football Coach Joe Paterno are unfounded and untrue. The meeting described in the radio report did not occur. The Board of Trustees has not met since mid-September. In his weekly news conference this past Tuesday, Coach Paterno re-affirmed his commitment to continuing to lead the Nittany Lion Football program. Any other statements to the contrary are untrue.

Too bad he'll be coaching until he's wearing Depends.

Him leaving is not going to fix PSU's problems. PSU's biggest problem IMHO is recruiting. I don't think they are going to do any better when JoPa leaves. But that's just me. I guess the rest of the world thinks different.

with the facilities and tradition they have, it is certain things will get better when gramps leaves. I only diss on jopa cause he is destroying his school with NO chance of fixin it . This is now 4-5 years in the mud, and He Even Thinks He Cannot Be Held Accountable cause he's been around for 55 years. Bullshit old man if he still ran a show like Bowden NOBODY would be hinting at his departure.
