JoePa - AP Coach of the Year
As a Penn State Alum, I would like to take a moment to express what a great thing it is for Joe Paterno to be honored as coach of the year. He has endured a few years of criticism and hardship and deserves the accolades given this year. He has always showed great character and that deserves a reward.
“I never felt bad when we were 4-7 last year because I thought we had a bunch of kids that never quit. And that’s the joy of coaching. It isn’t 8-3. It isn’t 10-1. It isn’t 11-0. It isn’t any of that stuff. It’s did you get the most out of your football team.”
Well said, JoePa!
