Joe Paterno Must Retire as Penn State’s Football Coach - The Daily Beast

 We saw this when it came time, according to university policy, for Adolph Rupp to retire as head coach of the University of Kentucky basketball team.  He didn't want to go but the job had been promised to Joe B. Hall who had been the head assistant coach for quite a while.  If Rupp had been allowed to stay then Hall would have left UK for greener pastures, a trade many were willing to make.  But The Baron was past his prime and out of touch with the new players.  It was time to go.  It seems that Joe Paterno has reached that point in his life.  It would be good if he could go gracefully.
