Sinopsis
JOE PATERNO believed that football was a way to teach young men how to live. He coached at Penn State for 62 years. In the course of his years as a head coach, his teams won 409 games, a Division I record. At the end of his life, more than 100 of those wins were invalidated by the NCAA because of the crimes of a longtime assistant coach, Jerry Sandusky, and PaternoâÈçs alleged knowledge of those crimesâÈ'knowledge Paterno denied until his death. In the process, the name PaternoâÈ'the name he had spent a lifetime buildingâÈ'came to represent scandal and controversy. Joe Posnanski lived in State College, Pennsylvania, through the turbulent final months of PaternoâÈçs life and was with him and his family as the scandal that eventually consumed him unfolded. Now with a new afterword, PosnanskiâÈçs book delves deep into the life of Joe Paterno, going back to his childhood days in Brooklyn and his college days at Brown, and looks at him through the eyes of the young men he coached. It is a portrait that goes beyond the daily headlines and into the life of a stubborn idealist, a teacher, and a flawed but principled man who, to the very end, loved to coach.
