Reflecting what others have said, I consider him the greatest college football coach that ever lived. A college coach, by definition, should be more than an X and O guy. He should be one who values academics and instills that value into his players. No one did that better than Joe Paterno. Add in his philanthropy which was directed toward the betterment of Penn State for all students, not just football players, and Joe has no peers. Given the nature of college athletics today, and the win at all cost mentality, I doubt we will ever see another coach like him.
Correct you will never see another Joe P. again
