At a recent press conference, Joe Paterno confirmed the fears of Penn State's athletics department and said that he planned to continue coaching for many years, and would maintain his white-knuckle grip on the football program from beyond the grave. Okay, I made that last part up, but he did say that he's not going anywhere:

"'I don't want to walk away from it because of this little bit of a setback,' Paterno said in a teleconference. 'I had not intended to walk away from it in the next couple years because I didn't have any plans, and I still don't have any plans to walk away.'"

And really, that's good news. Joe's a good coach; the Lions went a semi-respectable 8-4 this year. Besides, players need a coach to relate to, and who better for them to talk to about pressing college kid issues like bowel control, mashing your food up into paste so you can gum it, and the debate between walkers vs. wheelchairs. Come to Penn State, kids!
