Summary
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.
