From America's premier sportswriter, the definitive, #1 New York
Times bestselling biography of Joe Paterno and the story of
America's love affair with football. 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 Paterno's alleged knowledge of those
crimes--knowledge Paterno denied until his death. In the process,
the name Paterno--the name he had spent a lifetime building--came
to represent scandal and controversy. Joe Posnanski lived in State
College, Pennsylvania, through the turbulent final months of
Paterno's life and was with him and his family as the scandal that
eventually consumed him unfolded. Now with a new afterword,
Posnan-ski's 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.
