Paterno was born December 21, 1926, in Brooklyn, New York. He went on to play football at Brown University (1946-49) and landed at Penn State in 1950 under then head coach Rip Engle, Fifteen years later, Paterno took over for the retired Engle and remained at that post up until this past November.

 

Paterno amassed an FBS-record 409 victories in his 46 years at the helm, was named the National Coach of the Year five times, winning two national titles (1982, 86) and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2006.

 

"His loss leaves a void in our lives that will never be filled," his family said in a statement.

 

"He died as he lived. He fought hard until the end, stayed positive, thought only of others and constantly reminded everyone of how blessed his life had been. His ambitions were far reaching, but he never believed he had to leave this Happy Valley to achieve them. He was a man devoted to his family, his university, his players and his community."

 

The final chapter in the man's life should not be taken out of context and erase a lifetime of achievements.

 

Regret is something Paterno admitted in a Washington Post interview published a few days before his death.

 

"In hindsight," Paterno told the Post reporter, "I wish I had done more."

 

McQueary left out graphic details of the event according to Paterno, who then passed the information he had on to his superiors at the school.

 

Certainly in looking back at the events that unfolded, it was naive on his part to "pass the buck" and hope for the best. However, naivety does in no way make him complicit in Sandusky's alleged crimes.
