Is Joe Pa Looking At The End?

The question of whether Joe Pa should go will get louder and louder as the time for his contract to expire gets closer. The Phiadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane is broaching ths subject now. Says McLane,"There's a significant number of Nittany Lions fans who just don't want to hear the excuses. At least the ones who recall when losing three games in a season was considered a huge disappointment and not something to be proud of." Apparently Paterno in his media conferences has a ton of excuses for why the Nittany Lions are losing to such teams as Ohio State. McLane asks,"The question then is,with Paterno's four-year contract set to expire after next season, are the decision-makers satisfied with a second-tier program and, if so, how many more years can Paterno coach?"
