JayPa to Toledo?

This is interesting. Looks like Jay Paterno might be on the short list for the Toledo Rockets head coaching job that just opened up.

Another guy being mentioned is Jay Paterno from Penn State. He is the quarterbacks coach for the Nittany Lions, and he was interested in the Toledo job back in 2000 when Gary Pinkel left for Missouri.

Jay, the legendary Joe Paterno's son, has alot of coaching experience now and is a more serious possibility for the head coaching job at Toledo. He has developed Penn State quarterbacks such as Anthony Morelli, Michael Robinson, Zach Mills, and current PSU quarterback Darryl Clark.

Jay started out as the tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator for Penn State, and has been considered a good recruiter for the Nittany Lions. He was also the quarterbacks coach at James Madison for one year, wide receivers and tight ends coach at UCONN for two years and a graduate assistant coach at Virginia for three years before that. He was a backup quarterback at Penn State during his playing days.

Jay would be a good fit for this program since he's been recruiting the Ohio area for Penn State and has surely made several ties to local high school coaches.
