In a wide-ranging recent interview at his home, Penn State's former quarterbacks coach takes on a variety of subjects regarding himself, his family, his dad, Penn State and the scandal that won't go away. Details from that interview will appear in a profile that will run Tuesday at CBSSports.com.

I do not know who prints or subscribes to the Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics, but I read the linked article this morning after seeing it on Scott Paterno's Spacebook. This on the same day where a complete stranger came up to me in an Ohio Sam's Club to tell me that "Your coach should have been coach of the year."
