Entering the 2000 Football Season, Penn State football coach Joe Paterno was poised to pass Paul Bear Bryant as major college football's all-time winningest coach. With his 317 career victories, Paterno was six shy of tying Bryant's record of 323. But as successful as his Nittany Lions teams have been on the field, winning two national titles and posting seven undefeated regular seasons, Paterno has been most influential off the field as a mover, shaker, and outspoken advocate for what is right and ethical about collegiate sports.

This review is from: Quotable Joe: Words of Wisdom by and about Joe Paterno, College Football's Coaching Icon (Hardcover)
Few people represent college football like Joe Paterno. He has led top rated football teams to victory for over three decades, and continues to devote his energy towards the pursuit of excellence. As a teacher, a leader, and a role model, coach Paterno stands tall for generations of young people. There have been many attempts to chronicle the life and times of this legend, but none has the overall impact of "Quotable Joe" by L. Budd Thalman. Featuring selected quotes by and about the coach, this concise guide gets to the root of everything from his formative years in Brooklyn to his thoughts on national championships, polls, and publicity. Thalman is the ultimate insider, serving as the Associate Athletic Director for Communications at Penn State since 1986, and he brings a personal flavor to the chapter introductions including a funny story about the first time his father, a die hard West Virginia fan, met coach Paterno. Presented with classic photos and a foreward by former Penn State quarterback Todd Blackledge, "Quotable Joe" is a great resource for any serious sports fan.
