The Penn State sex abuse scandal took a stunning twist Wednesday night when vice chairman of the board of trustees, John Surma, ended the duty of Penn State Football Coach, Joe Paterno. The massive shakeup Wednesday night came hours after Paterno announced that he planned to retire at the end of his 46th season. Joe Paterno was fired with the university president, Graham Spanier, in the middle of the intensify over how the school handled sex abuse allegations against an assistant coach. “It is in the best interests of the university that a change in leadership (must be made) to deal with the difficult issues that we are facing,” John Surma said.
More than a thousand emotional Penn State students converged on the university administration building and gathered in front of Paterno’s house on Wednesday following the firings. Speaking at his house to a couple of dozen students, Paterno said, “Right now, I’m not the football coach. And I’ve got to get used to that. After 61 years, I’ve got to get used to it. I appreciate it. Let me think it through.” Later, Paterno, 84, issued a statement that said in part, “I am disappointed with the board of trustees’ decision, but I have to accept it.”
