If he wants to hang on past his time like Joe Pa and Bobby did and Bama fans are okay with it then good for him.


Bobby might have but Joe Paterno was certainly not past his time. Jerry Sandusky aside, the final years of Joe Paterno were relatively successful for Penn State. He won two of his three Big Ten championships in his final seven seasons. And Penn State was 8-1 when the whole Sandusky thing broke. Had that never happened, who's to say they don't finish 11-2 or better?

Anyways, long story short, you can conceivably win at a high level well into 70s and 80s (as Paterno proved).

After Paterno turned 70 they slid big time. Yeah there were a couple of good seasons in there but it was nothing like what it had been before.
