Here’s a link to the NYT’s obit on Paterno, written by the best obit writer in the biz, Richard Goldstein. You never want a piece written about you by Goldstein. The lede is superb. Tough task.
Joe Paterno, who won more games than any other major college football coach, and who became the face of Pennsylvania State University and a symbol of integrity in collegiate athletics only to be fired during the 2011 season amid a child sexual-abuse scandal that reverberated throughout the nation, died Sunday. He was 85.
