PSU Fans: No Need To Announce JoePa’s Successor
88% of respondents in a poll conducted by the Examiner indicated that the University should not name a successor to replace head coach Joe Paterno when he retires.
If I were to speculate on the reasoning behind the results, it’s because most fans believe either that it’s obviously going to be defensive coordinator Tom Bradley, or Paterno will be able to coach forever by grafting his head to a robot body.

Gorman Abruptly Resigns
Head coach of the men’s soccer program Barry Gorman unexpectedly announced his resignation Monday. He leaves a legacy of 22 years of coaching and three Big Ten titles in his wake. Citing “personal reasons,” he has left the team to a nation-wide search for his successor.
“We expected Gorman to be there,” [rising Senior and Co-Captain Andres] Casais said of next season. “He was a father figure to us.”
Oof, that can’t feel good. The move isn’t completely out of the blue, as Gorman was periodically absent during the past few weeks without notice. But from all accounts, his intention to resign was only revealed yesterday. On the abandonment scale, this registers just slightly above “going to the store for some cigarettes and never coming back.”
