Paterno's Salary

[Heaven&Hoops]

The only reason people want to know what Joe makes is because they want to see how much he has been overpaid the past 4 seasons. I hope the give him a billion dollars and an life-time contract. I also hope he lives forever!

Joe Paterno has never had a contract with Penn State, i do not suppose he ever will.

[HOLLYWOOD]

He gets paid in cash and he keeps his money safely in a barrel at his house!! New Times and New Age, Time for Joe to head out!! Love him as coach but just enough is a enough

[The Ancient Enemy]

Love him as a coach? You run Joe Paterno into the ground on an almost daily basis. Nevermind the fact that he gave your brother an unbelievable opportunity and you yourself as well. Stay classy as usual, Hollywood.

[HOLLYWOOD]

I never smacked him as a coach, just his team! He is one of the best coaches of all-time! Why do you have to say he gave us a great opportunity? We had many outs to go anywhere in the country so it was not the only place either of us could have gone! So don't get too fired up there AE!

I know you and Joe had opportunties elsewhere, Hollywood, you're the first one to make sure no one forgets that. But an opportunity to play for a big program like PSU is still a great opportunity, regardless of where you ended up. They thought high enough of you two to throw the offer on the table.
