Joe Paterno Widow, We may soon get some more information and a deeper look into the mess that was the Penn State football program in its later years under Joe panterno widow, The widow of the late Joe Paterno has arrived at Beaver Stadium for Penn State's season opener against Ohio.
Sue Paterno and a family member arrived about 15 minutes before kickoff and came in through an employee entrance.
It's the first game at Penn State without a Paterno on the coaching staff since 1949. Joe Paterno started as an assistant in 1950 before being promoted to head coach in 1966.
Paterno was fired in November following 46 seasons, days after former assistant Jerry Sandusky was arrested on child molestation charges. Paterno's son, quarterback coach Jay Paterno, has also left the staff. Sue Paterno was married to her husband for 50 years before he passed in January 2012 from lung cancer. Just two months before, the former Penn State coach was fired from his job after it was revealed that his assistant coach, Jerry Sandusky, was at the center of a sex scandal.
Sandusky was later convicted of 45 counts of child sexual abuse and sentenced to a minimum of 30 years in prison. For the first time since the charges were announced, Sue Paterno will make a public appearance on the Katie Couric show.
Couric paid a visit to Paterno at the home she once shared with her husband in State College, PA, but Sue will also head to New York for an in-studio interview, according to the Hollywood Reporter. She is scheduled to appear on Feb. 11, the same day the installment is scheduled to air.
Sue has respectfully declined to speak to any reporters since the incident, although no comment was made as to what questions she would be answering in the coming interview. Now a year after her husband's death, many have back her with their support.
