He's fallen on his sword. The mob has it's blood. Leave him be.

But the only interests being served here are Paterno's and Penn State's. If the 84-year-old coach is given the freedom to dictate the terms of his departure, it means that university officials will have shown again that they are unwilling and unprepared to confront their legendary football coach.
[+] EnlargeAP Photo/Gene J. PuskarPenn State cannot afford to allow Joe Paterno to orchestrate his own exit strategy.
Paterno shouldn't be given the opportunity to coach another game, whether he does it walking the sideline or sitting in the press box. He doesn't deserve to see these seniors -- whose last game in Beaver Stadium on Saturday will be memorable for all the wrong reasons -- play their final home game. He doesn't deserve to be celebrated or supported as he concludes a career now tarnished by his reprehensible, implausible inaction against a former assistant who stands accused of unspeakable crimes against children.
The board fired him last night. He will not be on the sidelines or in the press box on Saturday, or any other day.
And the University President as well.
The media circus has their blood.
