On the list of books that need to be written, another biography of Joe Paterno was not high. I already have Paterno: By The Book, the autobiography, George Paterno’s The Coach From Byzantium, The Lion in Autumn and several others in my personal library. However if anybody is going to write about these interesting times that Penn State’s iconic football coach is going through right now, Joe Posnanski is as good as anyone. Posnanski is the kind of sportswriter you don’t need to follow via RSS, Twitter or whatever, because somebody you know already is following him and will share/RT his latest offering.

Anybody notice that most books about Paterno are written when he is facing challenging times?
