STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Happy Val­ley was per­fect for Joe Paterno, a place where “JoePa” knew best, where he not only won more foot­ball games than any other major col­lege coach, but won them the right way: with integrity and sports­man­ship. A place where char­ac­ter came first, cham­pi­onships second.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — After nearly a half-century on the job, Joe Paterno says he is still get­ting used to the idea of not being Penn State’s foot­ball coach. So is the rest of the shaken cam­pus, after one of the most tumul­tuous days in its his­tory. In less than 24 hours Wednes­day, the win­ningest coach in major col­lege foot­ball announced his retire­ment at the end of the sea­son — then was abruptly fired by the board of trustees.
