STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - Joe Paterno sobbed while meeting with his coaches and a former player the day after he was fired from Penn State, according to an excerpt from a biography of Paterno.
"My name. I have spent my whole life trying to make that name mean something," the Hall of Fame coach was quoted in the excerpt as telling his son and quarterbacks coach, Jay. "And now it's gone."
School trustees fired Paterno in November in the fallout from the Jerry Sandusky child sex-abuse scandal. He died in January at age 85.
The September issue of GQ magazine features an exclusive excerpt from Paterno. The coach had granted access to journalist Joe Posnanski in 2011 to write the biography, which will be available in bookstores on Tuesday.
