College football ? Forty-six years after it hired Joe Paterno as its head football coach, Penn State reportedly has replaced the tarnished legend with another middle-aged Brown graduate.
According to an ESPN report late Thursday night, New England Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O?Brien has agreed to succeed Paterno, who was dismissed in November after a child sex-abuse scandal rocked the Nittany Lions? program he had built into a national symbol.
