Am I the only one who didn't know who Joe Paterno was?

This thread is the first information I have on him. Not a football fan, so probably won't learn much more about him either.

Once upon a time, there were three giants in Big Ten football. And this was in the day when Big Ten football was a really big deal in college football much more than it is today having been eclipsed by other conferences. The Three Giants were Woody Hayes of Ohio State, Bo Schembechler of Michigan and Joe Paterno of Penn State. Paterno not only coached longer than the other two but survived them as both have long ago passed on.
He was the head coach winning more games in Division I than anybody who ever held that job anywhere. And that is something nobody else can claim.
