PennLive The son of former Penn State coach Joe Paterno wrote a letter to Ohio State University head coach Urban Meyer last year in hopes of getting a job with the organization, according to new court documents.
Court documents released on Monday relating to the legal battle between Joe Paterno’s estate and the NCAA. In an appendix of exhibits, there is a letter dated December 23, 2014 from Jay Paterno — Joe’s son — to Meyer, who won the 2015 College Football Playoff National Championship.
In the handwritten letter, Paterno congratulates Meyer for his success and wishes him luck in the playoffs. A paragraph later, Paterno asks Meyer for a job at Ohio State, a longtime Penn State rival.
“This note is also to express my interest in any coaching positions that have opened and may open on your staff in the future,” Paterno wrote. “My father had tremendous respect for you and I share that respect as well. It would be an honor to be a part of your staff.”
Paterno went on to write, “For you [sic] Ohio State — I would bring a diverse set of experiences on and off the field that would be an asset to your program. My career has included success in recruiting, coaching as well as leadership in social media and public relations.”

Funniest article I have read all year. As a matter of fact I was 100% certain this I was reading something on The Onion. Turn’s out it’s all real and thus even funnier.
I am not sure if Jay has really big balls, or is just stupid. He comes out HARD addressing Coach Meyer as “Urban.” I know Jay had an awful father but I’d expect Joe taught a little more respect to address his FAR superiors appropriately. Later in the letter he goes on to claim he had “success in recruiting, coaching as well as leadership in social media and public relations.” LOL No, no, and HELLLLLLL NO. Lol come on Jay, this is lunacy.
Since the Yuppie Yinzer is fair and balanced, lets get Buckeye Nation’s thoughts on bringing aboard Paterno.





Yea sorry Jay, the Buckeye’s seem set on the other former Penn State coach who guys fired…

Fun fact, any time I interview a Penn State alumni I offer the same “cliche interview litmus” question… “Joe Paterno: Heaven or Hell?” No matter how good or bad the interview is up until that point, it tells you all you need to know.
Laughing at that poor poor university, a tradition unlike any other…. hit it.

So what the guy can’t ever work again? He unlike his father is not responsible for what happened at PSU.
