Penn State football: A dozen questions as the post-Paterno era begins

This year will be the most closely watched football season in the history of Penn State. The post-Paterno era comes with many questions. Here are 12.

10. JoePa's son

Where is Jay Paterno?

Good question. The new football coaching staff means that Jay, one of Joe Paterno’s sons, is out a job.  Jay had spent 17 years as a Penn State assistant, including the past 12 as the quarterbacks coach. He has publicly defended his departed father and may continue to do so, but for now, he’s probably inclined to keep as low a profile as possible and look to find a new job next season.  He reportedly is contemplating possible options inside and outside of football. If he stays in football, here’s guessing he’ll either land as an assistant with some major program far removed from Pennsylvania or possibly take a head job with a smaller in-state school. Mike McQueary, the former Penn State receivers coach who emerged as the key witness in the Sandusky scandal, also may be using this time to decompress and consider his next steps.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
