Over the past few days, more and more people are starting to turn on Joe Paterno and calling for him to resign as Penn State head football coach due to the scandal involving his former assistant coach, Jerry Sandusky. However,
last night in State College, Pennsylvania, a few hundred students rallied outside of Paterno's house to support the coach as he returned home after practice.
Paterno's official press conference was cancelled by the school earlier in the day, so JoePa used this opportunity to speak directly to the students.
First, he leaned out of his window to thank the students for their support:

Paterno then came outside to his front lawn to address the students about the situation:

Unfortunately, despite the support from this group of students, it is looking more and more like we are witnessing a sad end to Paterno's career. It will be difficult for Penn State to justify keeping Paterno as head coach once this season ends.
