Does Joe Paterno Needs To Be Replaced At Penn State

The 23rd rank Penn State Nittany Lions loses to the Alabama Crimson Tide 27-11 , but that is not the issue. The question football fans have is, does Joe Paterno has what it takes to continue to coach? Penn State trailed the entire game,and just had no sense of urgency throughout this game.

 The clock management during the first half was just horrible using all of their timeouts within the first few minutes of the game.The second half was even worse. Down by three scores in the fourth quarter, Penn State played as though they were ahead throughout this game.They took the play clock down to the last second on each play, and just looked lost on offense.

I've watched Penn State for years and have never seen them give up in a game. In this game versus Alabama they gave up. Now it was not the players that gave up, it was the coaches. It was as though they were trying to avoid a blow-out instead of playing the football game like they wanted to win.

Penn State does not have any chance this season if the coaching staff continue to coach this team the way they coached this game. I love Coach Paterno, but I think maybe it's time to get some fresh ideas at Penn State.
