Doing 400 of anything is an accomplishment - 400 situps, 400 jump ropes, 400 stair climbs, writing 400 posts. How about coaching a college football team to 400 victories? Consider that only 12 regular season games are played each season, and it used to be 10. Consider also that you don't win every game. Very few undefeated seasons in college football. Add in post season bowl games, and your're still talking a lifetime of coaching to reach this milestone.
Well. yesterday, Joe Paterno - "Jo Pa" - of Penn State attained the 400 victory mark. This record is likely never to be eclipsed. Congratulation Joe, the Penn State players, Penn State fans and alumni, and football fans everywhere.
Talk about dedication and passion for coaching. Clearly he is doing what he loves.
Excellence is hard to hide!

His glasses just seem to get thicker but he still knows how to win and instill positive results from the young men he coaches...
JoePa has given alot back to the community !!! And even when SEVERAL of his early undefeated Penn State teams WEREN'T ALLOWED to compete for the National Championship(pre BCS) he showed great class !!!!!!!
It's a huge milestone, maybe it's a good year to celebrate his retirement at seasons end.
He is definitely a class act and I know his players love him.
Paul,
He obviously is doing something right. :)
