"Coach Paterno was one of the legends of coaching and his passing is very sad for all of his former players and the Penn State family. His accomplishments both on and off the field will never be matched. What he was most proud of though was not what we accomplished, but how we accomplished it - 'success with honor' was his phrase for it. He instilled a spirit in each of us that we were part of something bigger than ourselves and upholding the Penn State tradition. The things I learned at Penn State are still with me today and they have made me a better person and a better coach. My thoughts go out to his family in this extremely difficult time. Rest assured coach Paterno will never be forgotten because his traditions and legacy will be carried on by all of his former players and the fans of Penn State."
