A four-day tour of Big Ten Conference schools ended Thursday in Happy Valley for ESPN Radio's "The Herd with Colin Cowherd" (the tour also included tapings of "SportsNation" with radio/TV host Colin Cowherd and Michelle Beadle), and Penn State quarterbacks coach Jay Paterno was one of the featured guests during the final show.
While head coaches at other the three other schools on the brief tour (Bret Bielema/Wisconsin, Kirk Ferentz/Iowa, Rich Rodriguez/Michigan) appeared with Cowherd on radio, the younger Paterno filled that role at Penn State.
It was an expected move, because Joe Paterno almost never appears on nationally syndicated radio shows -- because he's a legend and does not need to make such appearances -- and because Jay Paterno thrives in such settings.
He did so again Thursday. During the eight-minute segment, he answered questions about his father's future as coach, compared Penn State's development as a program (some 40 years ago when football in the East was considered suspect) to that of Boise State and offered some entertaining and interesting personal insights.
