Penn State football coach Joe Paterno has decided to retire at the end of the season, according to a person familiar with the decision. Paterno has been besieged by criticism since former defensive coordinator and one-time heir apparent Jerry Sandusky was charged with molesting eight young boys between 1994 and 2009. Athletic director Tim Curley and vice president Gary Schultz have been charged with failing to notify authorities after an eyewitness reported a 2002 assault.
