Man Behind Firing Of Joe Paterno Is Leaving
02.08.13 |
The Penn State trustee who fired football coach Joe Paterno over the phone has announced he is leaving the board. John Surma was vice chairman of the board of trustees when he told Paterno that he was being ousted as Penn State's head coach after 46 seasons during the Sandusky sex abuse scandal. Paterno died two months later at age 85. Penn State says Surma plans to leave the board when his term ends in June. Surma is chairman and CEO of U.S. Steel. He joined the Penn State board in 2007 and was re-elected in 2010.
