Joe Paterno

The oldest college football coach in America is still six months younger than Roscoe Bartlett. At 82, Paterno has been facing repeated calls for his retirement for over a decade. Unquestionably, his coaching skills have declined over the years, and he has not won a national title for 22 years. All of his losing seasons have occurred after he turned 74 years of age. More recently, he has turned over increasing responsibilities to his assistant coaches, becoming more of Chairman of the Board than a CEO of his football program.
