Read More: Penn St. Nittany Lions

Contrary to reports that appeared to come from Joe Paterno's own son, the Penn St. Nittany Lions head coach will not hold a press conference off-campus to discuss the Jerry Sandusky scandal, the New York Times' Pete Thamel reports.

@PeteThamelNYT Was just told that Joe Paterno will NOT be holding a press conference outside the school. He will coach practice today, per usual.    

However, a crowd (which includes Gregg Doyel, apparently) gathering outside of Paterno's house seems to think otherwise:

On both the issue of Paterno's guerilla press conference and of Paterno's retirement, Scott Paterno and the Times are at odds. The paper has also reported Paterno's exit is in the works, which the younger Paterno has denied.

Paterno had a press conference scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, but Penn State president Graham Spanier shut it down as it became clear Paterno would be unable to avoid answering questions about Sandusky and the school's cover-up.
