Joe Paterno Interview 'Tentatively' Scheduled For 1 PM ET, According To Report

Penn St. Nittany Lions head coach Joe Paterno could speak at some point today, according to Nate Bauer of Blue White Illustrated, Rivals' Penn State site. Tom Rinaldi's name appears, meaning this would appear on ESPN, if it indeed were to happen.

Ben Jones@Ben_Jones88 RT @NateBauerBWI: A source has revealed that Tom Rinaldi is tentatively scheduled to interview Joe Paterno at 1 p.m. today.    

Paterno's son, Scott, has insisted that the coach wants to speak, and Tuesday appeared to say he was putting together a chance for his father to do so. Pete Thamel of the New York Times had repeatedly denied that an off-campus press conference for Paterno is in the works, but this wouldn't really be a press conference.

There's also no sure sign that it would be broadcast live, if it actually happens.

Paterno was scheduled to give his regular weekly pregame conference on Tuesday, but Penn State canceled once it became clear nobody was going to ask anything about the Nebraska game.
