Bradley is Penn State’s defensive coordinator. He grew up in Pennsylvania and played defensive back for Paterno in the mid-‘70s, and has been considered a potential successor along the way. He took over for Jerry Sandusky in 1999.
The Nittany Lions have three regular season games left, starting this Saturday at home against Nebraska. Paterno had planned to finish out the season, but forced the board of trustees to make the final decision on his future.
