Jay Paterno is considering a run for Congress in Pennsylvania

Since transitioning from college football assistant coach to politician is such a typical career path, Jay Paterno, former Penn State quarterbacks coach and son of the late Joe Paterno, is considering running for Congress in Pennsylvania, according to the Harrisburg Patriot-News.

Although his father was a noted Republican, Paterno would be running as a Democrat against incumbent Republican Rep. Glenn Thompson in Pennsylvania’s 5th district, which represents 16 counties throughout central and northern Pa, a largely conservative section of the state.

Paterno has not confirmed that he will run, but according to “prominent Democratic figures in Centre County and Pennsylvania,” he has shown interest in the race and will make a decision in “about a month.”

Indications of a possible Paterno campaign were evident when automated phone polls called residents around Pennsylvania, asking who'd they prefer between Paterno and Thompson.
