He doesn’t work from home on game day of course, but Penn State football legend works out of his home as much as possible according to the Pittsburgh Post Gazette.
His phone and fax give him the ability to communicate that he needs and most of his time is spent watching game videos to prepare the teams overall strategy… something easily done at home — and with no distractions.
He lives 3 blocks from campus and visits the football facility for practices and, of course, the games. Otherwise, he’s working at home – and not because of an injury.
“I don’t like the office,” Paterno said. “I don’t stay there. I work mostly from my house, which is only three blocks away. I have a fax machine there and all my tapes that I watch. I can sit down with a tape for four, five, six hours and not be bothered. I think I’m getting as much done as before.”
Paterno said working from home is not a result of his injury. He said he decided to work from his home office five or six years ago when distractions became a daily occurrence at the football facility. He said he can afford to do that because he has a veteran coaching staff that knows how to go about preparing a team.
