Tom BradleyWITH the firing of Joe Paterno, as the Penn State football coach, the mantle of leadership has now fallen on Tom Bradley.

Bradley will assume head coaching duties for the Penn State football team for the remainder of the 2011 season, replacing long-time head coach Paterno.

NACC said in a report, that in his 33rd season on the staff and 12th supervising one of the nation’s top defenses, Bradley has played a large role in the success of the defense and recruiting efforts during his tenure. Bradley helped develop four All-Americans in the secondary.

In addition to the defensive backs, Bradley also has coached five other positions, including outside linebackers and defensive ends, coordinated the special teams and served as recruiting coordinator.

Bradley was a football letterman at Penn State in 1977-78, a graduate assistant in 1979 and became a full-time staff member in 1980.
