Jerry Sandusky served as an assistant coach for his entire career, mostly at Pennsylvania State University under Joe Paterno, and was one of the most notable major college football coaches never to have held a head coaching position. He received Assistant Coach of the Year awards in 1986 and 1999.Jerry Sandusky spurned opportunities for head coaching positions, including one with the University of Maryland in 1991, presumably in the ultimately unfulfilled hope of succeeding Paterno as head coach at Penn State.
His final game coaching at Penn State was a notable game for Sandusky. Penn State faced Texas A&M in the 1999 Alamo Bowl in San Antonio, Texas. The Nittany Lions'd defense shut out Texas A&M, 24–0, the only bowl game shutout victory for Penn State under Paterno. Sandusky was recognized in ways usually reserved for a head coach. He was doused with a water bucket and carried to the center of the field on the shoulders of his players.
In November 2011, he was arrested and charged with 40 counts of sexual abuse of young boys over a 15-year period.
