The boss is back on the field at Penn State.
Exchanging a cane for a new hip, Hall of Fame coach Joe Paterno will return to the sideline Saturday when the No. 9 Nittany Lions host Akron in the season opener.
He's bringing Sean Lee with him, too, after his star linebacker missed 2008 with an injured right knee.
Lee can't tell who is more excited to be back on the Beaver Stadium turf.
"I don't know," he said with a laugh, pondering for a few seconds. "I know (Paterno) is going to be excited to be out there with us. ... He takes pride being on the sideline."
The 82-year-old Paterno coached the final seven games of the 2008 season from various press boxes, ailing from a hip he hurt while trying to boot an onside kick in practice a year ago.
He underwent surgery Nov. 23, the day after the Nittany Lions routed Michigan State to clinch the Big Ten and the Rose Bowl berth.
This will be another milestone year for a Hall-of-Fame coach whose resume is already full of accomplishments _ a mind-boggling 60 years at Penn State: 16 as an assistant, the next 44 as the man in charge.
His 383 victories place him one ahead of Florida State's Bobby Bowden for most wins among major college coaches.
