Jay Paterno, Ohio State assistant?

A letter has surfaced indicating Paterno, the son of the long-time Penn State head coach Joe Paterno, wrote a letter to Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer last winter to express interest in a job on Meyer's staff.

Although no job is specified, Ohio State had an opening at quarterbacks coach following the departure of Tom Herman, who became the head coach at the University of Houston. The job was eventually filled by Tim Beck, an Ohio native who most recently was offensive coordinator at Nebraska.
