Excerpts from a new biography on former Penn State head football coach Joe Paterno are in "GQ Magazine."
 
One excerpt says that Paterno sobbed uncontrollably the day after he was fired by Penn State.
 
The same day, the book claims Paterno told his son Jay, quote, "My name. I have spent my whole life trying to make that name mean something. And now it's gone."
 
Paterno was fired in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal that engulfed Penn State.
 
The book titled "Paterno" will be in bookstores on Tuesday.
