was it paterno's job to tell other asst coaches? I mean, I do feel as though as he's culpable some, but he did what he was supposed to do. - mandy Nov 7, 07:27 20
- He reported it to the AD who sat on it basically. - Will Hunting Nov 7, 07:32 19
  - Here is my problem with this line of thinking... - David Nov 7, 08:00 3

  - I think the question of done-ness is slightly more complex than that. I think paterno could be done *if* it made to look like spanier knew nothing. - mandy Nov 7, 07:40 7
    - JoePa's 83 years old...they've been looking to move him for a decade... - Will Hunting Nov 7, 07:44 6
      - but have they been looking to move him in large part because of this? I mean, that's what people are wondering. that's what people who may have ways - mandy Nov 7, 07:46 5
        
        No, there are a dozen reasons to move him onward that don't revolve around this - Will Hunting Nov 7, 07:50 4
        
        Although the interesting question here is why this story broke only days after he got the record. - David Nov 7, 08:02 3
        
        I'm more wondering why it took 6 years to get the story rolling. - Will Hunting Nov 7, 08:07 2
        
        That's what happens during a cover-up. - David Nov 7, 08:13 1
        
        here's a decent student-written piece on this. I don't have the reverence for football here that most do, but I think - amanda in the stacks Nov 7, 08:20
  - right, I think this will be the thing that gives people the reason to push him out. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 7, 07:39 6
    - He's about 85, isn't he? Seems kind of a no-brainer for him to step down. -- nm - mara Nov 7, 07:40 5
      - JoePa probably has done more to make PSU relevent than any coach for any university in modern sports. - Will Hunting Nov 7, 07:43 3

        sorry about my typos here. wow. am I drunk? -- nm - mandy Nov 7, 07:53
        
        Oh, I didn't think it would painless. Just a given. -- nm - mara Nov 7, 07:49
      - it was a no-brainer in 2002 for him to retire at 74 or whatever. the man doesn't want to stop coaching. he's an institution. - mandy Nov 7, 07:42
