re: Due to multiple death threats, McQueary will not coach on Saturday

I thought the whole reasoning behind firing Joe-Pa was because he KNEW something about the rape. The same should apply more so to McQueary.

Do you guys realize that Joe Paterno had no superiors on that campus? If Joe Pa snapped his fingers, things got done. Joe Paterno was the only person on that campus that McQueary needed to talk to if he wanted something done with Sandusky. McQueary did tell Joe Pa. McQueary also knew that in 1998 Joe Pa helped to sweep another sexual assault by Sandusky under the rug. So when nothing was done in 2002, McQueary knew that Joe Pa had covered up yet another child molestation case against Sandusky. The prosecutor failed to prosecute in 1998, so McQueary probably knew that 2002 would be futile as well. Who knows what Joe Pa was telling McQueary.

Having said that, I don't have a problem with McQueary being removed from his coaching duties. But, I can see why his case is different than Joe Pa's. Joe Paterno was the only man on that campus with the authority to have Sandusky prosecuted.
