Morals trump anything he did as a coach. Everything Joe Pa has touched is tainted now.
OK. But he was a HELL of a coach through the 60's 70's and 80's . YOU CAN'T take that away from him.
same goes for Sandusky if we're just talking about football coaching. when Holtz commented on Sandusky as a coach he referred to him as one of the best if not the best coordinator/assistant head coaches of the 20th century
the football and the ethics issues are obviously separate - but we will no longer lionize either man for their football achievements after what we've learned in the last 2 years

Paterno= great coach /poor excuse for a man.
Thats why you never place any man higher then what he really is. His true colors were revealed. Imagune had none of this had come out. Everyone would be praising him this very minute.

Re Joe Pa's control over the town & university, go back to that period when he was having players arrested right & left, over several yrs, and his response, on a national tv interview was " this is my football team & to me, city & state police have no juridiction over them". He ran that town & university & to say he had no knowledge of the complaints against Sandusky back then is beyond the realm of believabilty. The local press, after he died, came out in several articles mocking that BS. When Sandusky was let go, and he was, Joe Pa released a very generic press statement, as did the athletic department. This for a highly respected coach with yrs & yrs of service to the university & community. BS that Joe Pa did not know anything. A great coach? Yes, of course. But how would you feel bout him if it was one of your sons who was raped & abused in that time period when he knew but did nothing but pass it uphill?
