Before all this shite hit the fan, the consensus by many, if not most, here was that JoPa was senile, crapped on himself, and was not even coherent enough to coach a high school football team. He was, in essence, said to be just a figurehead.

So, can someone explain how this senile old man who could not wipe his own arse and on the verge of full blown dementia (as noted by the masses here) is first in the line of responsibility being Sandusky.

FWIW, I am not defending JoPa at all. I believe he is second or third in line. I never thought the first paragraph applied to JoPa, so there is nothing for me to resolve. But I am interested in how others resolve the dissonance in these two seemingly conflicting notions.

I don't think he was a real head coach, but it certainly seems like he knew what was going on.

Did you read the Freeh report? Why do you think public opinion of him has changed so much this last week. The investigation found that he actually talked the rest of the administration down from going to authorities. The whole "after talking with Joe, I feel like we should discuss it only with Jerry" email.

Up to that time, people thought he was only guilty of not doing something, which can be understood if one is senile. He actually had an active role in the cover up it seems. He is absolutely the second most guilty one here, behind Sandusky.

I see this hipocrisy from both sides. PSU fans said he was still in control until the end (football-wise), other said the opposite.

I thought he was just racking up wins in 2011. In 2001, he was a lot more sane, in 1998 there is no poor old man excuse.
