they do at that, and Joe said he was not going to leave college football to the likes of Barry and Jimmy.
He left it to the likes of sandusky.

The likes of Switzer and Jackie Sherrill only cheated because if they hadn't and gotten fired, it would leave college football in the hands of Joe Pa...

I saw that earlier today and I really thought it was petty paypack for Paterno's comments about Barry.
About not taking an NFL job because he didn't want to leave college football to the likes of Switzer & Jackie Sherrill.
Then I read his full statement,

Then I read his full statement,
quote:
Having been in this profession a long time and knowing how close coaching staffs are, I knew that this was a secret that was kept secret. Everyone on that had to have known, the ones that had been around a long time,”
Switzer added that others outside the Penn State program had to have known as well.
“You think that a 13-year assistant ... hasn’t told someone else? His wife? His father? People knew. The community knew,” Switzer said.
“There are more people culpable than just Joe Paterno and the athletic director. There are so many other people that have thought, ‘I could’ve done something about this, too’ that didn’t come forward. That’s the tragedy of it,”

When asked about retirement, Joe Paterno once said that he would not, because it would leave college football in the hands of "the Jackie Sherrills and the Barry Switzers". Paterno apologized to Switzer for the comment, but wrote in his book that he "didnt give a damn about what Sherrill felt."
Posted on 11/10/11 at 10:48 pm to StrangeBrew
Lou Holtz did too. He said that if Paterno didn't know the details it was because he didn't want to know the details.

Why boom? This is just conjecture on Switzer's part.

This is why I'm floored that there are people defending anyone in this situation, including Paterno. To believe the higher ups were totally oblivious to all of this is asinine. People turned a blind a eye. You know of a situation in 1998, then you hear of another situation in 2002, and you still don't feel the need to report it to the police? Inexcusable. That wasn't a mistake, that was deliberate. There's no hindsight with that. That's another bullshite argument by the apologists. This wasn't a player smoking weed in the lockeroom, this was a 60 year old man sodomizing a young boy.

He was fricked whether he turned him in in 2002 or 2011. It didn't matter at that point to him. He dropped the ball when he knew about it in 1998 and because of that, more boys were hurt.
