RIP Joe Paterno

I completely disagree. People expect too much out of him. He was the football coach, that's it. His job was football. He informed his superiors. The athletic director knew, the head of campus police knew. All these people knew and they didn't do anything, but for some reason Joe Pa is getting the most heat about it. The AD should be held more accountable. He could have done more, but it's not like he completely kept it a secret. He went to his boss about it. The AD was the one who should have taken further action. I haven't lost any respect for Joe Pa. He was a great man and a great football coach.

I never said he was the most culpable.

No one makes a career out of reporting pedophiles. It's something that you should no matter what your job is.
