Crappy football coaches don't become the faces of their universities, they get b**ed at, fired, and forgotten. Initially, yes, but because he was so well-respected and loved by all who he coached and mentored, that got him a lot of leeway and kept him his job through a lot of extremely mediocre seasons that many coaches would have been replaced for. It goes both ways. He made some horrific lapses in judgment with regard to a man he considered a friend, and he rightfully got fired for those blunders, and his reputation got rightfully tarnished by it.

Legally, yes, Paterno covered his bases, but "just following school policy, no more no less" is not the sort of example he should be setting from his position. It does set a bad example but can the school itself even claim to be above that? His superiors told him to do nothing so how can they fire him on the grounds that he should have disobeyed them and done more? -- http://img.imgcake.com/fitgirljpgta.jpg <cite>EndOfDiscOne posted [p:699757] in someone ex...

He followed the school policy in reporting the incident.Even taking everything at face value and presuming that Paterno didn't have any prior knowledge of Sandusky's alleged actions (which is a stretch), it still sets a very bad example for someone touted as a leader of men to just do the bare minimum of what's required when something this serious is at stake.Legally, yes, Paterno covered his bases, but "just following school policy, no more no less" is not the sort of example he should be setting from his position.It does set a bad example but can the school itself even claim to be above that?

That is definitely not why he got to keep his job. -- (Maniac64 at work) Guns don't kill people, Kinder eggs do.

neonreap 01/23/12 8:53:00 AM #36:	He passed allegations up to the person he was supposed to. That's not to say he fought the good fight, but if you spent your life loving the guy, he possibly did enough for people to convince themselves things weren't that bad. -- where is mankriks wife <cite>neonreap posted [p:699760] in someone ex...

LeonhartFour 01/23/12 9:30:00 AM #39:	Maybe because people want to remember the good things he did do over those 46 years. Yes, he made an awful decision toward the end of his career, but I don't see how that automatically cancels out every good thing he ever did in his life. It's not like we found out he was a mass murderer and every good thing he ever said or did was a lie or something. I'm not trying to condone what he did by any means. It was wrong, and he was rightfully fired for his negligence. But that doesn't mean he's now a horrific human being who never accomplished anything of worth. -- http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/8718/leonflowchart.png <cite>LeonhartFour posted [p:699763] in someone ex...
