“No, the Paterno acoloytes are acting like JoPa was a saint who could do no wrong.”
I can only speak for myself... I didn’t particularly like Paterno in my limited exposure to him, though he had many good qualities and cared about his players. I also did not like him as a coach in many ways. I thought the game had passed him by and that he should have retired a decade or more earlier. Also, I would’ve preferred a coach that implemented a split offense...
Having said that, he was tireless and generous in his dealings with students and at psu. I don’t judge a 50+ career by innuendo and unproven allegation, which is what Freeh did.
There are few I believe who would disagree. That does not excuse or absolve him from failing to act decisively and responsibly in regards to protecting innocent children from the serial molester Sandusky..
