There's doing what you're "supposed" to do and then there's doing what a moral sense requires you to do. One simple little comment to your boss does not a formal complaint make. He should have fired the guy, or reported him to the police rather than to the cover-up officials above.
Once you fire a guy, any subsequent coach/school asking about the coach could be told what the problem is. Actually, an active child predator needs to be reported to the police; firing just makes him go into hiding, doing the same dirty deeds elsewhere.
This does not apply to my heroin/cocaine habit, however.
Your comments point out how little you know about what happened and how you have bought into the media edition without any examination of the facts.
Sandusky did not work for Paterno in 2001. He had retired in 1999. Thus, Paterno could not fire him. There have been many stupid suggestions as to what Paterno should have done to include one from someone who should be able to cognitively think about in Mike Lupica.
Lupica has stated that Paterno should have demanded that Sandusky report to him and confront him.
Same issue. Sandusky could have told Paterno to go fly a kite.
Paterno was never accused by any law enforcement entity, was not indicted, had Linda Kelly, the AG, state that Paterno had cooperated fully and was not considered a subject of investigation, further had Frank Fina, the prosecutor in the Sandusky trial with subpoena power, state that the AG had found no evidence that Paterno was involved in a cover up.
No one at PSU has been convicted of anything in a court and you have to be kidding me if you believe that the Curley/Schultz/Spanier trial will ever take place as the state of PA does not want the resounding ass kicking it will get at a trial when the other side gets to cross examine witnesses and present their own side of the case as opposed to Lewis Freeh, without subpoena power, blathering about guilt with no evidence and no cross examination, FULLY DIVULGING IN THE REPORT THAT WHAT HE WAS ALLEGING WAS POSSIBLE, NOT PROBABLE.
And, by the way, the NCAA came out with a policy about 6 months ago as to what an employee should do if they are made aware of a similar situation.
TA DA !!! - "Report it to your supervisor"
You would have to believe that the NCAA policy was vetted by dozens of lawyers and human relations experts
So the NCAA, with the assistance from a number of experts, took about 3.5 years to come up with the same solution that Joe Paterno came up with in about 24 hours just by himself.
Of course, don't let any facts get in the way when your mind is already made up.
