It should but I feel sorry for JoePa. He was a great coach and person. But his love for his program and the fear of embarrassment has ruined his rep forever.

Joe "pa" and good person should not be used in the same sentence.

You can't deny he was a legendary coach. He made a huge mistake and will be sadly be remembered for that rather than his record at PSU. I feel just as bad as anyone for the victims, not trying to pretend it wasn't horrific.

Being a legendary coach doesn't make him a great coach.

Protecting a child rapist and giving him the carte blanche to continue doing so is not a mistake. That is willfully turning a blind eye to evil. Joe Paterno was not a good man. He is definitely burning in hell. How anyone can justify it or defend him at this point is beyond comprehension. You need to get your head checked if you don't understand the issues here.

There are still tons of PSU fans defending Paterno in all of this. Truly sickening.

I cant understand why anybody would defend him, all he had to do was open his mouth, and he would have saved a lot of kids, his mouth is open now wanting water to cool down.:devilsmoke:

The "institution" didn't do anything. There were a few people in the administration that allowed crimes to be committed.

If you don't think there would be lots of fans still cheering for UT football, had this happened in Knoxville, you're kidding yourself.

Alright, let's see.

Joe Pa knew about Jerry Sandusky in 2001. Joe Pa, for 10 ten years, let Jerry Sandusky go around and rape kids. Not only that, he initiated the cover up.

So, for ten years, 365 days a year= 3,650 mistakes. That's a mistake every day.

Which means a character flaw. His character flaw? His program (which means himself) was more important than the lives of innocent children. That's a major character flaw. A really bad one. That major character flaw=bad person.

They are putting it inside, so it will still be there, just not outside for everyone to see. Screw that lame ass university. They deserve everything they get, & more.

I think it's just there for now until they find a safe place or decide what to do with it.. I don't think it will be there at the start of the season..

I don't think we have the right to judge anyone on whether they are in hell or not. That's up to God. Nevertheless, he's in hell if he didn't repent (which I heard none of).

He was a good/great coach. A legend in football. But yes, he's ruined for eternity now. Everything is negated. No denying that.
