Joe Pa
Via Sully,
we see this:
Initially accused in 1998. Retires in 1999. Never coaches college football again. Sandusky was very successful at what he did. The architect of Linebacker U. Helped win national championships in 1982 and 1986. Recognized as college football's top assistant in 1986 and 1999.
Never any stories about Sandusky being pursued for a high-profile job. Never any rumors about him coming out of retirement. But there's no shortage of stories and rumors about Penn State football sweeping problems under the rug, is there?
Why did college football let an accomplished coach like Sandusky walk away at 55? Why did he disappear into relative anonymity?
Which is exactly what
I wonder about his fucking successor!!!!
A side note to the Penn State thing is that Tom Bradley, who will be taking over head coaching duties this Saturday, has been an assistant coach at PSU for 33 years. I mean, wtf? 33 years? As an assistant? Never took flight to be a head coach somewhere else? Really? Either he's a really shitty coach, or there's some REALLY incestuous, creepy way of life once inside the Joe Pa circle. Very bizarre. Bill Guthridge-esque.

Probably just waiting for Pa to retire, that's all.
I agree with you. They've been sweeping crap under the rug and I believe the 1998 case could not possibly been kept from Paterno. I believe there was probably a settlement involved. No charges pressed, money paid out. One of the articles I read states that Paterno felt that Sandusky was spending "too much time with Second Mile, and would never be the next head coach, since " no man can serve two masters." There was another incident prior to the 2002 crime which was also witnessed by a Janitor who ALSO failed to report the crime. What the HELL?
