[Professor H]

I think the media had as much to do with his early demise as the disease he was battling.   Sad - but hopefully in the future people will remember him as a coach and not for the extraneous activities that took place at the school - even if it was under his "watch".

I had said to a friend during the season last year that JoePa would pass away within a year of his being done with coaching.  Some people are afflicted that way, I think the activity of their lives keeps them alive regardless of what their bodies are enduring.

College football will never have another like JoePa and Fuzz I think you nailed it, he did his due diligence in reporting the situation along... outside of that he was the Head Football coach of Penn St., not the moral barometer, not the guidance counselor, not the campus police.  Just because the person he reported the incident to did not fulfill his duties or became in fact complicit with the incident should have never reflected on Paterno... it sure hasn't Jim Boeheim, and the circumstances there are almost EXACTLY the same.
