Paterno Will Coach Penn State This Saturday
But he’ll apparently retire after the season when he would have likely retired anyway. I really can’t believe that he will be on the sidelines in the press box this weekend, and it represents yet another moral failure by Penn State.
[Erik]–Scott just beat me to a post on this so let me chime in. What would Paterno have to do to be fired? Personally rape children? Or would that even be enough? Utterly disgusting.
[SL] As far as I can tell, most media outlets seem to be framing this as “Paterno will be leaving at the end of the year” rather than “Paterno is still coaching the team despite having knowingly allowed a child rapist to remain free.” I don’t understand this.
