There isn't a faster track to an NFL HCing job that Pats OC. Prestigious or not nobody in the NFL or anywhere else is going to know what they have in BOB 4 years from now unless he pulls off a miracle.

That pretty well defines the thin line between "being busy and distracted" and "abandoning your most important duties for personal gain" that will define much of these cases.

He has a 10 year contract, not a 4 year contract.

People should relax, it's his first game. That defense he has is not suited to the strategy. If anything, his coaching error was to go with an attack style D that is so popular in college. But PSU's defenders are big plodders of the Devon Still/Navorro Bowman type. Hodges and Mauti are not blitz-type attackers. The big guys in the middle are there to pressure the pocket. Yet the D-Co. is playing ultra aggressive D. It's just wrong for the team.

The offensive side of the ball looked really good the first half (despite 2 huge turnovers after long drives). The defense looked awful.

When I read most of the stuff on PSU in the media and from fans, it's clear they are operating on a limited set of facts. If you really want to decied on the culpability for not reporting to police, all you need to do is to look at the last several pages of the Freeh report. Most haven't read it. Not even journalists. Most have only read the newspaper reports based on the early leaks of the emails between the 4 men who decided what to do. Those leaks were released strategically to take the pressure off of politicians and the BOT who were informed about the case well before the grand jury (indeed, Sandusky was outed as a deranged molester back in 2008!).

If you read the Freeh report, you see in evidence handwritten plans in response to the shower molestation that predate the email from Curley by 3 entire weeks. Which begs the question: why was the email released to make it seem as though the plan was hatched on the 28th of Feb. 2001, when it was already designed by attorneys back on Feb. 10th?

Furthermore, the NCAA in its rush to judgment went ahead and added a year of postseason bans, penalties, and fines based on the Freeh report's claim that PSU knew about Sandusky way back in 1998 and did nothing. They even removed wins from that period. It's ironic because Sandusky was investigated and reported to police back in 1998--PSU did what people are clamoring about now. Yet the Freeh report cited a Curley email in which he said Paterno sought an update on where they were with the Sandusky case. This seemed to be a huge lie in which Paterno absolutely knew about 1998. Two days after the NCAA sanctioned PSU, Freeh amended the report to state that this Curley email actually was from 2001 and was incorrectly listed as 1998 in the report. It was this email upon which the NCAA decided to sanction the program all the way back to 1998.

You completely contradicted yourself though?

If they got dealt heavier sanctions such as the death penalty those very same people (as well as the locals and a key part of their economy) that you 'sympathise' with would have been hurt tge most.

The three or four people who covered this up will pay tge ultimate price for their crime. What's suspending the program going to do? No good at all.

iirc he had a clause in that his contract couldn't be terminated within 4 years in the event of the sanctions that eventually came down.

I hope PSU loses every game they play this season.

BTW, many PSU zombies are also PitsDirt Squealer fanboys. What a shock.
