Not Near-Death.......Dead.
Man.

It is sad that a coach with a very long and illustrious career will be most remembered for what he didn't do.

Spot on!

I guess it's sad because he's so old? The long and illustrious career ended when he showed his true colors and complete lack of integrity and looked the other way while kids were getting their lives ruined under his watch. He was in a position of leadership at a college, karma's a bitch.

I wouldn't say he looked the other way...he reported it to his supervisor immediately after hearing the story, thereby fulfilling his legal obligation. What I don't understand, and what will tarnish his reputation with many Americans, is why didn't he follow up after reporting the incident? Most folks will question whether he fulfilled his moral obligation to the kids. He did sound very remorseful in his statement after the story was revealed and I would speculate he went to his grave sorry for not doing more.

While there is no argument about his coaching accomplishments and how many lives he effected in a positive manner but when he was told of what was going on to only meet his legal obligations doesn't really meet the standards of what most people would think a great man would do. I am sorry for his family's loss and I hope he finds piece and forgiveness.

At this point, it's not what he did over the course of his career, but what he didn't do when it really mattered.

Legal obligation? while one of his coaches under him is raping little kids? AYFKM? He was in a long term position of high leadership. Not following through shows a complete lack of integrity. As far as questioning whether he fulfilled his moral obligation, what is there to question? He FAILED. He should have been outraged, instead, he continued to work with the child molester like nothing happened???. He's an accomplice to child rape. POS.

Good riddance.

I'm tired of the "he did everything he should have" and "he reported it to his AD"

HE KNEW of some disgusting and despicable acts taking place... If you have the slightest inkling of a child rapist in your camp, you throw that Fukker under the bus and leave him to dry.....

Exactly. Too bad it's not so cut & dry when it comes to protecting the Sanctity of Religious & other organizations, were kids are preyed upon.

Paterno got off Scot free, as far as I'm concerned.

He worked with that POS for the sake of Penn State football. At least I hope thats why he did it.
Should have hung him high!!!

What people here think of this situation is a lot different than what most of the ifisher's think.

Of course they'd defend him, that site had a pedophile amongst their members for awhile. I don't remember them vilifying him, either.

Kinda ghey posting a thread from another site.

Takes one to know one?
