Those familiar with his activities have said Spanier was looking to oust JoePa.

I believe I was the first person on FR to post a link to the Grand Jury Presentment. I've tried to stick to facts. I admit that not everything I've posted can be backed with a hyperlink to a reputable third-party source, but I wrote early about how as a child in Seattle in the early 1970s, I put black electrical tape on my white 'backyard' football helmet so that I could be one of Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. I had no familial tie to Pennsylvania or Penn State.

I remember when Sue and Joe Paterno made their first $1 million gift to the Penn State library; when Penn State first started to be called "Linebacker U," when the University of Miami showed up in urban army fatigues for the 1987 Fiesta Bowl joint team pregame banquet and Paterno's team wore coats and ties; the 'moving back of the endzone' games against Alabama; the three undefeated seasons when Penn State didn't win a national championship; Paterno's white socks; and when Penn State joined the Big 10; and so much more.

Which doesn't mean much, except that Paterno was my hero and when I knew he had to go after reading the Presentment twice, it hit me hard. But as a man who has spend more than two decades working with youth, I was concerned about the youth involved, not a football coach that I respected.

I haven't been learning on the go about Penn State or Penn State football since this story broke. I have been learning about the perversion that was covered up for so long, and how expansive it was, and how thin the moral veneer of Paterno and the moral excellence of Penn State football was.

But I have never heard that Spanier has been trying to oust Paterno since he got there. The Board of Trustees has been dealing with Paterno's failing health and the fact that sometimes he seems to be a man in his 80s in a profession for a younger man with energy and vigor. And Joe has been stubborn and has used his power, which has likely frustrated the Board of Trustees.

So I'd like to know your sources that Spanier was trying to oust Paterno.
