Many of us FREEPERS have surmised that he is a state's witness who is turning evidence re: the star prosecution witness vs. the VP, the AD, and perhaps the PSU prez as well.
That would mean there is some agreement for PSU to not "touch him" job-wise right now...
But obviously, everybody knows a new head coach has a right to name who his assts/head of recruiting will be...
I don't think McQueary wants to remain in State College beyond what he has to do re: getting thru these next 3 games & finding a job outside of the region.
FREEPER Lancey Howard is from that region...he mentioned today: McQueery is getting absolutely buried in the local media, both the newspapers and talk radio. Buried. NO WAY does he show his face on the Penn State sidelines (or any other sidelines) ever again. Take that to the bank. [Post #77]
AND: Here is what everybody is suddenly focusing on now that they bagged their big game in Paterno: Mike McQueary, the burly 28-year-old former Penn State quarterback, stumbled upon the naked old man Jerry Sandusky raping a 10-year-old child. McQueary says both of them locked eyes with him. The young boy likely thought, “Oh, thank God! I’m saved!” McQueary then backed away, left the building, and called his Dad. The NEXT DAY the two decided they should go tell Paterno. Trust me, if Carrot Top the Coward shows his face on the Penn State sidelines at Beaver Stadium this Saturday, he will be putting himself at risk. “Ugly” doesn’t begin to cover it. McQueary is history. It is that simple. [Post #84]

This.
He is the star witness. And he is being protected. If you go after him or fire him you run the risk of having his attorney become involved. What his attorney will immediately do is tell him to not say another word and the prosecution of Sandusky comes to a screeching halt.
