No, he didnt' everything expected of him and he knew about Sandusky earlier.
So now it is 'yankee haters' that are responsible?
McQueery is despised for his cowardice, but Paterno had a far greater responsiblity.
It wasn't 'hearsay' McQueery WITNESSED it, look up the word 'hearsay', you clearly don't have a clue about what you are talking about or care, just putting out smoke.
Keep in mind that Paterno was only a football coach who relayed the information given to him by McQueery to his superiors. That fulfilled his responsibility as a coach. He was not an administrator. What he was told was questionable in that Mr. McQueery did not stop it, or could not tell him who else was involved, not even today can McQueery tell him who the boy was. What else was he supposed to do? If he had gone to the police, they would have asked him who the boy was. They would have asked him where he got the information. What do you suppose Sandusky would have said? What would he have looked like? Given all that, wasn't it McQueery's responsibility? Tell me, why was it Joe Paterno's? "Let's take down the big guy' mentality!
