Book describes Paterno's reaction to firing

He did far more good than bad. But, his bad was inexcusible.

It really was. He ruled the roost like a dictator, but failed to take care of the details.... and forgot to care for people and the law along the way.

It's the tragedy of Joe Paterno... a true Greek tragedy. How history writes his escapades and how he will be remembered, or forgotten, is all his own doing.

I feel zero sympathy for Joe and his family. He transferred his money to his wife weeks before he passed to circumvent net-worth value to preempt civil litigation. She's now worth millions. Sorry Joe, hope you burn a little....

Great analogy, so true.
