Book describes Paterno's reaction to firing

I'm living in PA and can tell you, total embarrassment to the state. It's a very restrictive place to begin with with their Omish / Dutch culture then add to that the poor leadership throughout the state and it's a recipe for disaster. Nobody wanted to deal with it so they just did what they always did which is ignore it. Paterno should have been gone a decade ago.

He was not operating at his former capacity any everyone knew it but did nothing to make the program more progressive. Having a man in his 80's dealing with an issue like this...he was in over his head.
