A coaching legend is about to see his end. Joe Paterno is being held accountable for knowing about Jerrey Sandusky's acts. Joe Paterno reported it to the people who he was suppose to tell and those higher ups decided to cover up the incident like it didn't happen. Sandusky has been accused of sexually abusing young boys on main Penn State campus and through his charity program called Second Mile. Sandusky has 40 charges against him that involves sexual abuse to minors.
Paterno is one of the few good men left at Penn State and it would be hard to imagine another coach at Penn State. Since Joe Paterno told who he needed to at the university and they failed to go to the police, they are trying to get him to step down as coach of Penn State. He has lost all the support that he had from the university and their trusties. He now only has support of the fans and they all rallied around the Paterno house on Tuesday night.
Joe Paterno became the coach with the most wins in division one college football this season with 409 victories. He has been a coaching icon and has been there for 46 years.
Just to show how impressive this record is here is something to consider. If a coach went undefeated, or 12-0 every season without bowl games it would take him 34 seasons to accomplish. Take a minute and think about that. Joe Paterno is a football legend, and has been a grandfather-like coach. He has decided that he will retire at the end of this year but Penn State has decided to force him out immediately. People remember how you leave, not what you do but hopefully this won't happen to this great man. We still love you Joe Pa.
