I agree with that point. I definitely think he was coaching on fumes the last few years. As a PSU fan I wished that he had retired years ago as I think he had no connection to the kids he was recruiting.
My opinion of JoePa comes mostly from my Aunt and Mother who wen to PSU and took an organizational leadership class from him. They both said it was the best class they have ever taken in their lives. My aunt has multiple masters degrees so she has taken a few.
I think JoePa is guilty of not doing more. But he is third on the list of wrong doing here, Sandusky is #1 and the PSU admins are #2.
I personally just don't think in your late eighties not going pitbull on a man who was your friend destroys 60 years of good will. He did the minimum, that much he admitted. But is was a great man and a top ten coach.
