tschu Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 He should absolutely not coach another game. The videos of him last night show that he isn't in touch with reality and doesn't accept the gravity of the situation. He has shown where his priorities are, and they definitely aren't with the victims. Now I won't be traveling to State College on Saturday, but if I was, I would be genuinely worried about the scene there. Seriously, it might be anywhere from an absolute circus, to downright scary. Just step down RIGHT NOW Joe, for your players' sake and the program's sake. Link to comment
BigRedPowerWagon Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Just imagine the flack PSU fans will get for the history of there program. People give us slack about Phillips, some PSU fan starts to talk smack and the opposing team just says at least my team doesn't rape little boys. It will be like that for them FOREVER. What a sad sad change in events. No, joe should not be there. Link to comment

I thought the fact that he was more worried about the image of his program than protecting innocent children from a monster very clearly showed where his priorities are. Link to comment
knapplc Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 What, exactly, did JoePa think he was reporting to his superior? That's the key question. Something was said to him, and that something was important enough that he went to his superior with it. What was it? Link to comment

sd'sker Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 i can't believe people could be polarized on this, there is no relativism, morally it is black-and-white. 1 Link to comment

You don't look the other way for 9 years when you know someone in your program was seen assaulting a young kid. There are no ifs, ands, or buts. Morally, ts as clear-cut as it goes. Link to comment

No, joe should not be there. you have to believe it would have been better if they would have stopped it at the onset. it would not have been good, but it would be better than this. that is what confuses me, why protect him? you can not keep that a secret forever. what did they gain from protecting a known pederast? it is illogical as it is immoral.

AustinHuskr Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 If JoePa wasn't told the sordid details then it's a big travesty that he's being forced to leave! I can very well imagine a climate where he simply wasn't aware of the gory details..... and as such didn't pay attention to an ex-DC who had a shady reputation. JoePa has been out of touch for a while now, so this might now come as a surprise esp. since it was not football related. Link to comment

Lyons in the Sea of Red. Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I know that the students will be fired up for this game. They obviously support Joe and will be ready to send him out in which they think he deserves, which is respect. I wouldn't be surprised if this were the loudest beaver stadium has been in awhile. I also wouldn't be surprised if there were 10,000 protestors outside the stadium. Link to comment
