my beef with the coaching fraternity used to be just limited to how closed off it was - greg robinson gets great jobs after failure after failure.  if your dad was a coach?  you're in!  it doesn't matter if your dad is hank bullough, he was in the club so your son is in the club.

you just kinda roll your eyes at how they circle the wagons around clearly terrible coaches that should get fired.  every coach is great according to every coach.  but whatever, that's just part of their little club, good for them.

but how does the heir apparent at penn state just up and quit at 55, never get a job again, and no one knows about it?

how many coaches knew about this?  how many knew about second mile?  we have janitors and parents and who knows who else that were aware of this - there's no way the broad coaching community didn't know.  but had this not come out, you'd just hear platitudes about the greatness of joe pa come out of their mouths.

i don't know of a good web resource to use, but i want to come up with a tree of who worked with sandusky and who worked for them.  too many 40 year old guys with young sons within the fraternity for them not to know about him - they might not care about random raped kids, but they care about the kids in the fraternity - in a few years, they'll give those kids jobs they don't deserve, remember.

prior to this news, lots of people around here would point to happy valley as some football utopia... if only we could have their passion.  .  i'd rather have a bandwagon fan base that goes when they're good and skips when they're bad, a fan base that goes to the games once in a while and goes home.  i'd like to think that our fan base wouldn't be scared of a coach whose program profits off child rape.
