A great book. Starting with Joe in his early days in school, working up through the many years as coach at Penn State. It was great to re-live some of those years - I attended Penn State from 1979 to 1983, where the team was national champion - and to hear from those that knew him and that he coached. He worked tirelessly to improve the lives of others, with no hint of self recognition for his actions. He and his family gave millions to the University they loved in order to enhance their lives through eduction and opportunity. Joe had a significant positive impact on the lives of many of his players and the Penn State community and will be missed. Over the many years he clashed with the media and the board of trustees, so much so, that in the end, it was them that threw Joe under the bus without proper due process. Very sad.

As for the Sandusky matter, interesting to learn that Joe and Sandusky never liked each other. Sandusky for Joe as he believed that he should have succeeded Joe, and Joe for Sandusky because he believed that Sandusky was lazy and unorganized. Some believe that the reason the Penn State team's of the early 2000's did not do well is because Sandusky was no longer defensive coordinator.

The 1998 incident with Sandusky was properly handled by law enforcement. Joe should not be in the cross hairs for this.

The 2001 incident with Sandusky was reported by Joe to his superiors at the University. The book & Joe states in retrospect, "I should have done more." With 20-20 hind sight, we can all see this - it is as clear as the blue sky. Morally, Joe should have done more. During that time, however, I would argue that it was not so clear. Sandusky was a master mind at covering up his obsession. I am still of the view that we need to see the cases of Schultz and Curley litigated and the facts presented to better understand what happened during 2001 before judgement can be rendered. That includes (i) taking games way, (ii) fining the University; and (iii) punishing the existing students and players under the recent NCAA sanctions.
