Joe Paterno doesn’t deserve a pass because he was a good football coach. At worst, he knowingly ignored accusations of predatory behavior, including molestation, of boys by his DC, in the various football buildings at Penn State. Joe Paterno didn’t give a shite about anyone but Joe Paterno and his “legacy”.

Out of order, I'll show you out of order! You don't know what out of order is, Mr. Trask. I'd show you, but I'm too old, I'm too tired, I'm too frickin' blind. If I were the man I was five years ago, I'd take a FLAMETHROWER to this place! Out of order? Who the hell do you think you're talkin' to? I've been around, you know? There was a time I could see. And I have seen. Boys like these, younger than these, their arms torn out, their legs ripped off. But there isn't nothin' like the sight of an amputated spirit. There is no prosthetic for that. You think you're merely sending this splendid foot soldier back home to Oregon with his tail between his legs, but I say you are... executin' his soul! And why? Because he's not a Bairdman. Bairdmen. You hurt this boy, you're gonna be Baird bums, the lot of ya. And Harry, Jimmy, Trent, wherever you are out there, frick YOU TOO!

It's likely he knew about the allegations and willfully ignored them, however he's dead and will never face any sort of real trial or due process those accusations. I get the feeling this will be an overly melodramatic hit piece on him trying to make him look as monstrous as possible, which is easy to do against a dead guy. I hope it's "fair" in the sense they present the facts and the accusations and allow the viewers to come to their own conclusions (which will likely not be pro-Joe)

If it is “likely” that he knew about boys getting pounded in the arse by his DC I think he deserves whatever heat he gets.

I think that story goes a lot deeper than Sandusky.
