There's so much wrong and inaccurate in your post that shows you know nothing but I'll focus on this alone.

Sandusky took a retirement package the spring before the season, about 9 months before the Alamo bowl. That whole season was technically a consultant, not a coach. It was not even close to a sudden retirement after the bowl.

Wow, you just make stuff up. Sure you know firmer players buddy.

For the record I truly believe that Joe knew Jerry had a problem but did not want to deal with it like he would a players drinking or drug problem

In talking to several former players I do know personally Joe would have helped said players with those related troubles and get them help and in many ways help them after college to restart their lives

The problem with the m Jerry deal is this when in Ponarskis book when his son George Scott and Guido Delia asked Joe if he knew anything about what was going on Joe said don't bother me with this s tuff I got football to worry not Jerry

Knowing full well or forgetting ? about the breakfast conversation with Mike Mcquerry twelve years before . For that point and Jay who was recentely asked on Jeds Donahue show about his book and Ponarskis book and claims about the conversation I question what Joe knew and didn't know And from all that There is no way Joe didn't know Jerry had aproblem that and the fact that Jerrys sudden retirement after the Alamo bowl which was a stunnere but to those who knew .

I do believe Joe That knew and passed it on to Curly and the others because as former players have stated he simply did not want to deal with it I feel for Joe here because he had to deal something he did not want to A rotten place to be in Imagine how Mcquerry felt walking in on something that probably shocked him as well Just a sad situation that shou8ld have never been allowed to occur

You = full of shit.

If I gave you names it would blow your mind But I for one am tired of this and this has become what I thought it might become I do wonder how the Paterno family will get the truth ? Only the subsequent trials will shed light apparantely , I for one feel and hope the members of the trustees all rot for what they did and covered up as the same for Emmert and Delany I also hope that in the end all those that are innocent are proven not guilty as well As for Joe I truly believe he was not part of the cover up in any way and was a victim of the arrogance of the BOT but sorry folks until proven in court if possible Joe knew and did little and stated here by others I should have done more Let the legaleze sort this out As for those that can never accept facts that is there problem

Again I am done with this may the truth come out in time and those that deserve to suffer suffer Jerry Emmert Delany and the BOT rot in hell

With the benefit of hindsight, I wish you had been done sooner.

With the benefit of hindsight, I wish he had been gone sooner. Don't fall for the shit of these Penn Live, Panturd Liar, and FOS trolls.

Same tripe, spammed by these asses everywhere they can.

TJ, I looked and cannot find it. Now I'm not even 100% sure it on BWI. Could have been a link from a Twitter post. Sorry I don't have a definitive answer.
It was detailed in its speculation, but followed a logical progression of possibilities/probabilities. I hope that perhaps ChiTown or another regular on both Twitter and here have a better recall of the details. All that said, it was pieced together and speculative based on what we've all read over the years, not based on facts or inside knowledge of events.

Thanks Bob78.
Maybe someone will link it.

I am sure they do as to which I say it depends on who you listen to and what they want to believe In essence Joe himself he admitted he should have done more and he should have as stated don't bother me with this stuff , There are those that will always believe what they want to and no matter what will never change their minds I for one do not drink egg nog but that is besides the point I know this would happen but I am sick of all this If Mcquerry came to Joe which he did and told what he told him and Joe passed this on to Curly which he did then Joe knew , he knew , Legally Joe was ok which everyone has concurred reason being no charges were filed against him for perjury But Curly and Spanier and Shultz when they get their day in court have a lot of explaining to do

This directely involved the BOT as we all know and where the main fault lies , As for Joe sorry guys between 2002 and 2012 hard to forget a break fast conversation and telling your AD what happened and in the deposition Mike claimed Joe said I am sorry you had to see that So again which is correct ? But for crying out loud AFTER THE MORNING BREAKFAST JOE DIDN'T KNOW ?

When somebody gets the "benefit of hindsight" quote wrong, it proves how stupid they are OR the agenda they continue to promote... You're an idiot, either way!
