Re: Boston University 2011-2012 Part V: At least 6 more games, maybe 13... who's with
I agree with you. In fact, if anything, he seems to be "too forthright." Either he's SO confident that he's untouchable that he's comfortable enough to be that candid or he just is at the point where he doesn't care. Because making a statement to the effect that the culture can't be changed seems suicidal in the current climate. It DOES make him look clueless, just like JoePa. And I'm not blaming him, because we don't know all the facts, but sometimes perception is reality and it seems as though the way the program is currently perceived, he can't win - even if he's being honest. The best thing is to just STOP. There's nothing you can say at this point that will lend any credibility to his position. The damage (even if only "perceived") has been done. As for the person who said "that's what Penn State did and ****ed everyone off," what do you want him to say? He can't change what happened, and if he truly was "unaware" and is not "covering anything up," I'd like to know what more you think he should say. "Yeah, I've known about this all along but I was hoping nobody would find out." I mean, really. If it's me, sorry, I say nothing. It's too late to do anything else. Let things die down and see how they play out. For people who say he has to address this immediately, what should he do? Any acknowledgment at this point that he had any knowledge or involvement is a death sentence.
