Penn State Paterno firing

Whoa!  The excrement is really hitting the fan at Penn State!

Penn State reacts to firing

First, the Sandusky scandal emerges, and Curley steps down.
Then, a laundry list of other higher-ups are fired or step down.
And, Joe Paterno is fired...resulting in chaos at Penn State.

Now, Ashton Kutcher is getting railed by putting in his 2 cents.

I'm still looking at all the infomation, so I'm far from an expert in any of this.  But, from what I've read so far, it seems that Paterno followed state protocol in this scandal. 
When, he learned of the issue, he reported the issue to the school administrator (Curley).  So, I don't understand the reason for his firing. 
But, maybe that's it...maybe Paterno, as head coach, was expected to take more of a leadership role in dealing with this scandal.

It seems to me that Curley, and other administrators, did not properly handle the situation.  Even if Paterno took the easy way out by reporting it to someone else, the administrators, to which it was reported, to chose to cover it up.

Whoa...I guess the moral to this story is...
keep it in your pants while you're at work!
