We will remember him for being one of the few people who tolerated child molestation that the public still likes because he was involved with football.

Enabling a child molester to continue hurting kids. Throw his career in the toilet. Nothing he did as a coach makes up for what he failed to do as a responsible adult. Hell has one less empty seat.

He was a good coach, and like everyone, had his flaws. He should have reported the misconduct, but didn't. I don't make him out to be a hero or demonize him.

Had Paterno retired the year he turned 70, he would have retired before the first creepy incidents involving Sandusky occurred, and so Paterno's reputation would have been untarnished.
By the time Paterno was told that Sandusky was a pervert, age had probably damaged his moral judgement.
Paterno held on to the head coach's job for far too long, in order to run up the score. He wanted career stats that would remain a record into the 22nd century. This was a manifestation of the sin of pride.Like (1)

It's hard to judge an entire long life based only on Paterno's association with Sandusky (who allegedly committed the crimes). This is not to say Paterno didn't use faulty judgement---the whole business was unfortunate and sordid. It also could be imagined that Paterno died not just from the cancer itself but because he considered his life basically over, and stopped fighting.
