Though the final days may have been marked by all the contreversy, I think the man still deserves respect.

He told some guys who threw a ball how to throw the ball that they threw. That man is a hero no matter how many children he allowed to be molested.

The man did alot of good in his life, he wasn't just another football coach. He may not have reported that crap when he should have and he did deserve the punishment for it, but that doesn't take away all the positive that he did. Also he's from a past era that had a different mentality on this stuff. These days people expect and demand that if you see something then you tell someone about it. Back in his day it wasn't like that, people kept to themselves and it was considered rude to intervene in another's buisness. I know this is an extreme example and for those raised in modern times it is near impossible to understand but that's just how things were way back then, you took care of things quietly and didn't make a huge national fuss if you could avoid it. The times changed and he stuck with his old ways and ended up paying for it. Despite this the man did alot of good for alot of people over all the years he was at that school and like I said, even though the good doesn't excuse the mistake he made the mistake also doesn't take away from who he was as a human being.
