Poster suggests that Bradley won't make it to the end of the season because he is saying something publicly which is contrary to the position of the board. I query whether this means that the board wants to make Joe out to be a terrible person.
I need to stop posting? Got it.
They fired Joe Paterno because they realized he is, now and forever after a terrible representative of their university, despite all (409, give or take) of the wonderful things he's done. Among the reasons why he's a terrible representative is that he completely lost perspective and decided that there were things more important than preventing kiddie rape.
Tom Bradley, with his comments, seems to be indicating that he's lost that same perspective.
Now, that said, it's a one-off comment from someone who knew Paterno pretty well -- but if it continues? Yeah, I think it's completely fair to say that he'd need to go too.
