Mike McQueary: Report Claims Coach Will Not Be on Penn St. Sidelines Saturday

So maybe Mike McQueary isn’t coaching on Saturday after all.

Millions of people were outraged to hear that one of the men who failed to stop a young boy from getting raped in the Penn State showers would be able to continue his duties as a receivers coach with Penn State.

Head coach Joe Paterno has already been fired, so why wouldn’t an assistant that was just as guilty?

Now SportsByBrooks is reporting he may not be on the sidelines after all:

This is the only move to make by the Penn State officials at this point, but remember: Right now this is only a report. Nothing has been confirmed yet. 

If Paterno, a man involved in the PSU program since the 1950’s gets fired, clearly the guy that was just as guilty of moral corruption should as well.

Nobody really knows what to expect from the circus that is going to occur on Saturday when No. 12 Penn State hosts No. 19 Nebraska, but there was little doubt the safety of McQueary would be in question.

With Paterno out of the picture, all of the focus would turn to McQueary. There would be endless camera shots of the redhead, and horrific signs from fans in the stands of Beaver Stadium. Did I mention this game is being televised by ESPN?

If Paterno didn’t survive this, or athletic director Tim Curley, or vice president Gary Schultz or president Graham Spanier…why should the man who actually witnessed the event be the only one to keep his job?

Yahoo! Sports Pat Forde asks a few more questions that currently don’t have answers:

"

More troubling is the reaction over time. If the scene was as the grand jury presentment depicted – graphic, horrible, enough to leave McQueary “distraught” – how does he keep working at Penn State for nine years? How does he keep going to the office building where Jerry Sandusky was a regular presence? How do you look at that man on a routine basis and apparently just shrug it off?

What about in 2007, when – according to the grand jury’s finding of facts – Sandusky brought another child to preseason Penn State practices? Surely McQueary would have seen him there, the alleged rapist in the company of a new potential victim. Was there any attempt at that point to blow the whistle anew? Wouldn’t that sight be more than a man could tolerate without acting?

"

The circus is too big. Too many unanswered questions. Too many raw emotions floating around the State College air.

Let’s hope this report is true because I have a bad feeling that a visible McQueary on Saturday is going to have a terrible ending.

As if this story needed more shocking news.
