You don't fire this man because he didn't go over the heads of his bosses. He reported it, he testified, he did what his job was to do. He did his job and is not guilty of any felonies; Paterno shouldn't have been fired. And at the end of the season, was going to retire. So you boot the man so you can save face & look good in front of the bloggers and keyboard warriors who are begging for drama?

If you're going to bring into question "What someone didn't do" in this situation, it shouldn't be Joe Paterno. How about saying "Wait, did the 28-year old Mike McQueary see this act, not interrupt it, turn around and go home?"

There's a difference between "I heard through the grapevine, but I'll report it to my higher-ups, because I didn't first-hand witness it," and "I saw this with my own two eyes, I'm reporting this to the police."

and folks, this happened in 2002.

i agree. he did what he was supposed to do. anyone that swept it under the rug after he reported it should be held responsible, not paterno.
