He wasn’t god. He was a man, a successful man in the college football world, and for that he should be remembered and honored.
He also made some pretty stupid management decisions that have only now come to light. That doesn’t take away his football achievements, which are significant, but it doesn’t excuse his management.
Like all of us, he was a complicated and flawed human being. He was not the embodiment of evil, but he was not a saint either.
Any description of him as horribly evil is wrong. But any description of him as saint-like is similarly wrong.
