As part of the unsealing of documents from a 2014 insurance case against Penn State, testimony from former Penn State assistant coach-turned-whistle blower Mike McQueary states former Lions assistants Tom Bradley and Greg Schiano had knowledge of Jerry Sandusky's crimes well before they became public.
McQueary testified in regards to Schiano:
"I can't remember if it was one night or one morning, but that Greg had come into his office white as a ghost and said that he just saw Jerry doing something to a boy in the shower. And that's it. That's all he ever told me."
McQueary also testified Bradley told him of a Sandusky incident he saw in the early 1980's -- "just that someone had seen him, him being Jerry, doing something to a boy" -- in the mid-2000's.
It's worth noting here that, like McQueary, Schiano told his supervisor about what he saw -- which happened to be Tom Bradley -- but did not go to the police. Bradley, from what we know, did not.
McQueary, a former Penn State quarterback, was on Paterno's staff from 2004 through 2011. He has not coached since.
Bradley, a former Penn State defensive back, was on Paterno's staff from his graduation in 1979 through 2011, and served as the Lions' interim head coach after Paterno's firing in November of 2011. He was West Virginia's assistant head coach and defensive line coach in 2014 and is about to enter his second season as UCLA's defensive coordinator.
Schiano served on Paterno's staff for six years in the early-to-mid '90's and, after a successful run as Rutgers's head coach, was at one time mentioned to take over as Paterno's eventual successor. After two seasons as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' head coach and two seasons out of the game, Schiano will enter his first season as Ohio State's assistant head coach and defensive coordinator.
That job, presumably, would serve as Schiano's springboard back into an FBS head coaching position. Today's news, however, could complicate things.

Update> Greg Schiano has responded.
Tom Bradley's agent Brett Senior issued the following statement:
At no time did Tom Bradley ever witness any inappropriate behavior. Nor did he have any knowledge of alleged incidents in the 80's and 90's. He has consistently testified as such. Any assertions to the contrary are false. When he became aware of the 2001 incident it had already been reported to the University administration years earlier.
That final sentence there, well, that sure does seem open to interpretation.
