How come none of his players or the other coaches knew? Paterno was a great football coach, but far from All-Knowing and All-Seeing.

You have already convicted him on charges not made against him, so there is nothing else I can say to change that. I'll wait for the facts before passing judgement.
When nothing had been done regarding Sandusky, Paterno had the moral obligation to contact the police. Yes, he should have started his own investigation by contacting people who don't have the incentive to cover the situation up.

By the end of the "internal investigation" Paterno must have known about the decision to take away Sandusky's key. Why would they do this, if it was a baseless accusation? There is so much doubt in that situation, that any reasonable person would have said, hold on, I see some red flags here, I don't think something is right here. Sandusky is punished but isn't accused or tried? Why? The graduate student to Paterno was very concerned and yet it turned out to be nothing?

You are waiting for the facts, because the facts that have already come out are not in your favor. As far as I am concerned you waiting to pass judgement until a jury's decision is like asking for everyone to reserve judgement on O.J. Simpson until the trial is over.
