The Blue Board

Yeah I thought we should have stood by him. Hell of a coach and a better person. Obviously he made a mistake, but I wish we hadn't thrown out a great man for one eff up.

Yeah I loved the clip of Matt Millen saying he was talking up Tress to every NFL team he could, trying to get him outta there any way he could

Thanks y'all, I've been in an argument with another poster on my home board about how we should go for him if chiz does indeed fall through. He said that he was a cheater and did not do well in the big ten. I know it's mainly wishful thinking but it would be a hell of a hire. I agree, the guy can coach and he always seemed so well reserved and classy. Plus his sweater vest and tie was thing was awesome, dude has style.

Damn. That really sucks. But like I said mainly just wishful thinking anyhow.

It's theoretically possible, but I'm not aware of any coach ever hired by an NCAA member school while under a show cause order. Here is a wiki page on it. It sounds like very few ever return to coaching at the NCAA level even after the show cause has expired.

I shudder to think at how much Tress could transform TAMU for the better, especially with all the talent there is down in Texas.

F U Suckeye.

Tress will go down as a legend in the Ohio State community. 10-15 years from now people will forget/forgive Tress for his fault. He's a terrific coach and even better man. Right up there with the great, late Woody Hayes. Might have even surpassed him had he still been here. If he ever decides to come back somewhere, he'll make that program proud. You'll just have to deal with his conservative nature, esp. on offense. Ugh! But he won so many damn games with it that it's really hard to fault him.

IMHO, I don't think Urban will top the success level of Tress. Urbs might win a championship or 2 more, but beating your hated rival 9/10 times is almost going to be impossible to top. He owned the B1G (I know, not saying much, but still), owned tTUN, won multiple conference/outright championships, a national championship, 3 overall appearances in the big dance, 5 bowl wins, Heisman Trophy winner, all-Americans, great recruiter, on and on.

He's right behind Woody in my all-time favorite Buckeye coaches.

LOLZ.

Do me a favor. Next time you see your friend, just slap him across the face. I understand many average fans don't know much outside of their own teams. However, a college football fan should not say Tressel "did not do well in the big ten." There are many things fans can say about Tressel and his national perception. However, his B1G dominance should be known by everyone that watches college football.

Thought we were Ebuddies
