roadmanwknr Sources have told me that Akron will hold a press conference tomorrow to announce that Jim Tressel has been hired by the university 2/1/12 8:23 PM |
That was retweeted by Angelique Changelis. anyone heard anything about this?
UPDATE: This Cleveland blog is following the story as well. Apparently it's an administrative role.
UPDATE II: And now it's official.
I thought Akron
The NCAA decided to allow
The NCAA decided to allow them to have 3 coaching staffs as it would not give them an unfair advantage.
You have it all wrong..
He's going from Akron State to Akron
Akron State, Akron or Ohio
Akron State, Akron or Ohio State, Ohio. It's all the same thing.
HOKE SMASH.
I must correct you
The proper name is "The Akron State", only used by the special alums of those fightin' Bobcats
.
Show some respect, please. They're the Golden Bobcats, not the Fighting Bobcats.

I see this happeneing...
He will build his staff and get his program instituted and in 4 years once he has the foundation set, and his show cause expires, he will step in as head coach and hit the ground running with no transtition. this is disgusting and a HUGE slap in the face to the NCAA. the only good thing is, in a couple years akron will be stealing recruits from Urban.
Wherever you go, Go Blue!

"hired by the University" is
"hired by the University" is an interesting phrasing. I guess show-cause wouldn't apply if he's not a football coach. His football lectures were epic I hear, maybe he's a professor.
Go Blue!
I was thinking the exact same
I was thinking the exact same thing. Can he even be involved with the football team?

Show Cause
Didn't he get hit with a Show Cause? Doesn't any school who hires him have to go through hell and back to justify it?
You actually believed that?
You actually believed that? This is St. Tresel we're talking about here! The NCAA totally owes him one for letting the lid off of the ohio scandal that got him canned, they'll probably chip in a few bucks for his salary cuz he's such a super duper fella!
Yeah, I was wondering the
Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. Majorly confused here.
Go Blue! Always!

I was drinking soda and spit it out reading the Douchebag thing. I told my wife the other day that PA residents look like the smartest people on earth because they are smack in the middle of two states that have the most Dbags in the country. Dirty Jersey and Ohio.
Thats how I roll!

An alumni of Akron. I cannot wait to win at all costs. All kidding aside I am not too happy with this.
Thank the Lord I love the Univ. of Michigan. So nice to win and conduct business with class.

Master Plan...
This has to be part of the "In The Event Terry Bowden Doesn't Work Out And We're Desperate" plan at Akron, I imagine....
Apparently, Tressel and Akron share "a common interest in innovative programs for student success"

There's so much humor
There's so much humor possibility in that statement. Just the word "innovative" alone is good for a couple dozen decent jokes. Getting innovative with the rule book is a good start.

a good start?
The good start line, plus the reference to Ohio people, makes the following mandatory.
I think Tressel has changed the tide on the MAC. Hell people in Akron are starting to enable him. Never in a million years I would have thought that. Getting innovative with the rule book is a good start.

Akron is on the schedule next year.

Tressel the cheat
He'll probably be in charge of fixing raffles and whatnot. They probably think he can somehow help them when we play them, comical people being comical
Nice...
Here's a quote from what Akron sent the reporter:
We share a common interest in innovative programs for student success.
It can definitely be said that Tressel was "innovative" at providing extra benefits to players. Is that what they mean by "student success?"
No.
That department title has just been changed to "Department of Non-Compliance".
For the record, they also considered Department of Duplicity, Department of Dirty Pool, and Department of Baldfaced Illicitness. I think they made the right choice.
It would be a great
time to start a Tatoo parlor in Akron!!!
It's tough being Blue in Columbus!!!
Tressell
It's very apparent that Ohio or Mr. T did not get slapped hard enough with sanctions to really have them learn a lesson. Ohio has a top 5 recruiting class and after a year Tressell will be coaching in colege again. WTF!!!

Didn't the NCAA include a five year show cause order when they were smacking Ohio on the wrist which was to have kept old Tress out of coaching college ball for five years?
He wouldn't coach, just be an
He wouldn't coach, just be an administrator. Not necessarily even part of the football program, technically anyways.
COYS and lets go Detroit FC!
Administrator?
Administration is what got him fired at Ohio. It's pretty much his worst ability.
I thought Akron just fired him!!?!
