OT - Tressel gets a new job

As a gameday consultant for the Colts.  whatever that means.

[edit] - now with link: http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/6922766/indianapolis-colts-hire-jim-tr...

he's going to be looking at instant replay.  honestly, that's a shitty job.  i hope he hates it and gets every replay wrong.

It's someone who sits up in the replay booth and watches every play. His job is to alert the Head coach or one of the cordinators about a play that they should challenge or ask the official to review.

Caldwell says Tressel will serve primarily as a consultant on replays, which will allow the other coaches to focus on their individual jobs without having to worry about making decisions on replay reviews.

If he sees a bad call on a third down play that would give the Colts a first down will he still want them to challenge it?  After all, his favorite play is the punt.

After the Colts/Bengals game I was waiting by the Colts buses to say hello to my friend who is on the Colts. Before any Colts came out, I noticed a red Mustang leaving under police escort. Who was driving the Mustang? None other than Jim Tressel. If it makes everyone feel better, a couple people heckled him as he drove off (his windows were open).

I know from experience dude. If you know what I mean.

This is the universe telling you that you shouldn't be a Colts fan.

This has nothing to do with Michigan football.

I don't understand why Tressel would take this job.  With his knowledge of X's and O's, I can't imagine he couldn't get a better job in the NFL than that!  And if not this year, he's got enough money to take at least one year off (I assume).  Its embarrassing!

Totally agree.  This sounds like a job for a 22-year old who's putting in his work to start a coaching career.

On the bright side, the NCAA might actually have a "look what can happen to you if you cheat" poster child for coaches.

i like the colts enough to dislike the patriots (and tom brady) despite tom brady, but this is one bridge too far...

Maybe he was hired to work around the salary cap.  Seems like he had a good deal of experience while at OSU.

If he misses a key replay, is that a failure to report or a failure to monitor? 

Seems like he possesses both of these skills.

Does this make sense to anyone?  Why would Tressel take this job?  Does it count as being on an NFL coahing staff?  Unless, it pays really well in which case I will have another reason to question my job choice.

I like the hire. As a Titans fan, it gives me yet another reason to hate Indy.

In related news I saw where Bruce Pearl took a marketing exec job with HT Hackney Co. Laying low and getting paid is probably the better route to go if the SweatVest wants to coach again.

Back in Bo's day Michigan may have hated OSU but Bo and fans respected Woody after he was fired. I've seen the videos of Bo and Woody and -- once their competition was over after Woody was fired -- they resumed their friendship. Bo acknowledged Woody's greatness (and winning record against UM) and Woody acknowledged Bo's winning record against OSU and against Woody himself.

Tressel's gone, he was 8-1 (or 9-1) against Michigan and he deserves respect.

I'm not sure why folks are behaving so bitterly. It's on Michigan to beat OSU and Yressel shouldn't be blamed for his incredible success. I respect him. It is good for Michigan that he's gone.

I'm sick of all the negativity. Why can't people focus on football -- Michigan football -- and not be so caught up in sour grapes?

Tressel is a liar. AFAIK, Woody was a lot of things, but dishonest was not one of them. If Tressel had integrity and cared about the rivalry enough not to sully it with lies, he would be respected. Cooper, Carr, Bo, Woody, those guys are respected. Save your respect for the people who have earned respect.

No. He cheated. Woody may have been a bit crazy, but not a cheater. I'll never respect a cheat.
