Tressel Resigns per Columbus Dispatch
The Columbus Dispatch is reporting that Jim Tressel has resigned.
Good riddance to bad rubbish. Cheatypants on fire!
He must have seen the full wrath of the NCAA coming. The whole staff should be canned ... or is a 2 game suspenion in the works?
Defensive Coordinator named interim Coach? Where have I heard that before. Anyone remember Lloyd Carr. Seems to me he coached for quite a long time after spending year one as an Interim Coach.
He didnt punch a player.
Hell, I got more respect for Woody than Tressel. Woody had one bad moment. Tressel's been sweeping stuff under the rug and lying for months, if not years.
With anger management issues, but he wasn't a cheater.
Well, this is a real special day for our football team.
No question, Jim.
Tremendous.
Pretty awesome to contrast getting carried off the field after a big bowl win, with leaving in disgrace after getting caught cheating
For OSU's greats.
The disgrace, not the cheating.
Lord Lloyd!
This kicks off Lloyd Carr redemption week with a bang.
Brionte Dunn the Maize and Blue awaits.
was my first thought as well.
What are the chances tOSU takes looks at Mark Dantonio as a potential coaching candidate?
He was assistant there and it would seem not that different from us looking at Hoke as a candidate.
and i think they will look at Gary Patterson and Boise State's head coach, and lastly Mr. Bo Pelini
Gary Patterson seems to be pretty content at TCU and I will say the same thing for Chris Peterson at BSU. Pelini has the ties to that school in Ohio but why would he leave a team that is by all appearances doing well so that he can take a massive rebuild project. Pelini is an idiot and seems to me to be a no-class type of guy but I don't see him going anywhere near that mouse trap.
Came in with the end of Osama's reign of terror.
Left with the end of The Vest's reign of terror.
Hands down the greatest month I have seen thusfar.
He started coaching just Osama hit us hardest and he leaves when Osama is killed. Now we know where Tressel was channeling his strength from!
That is one hell of a coincidence.
Happy Trails Sweatervest!
I have some mixed emotions about this. He did the right thing and got what he deserved. But, he leaves with a 9-1 record against us and I would have loved to see us even up his record before he departed.
Don't worry, by the time the NCAA is done with OSU, that win total will have gone WAAAYY down.
That record is tainted if half of the rumors are true. I have absolutely no doubt that their record would be no better than .500 against Carr had the playing field been level.
He's gonna vacate a bunch of them.
Will it end up as 0-0 once all cheat-less seasons are vacated?
WAHAHAHAHAHA!! Sorry, couldn't hold it in any longer..
The amount of 'urban' and 'meyer' hits is astounding.
A part of me is pretty sad that Michigan didn't have a chance to turn things around against OSU and Tressel. Now it seems like it's the perfect storm for Michigan over the past few months. Everything is setting up very nicely with the OSU shitstorm and how we are cleaning up in recruiting. It's pretty exciting to be a Michigan fan lately.
I keep hearing people lament the fact that we didn't get a chance to beat Tressel and are upset that he is gone....I'm not sure I understand that one. He CHEATED to win. In my opinion, that makes his record against us null and void. I could care less that we didn't get to "beat" him....he left in disgrace and is walking away from a program that is under the NCAA microscope - how much worse could you beat someone?
I really wanted to see Hoke beat Tressel at least once. I know all that matters in the end is wins and losses, but I cannot stand the fact that Tressel has such a great record against us. There was a great hatred that I formed against the guy, but he always had an exceptional team on the field which ultimately was a positive aspect for the Big Ten IME.
Here's to hoping Brady Hoke begins a long-term domination against tOSU and the OSU fans hate him as much as most of us hated Jim Tressel for winning.
GO BLUE!
tressel drinks wine coolers
anyone has ever said about another man
serving out the punishment with the team and all that crap? I'm not sure why I am angry with this whole thing. Is it because I bought in to the "he's different" crap OSU was throwing out or because they'll never be able to even the score with him?
Regardless, he's quit....move on with the speculation of the usual suspects (Pederson, Patterson, Pelini, Meyer, etc). In all honesty, we know the NCAA is about to release the fury on the school. Who really wants to go there at this point? Lane Kiffin's the only one dumb enough to go to a school with that kind of crap rolling down.
How much do you want to bet that osu is still going to give him some kind of hefty compensation, even though, to the best of my knowledge, by resigning he makes that compensation void?
Now that Tressel is done
We can get Bri'onte Dunn!
Damn, i didn't believe the Hoke string of luck until right now. Sorry for my lack of faith
ding song the witch is dead! I still hope the NCAA comes down hard on tsio.
It's your division to lose now.
This is just great. Logic would side with OSU's recruiting class going down the drain.
Liar and a cheater! Would of been nice to see Hokes product beat him!
Whooooo. Amazing news, I did not expect that today
Now lets get it Dunn!
Interesting timing. Why announce on a national holiday? Did they think they could avoid a media firestorm and draw less attention because people wont be at work in front of computers or home watching tv? OR osu caught wind of what was in the article coming out tomorrow and it must be pretty damning. This is like when you are a kid and your parents let you open one present on Christmas Eve before opening the rest the next morning. I was planning on having an awesome day today. Now thats a done deal.
Brett Mussburger just answered your question on ESPN. Yep. Do it either on a holiday or a late Friday afternoon.
Whomever Ohio hires will not be as strong as Tressel. He and his coaching staff had it rolling.
I hate to have had my point validated by him especially after he just spent 5 minutes saying what a great man cheatervest is and how if he had a son he would have wanted him to play football for Tressel. I think the pundits trying to save Tressel's name by saying he made one mistake will have egg on their faces come tomorrow around noon.
ding ding ding. You've won! O$U figured a holiday would take some of the attention away from this story. Pretty smart move IMO.
