The Browns Board

  • I am surprised that all of the talk these past few days is all about Harbaugh as being the most attractive coaching option in the NFL. Why not Tressell?

    The only knock against Tressell is his record against SEC teams but other than that he is a great coach and has proven his abilities at YSU and Ohio State.

    Maybe Homlgren will give him a call after the Arkansas game tonight which should be an OSU victory.

    my two cents.

  • Because Ohio State would then suck.

  • He could turn the Browns around. Ohio State would still find an A Plus coach to take his spot.

  • Hes not going anywhere. Move along folks nothing to see here...

  • why not just contract the steelers?

    aren't you the same steeler's troll who mocked our fanship with an earlier thread and NOW you want to start a thread telling us how to run 'our' team. STFU AND GTFO!

  • If you thought Mangini was conservative......................................

    Tressel would be a great NFL coach....I think he made his last stop at Ohio State the job he wanted and will retire from

    Because he's an average college coach at best and would get his ass handed to him in the NFL?

    Yeah he is an average coach....who won five National Championships and more BCS games than any other coach and played in more BCS games than any other coach...and has the highest winning percentage the last decade

    you judge of talent is about as good as your judge of fans....stick your head back up urass

    He won 1 National Championship. He coached freaking Youngstown State, that's not even a FBS school so it doesn't count. The Big Ten is weak, he beats up on teams like Marshall then gets rocked by Wisconsin. And the same reason I don't want Cowher=Once a Steeler, always a Steeler....Tressel=Once a Suckeye, Always A Suckeye. I'm embarrassed he went to UA.

    Why not hire Mike Haywood to coach the Steelers?

  • yeah he beat up on Oregon sucks and guess who is playing Auburn for the National Championship?

    Also, Tressel won 4 championships at YSU and one SO FAR at OSU against Miami. At least he coaches his team well enough to show up at the big dance more than any other recent coaches.

  • Junkyard Dawg and FearTheRoo playing who can be dumber is entertaining to watch.

  • As a Florida Gators fan, I don't have much confidence in Tressel. Any team with a decent amount of speed has destroyed OSU, where in the NFL, every team possesses SEC-level speed.

    I have nothing against Tressel, he seems like a classy guy. I just don't know if he'd be the best fit for our organization.

  • Was Tressel going for an on side kick? after just scoring a fluke TD?

  • I can't imagine anything feeling duller than hiring The Vest. Just feels like Martyball.

  • Perhaps had he kept the Columbus Five off the field tonight and did the right thing and showed some integrity, sure.

    No thanks.

    Jim Tressel won 5 NCAA National Football Championships, beat up on Marshall bad enough to force them up into Division 1. Tore a new hole in Air McNair, and conducts himself in an honorable and gentlemanly fashion.

    Conservative, he is. Although he punked Miami pretty good. HAd the OSU idiot players not destroyed Ted Ginn's leg, the Gators owuld have had to account for him all night ling and the Buckeyes owuld have beat FLorida for another National Championship.

    THe LSU game was ugly, no doubt about it. Of course it wasn't the Buckeyes moving themselves up 7 spots in a very average year to get to a National title game.

    Also, this business about Trssel having a poor record against the SEC........ what is it, 0 -2?

    Could he bring the Browns back to glory. He sure couldn't do any worse than Crennel the coffee fetcher or Mangini the field goal lover.

    It would be interesting as all hell and it would sell the hell out of tickets and merchandise.

    I don't think he is ready to leave Ohio State, but he does love the Browns.

    Come on man, the score was 41-14.

    Even if Ginn was worth 3 more TD's you lose.

  • Why don't we not and say we did

  • Tressell is the King of Cbus. He rules maybe the most prolific sports program in all of NCAA athletics. His recruiting network is a solid coast to coast syndicate. The alumni and OSU admin view him as the

    know all and be all of that which is OSU football. He rules the local press and his compenstation package is as good as it gets. Ain't no way he'd relinquish his kingdom for the job in Cleveland.

    Yeah, what a class act that Jen Tressel. Players get busted violating the rules and he lets them play in the big game. Gosh, so classy.

    I think your problem is with the NCAA, not Tressell.
