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

  • 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.

    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.

  • @junkyard-dawg said:

    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.

    No, not particularly..... as coach, he STILL has the power to do the right thing, and chose not to, in spite of what the NCAA did.

  • Because players would have little to no respect for him in the NFL. He seems like too big of a pushover.

  • Pretty sure Tressel wouldn't want to take a pay cut...

    ya i guess selling your own big ten champion ship ring and other collectibles to help pay for your moms mortage is so very classless man these guys have no class wat so ever

    get real dude stfu

    Exactly, why would a man with an excellent team, great recruiting and all of the job security in the world trade it for no job security and a team full of mostly 2nd 3rd and 4th stringers on competitive teams' rosters? Tressell is too old for that kind of headache.

  • Pretty sure OSU just beat Arkansas so enough with SEC bullshit but as a head coach in Cleveland no thanks hes just not the right fit in my opinon and why give up one of the best Coaching spots in the Country to come here on a non sure thing. Hes set for life where hes at the love him there and i dont think he has the ambition to go on to the next level, Next question
