Yea I'd rather have coachalisious from GB too.

I'm still foolishly holding out hope for Whisenhunt, but after he decides to coach the lions then fuck it, hire tressel or stoops or count fuckin chocula for all I care.

I don't believe he is in question for the job, but what he did with Youngstown State and how he changed it into a powerhouse during his time there is what Cleveland needs. He also resurrected the Buckeyes to a national title and other chances at titles. He gets Ohio football and would be excellent at coaching/preparing for opponents especially in Cleveland weather.

Ya Count Chocula! Lol

I heard Boo Berry is one hell of a DC to and they are close friends, so...

The main problem with tressel is that his success at ysu and osu was a product of his recruiting, which as we all know has no place in the NFL. Jim's tough defense-strong run game identity is a good blueprint for the afc north, however.

What they would like to do is sell a shit ton of merchandise...That's why the whole McDaniels,Manziel thing seemed to make sense

But think of all the Cleveland Browns sweater vests they would sell if Tressel were here. Hell, I might buy one.

By the way....sweater vests can be worn by women as well, if you adapt them right:

I'm all for the sweater vest.

Yea he's conservative and blah blah. He's just fine IMO. I'll take a field goal on 4th and 5 over going for it for no reason.

So Tressel really is a saint to some here, huh?

I'm happy not everyone is begging for him to be hired though.

What was his record against Michigan again?

And yes, his NCAA violations were not right...but what were they?:

A. His players sell/trade trinkets/Baubles that they owned for tatoos and hamburger money. (Selling/ your own property....given to you by the school is technically a violation. Why? no one knows.)

B. He found out about it......but filed a compliance report that said to his knowledge all his players were eligible to play.

OK, fine. Whatever.

Do you think that such an awful deed should disqualify him from NFL consideration? Where the players are paid millions of dollars and can do whatever they want with their baubles and trinkets?

He may not be right for the NFL for a variety of other reasons having strictly to do with how football is played, but not for that.

The Berea triumvirate has had two weeks to come up with the coach that saved Cleveland with seemingly little notable progress. They've had their share of potential come in

for a visit but find out in the end the prospect was there to touch up on his interview skills for a job with a bona fide NFL franchise. Oh, wait, the Browns are waiting for the

playoffs and Super Bowl to be completed so they can bring in the NFL rock star coaches. that's gotta be it. Sadly, we the fans will settle for another schlep who can dazzle

them in the interview with his understanding of the game and what it take to win but hasn't a clue on how to be a leader of men and a motivator.......getiing the maximum from

every player, on every play, in every fuckin game.

Bring in the sweater dude and forget about these young NFL wannabe coaches who think they can bring the glory back to Cleveland. The upside for Tressel is unlimited

because it really can't get any worse than what they have now. Tressel knows what the Browns mean to northwestern Ohio unlike the list of carpetbaggin mother fuckers who have been

coming in for the big payday only to leave the team no better off that it has been the last 15 years. Can he motivate and coach professionals? That's the million dollar question. He

certainly has had success in the amateur ranks. His fatal flaw was merely trying to protect his players from prying eyes.

i respect the hell out of tressel and what the ncaa did to him and osu was seriously fucked up.

BUT if i want to see the 'ol run, run, pass punt type of offense all have to do is sniff out arians.

beare

No way i want tressel.way to conservative for the nfl.

So he can't adjust?

SunDawg

Tressel? You guys really want Tressel?

The game had passed him by in College, no way he succeeds in the NFL, let alone Clowns town.

Flyin J

Tressel would be a great coach.... if the coordinators run the show and hes just a motivational/discipline coach. His offenses were abysmal the last few years and he showed almost no creativeness. Very bland guy.

as bad as I think this FO is...............NO WAY they hire Tressel as a PR stunt

But it's OK if they draft Manziel as a PR stunt? Take it to the bank, it's happening.

larryfine

Tressel is a fraud and a half ass coach. Put him as coach of the Browns with what little talent we have and he would be exposed as a loser.
