OT - Jim Tressel resigns as Ohio State head coach

[naslundfan19]

Can't say I didn't see this one coming.

He said he would never resign. My guess is he was forced to do so. I hope the NCAA comes down hard on him. However I doubt they will. The NCAA punishes the school, but rarely the coach. The two coaches I can think of who were punished by the NCAA were in Basketball, Todd Bozeman & Kelvin Sampson. John Calipari destroyed the UMASS program. He left Memphis in disarray & the NCAA let him off with nothing. Jim Calhoun got off easy at UCONN this past year. Pete Carroll couldn't get to Seattle fast enough.

What a joke!!

Yeah, Tressel was fired. One of those "Resign gracefully or get fired" things.

I, for one, was surprised he was ousted. But then again I'm a Wolverine fan and have certain expectations when it comes to Buckeyes.

He lied to the NCAA about players on his football team who sold memorabilia for tattoos, cash & other items.

He got caught doing what every other coach in NCAA Football does.

It's been fun living here through this. Not sure who is worse, the locals who think he's a God and getting a raw deal or the fans of other programs who think it's not happening to them.

The guy seemed like a douche, clearly lied and deserved to be punished. But moreso, the asshole QB needs to get taught a serious lesson. Just last night the f'er was photographed driving a 350Z with temp tags on it (from the same dealer). Now he's just going to bail on his senior season and declare for the draft. And someone will take him. Murderers, drug dealers and thugs get deals all the time. They won't bat an eye at a douchenozzle who can't follow rules, even after they get caught.

He was coach of Ohio State football. He did what 90% of NCAA football coaches do, but got caught.

LOL - probably should have read all the posts before responding.

Not only did he drive a Z he didn't own to see his head coach give his parting words, but he got there driving with a suspended license

He may be doing what a lot of other NCAA coaches do, but most NCAA coaches don't write books called "Doing It The Right Way" and act like they are the patron saint of honesty and character.

I don't understand why anyone is surprised about this. Tressel had problems with the NCAA while he was the head coach at Youngstown St. He's not the squeaky clean guy the media has portrayed him to be.

I don't think many people are surprised, but the level of hypocrisy is pretty staggering.

 

[dash]

Why can't we have more Ohio State QB's like Art Schlichter?

Even in football?

I mean Ray Lewis recently said that he is concerned that violent crime will increase if there's no football season. The hypocrisy there hurt me physically.

It goes with the territory.

How is that hypocritical? Ray is just being honest, he knows that without 16 games and a steady workout routine he will become bored and stab people.
