I think that when Tressel leaves OSU it will be by retirement and after many more wins, Big Ten titles and a few more National Championships. He will leave OSU with an ora much like Woody Hayes had, hopefully not because he punched a player though!

:thumb: Sounds good.

I bet a few wins in a row and the Cleveland faithful would start to come around.

Why would Tressel leave?? According to USA Today (originally posted by All Play No Work) Tressell is hauling in $2,000,000 + each year.

Then there is the contract that USA Today made public...

I guess anybody can be bought but Tressel's deal right now is pretty SWEET!!!

RP is right about Tressel. He is a cheater. Why ask the parents of the athletes? Most of those parents with truly elite kids have their hands out as well. It is just a matter of time before "the vest" is the subject of a tell-all book by a former player. Maybe #13 is working on a deal right now?:sssh:

:thumb: I agree 100%, anything can happen - we certainly have seen that at other places with other coaches but I really believe that Tressell loves Ohio State and would want to retire there. JMO

I think that ol' #13 has lost any and all credibility that he had, if he ever has any.:sssh: What it comes down to is that people love to take shots at the guys on top, plain and simple. Always have and always will. I gotten to where I just sit back and laugh at it now. :lol:

Tressel reminds me of Coach K. Take it how you want, but I think he is college coach and even though I am not a fan, I think they are both good ones. I also think they both have a little weasel in them.

Well I guess you need to take that argument to the NCAA or OSU because if true that SWEET deal I spoke of is gone for Coach Tressel:rolleyes: Please look at the PDF of his contract. Besides calling someone a cheater is pretty harsh. As a former Marshall player who lost 2 NCAA I-AA National Championships to Jim it would be easy for me agree with you but I just don't see the man running a corrupt program at either Youngstown State or Ohio State. Heck, I even dislike OSU more since Tressel took over but I STILL have to RESPECT him as a GREAT coach;)

I don't have a problem with people on top. I have just heard a number of things from folks that would know. One day all that smoke will burst into flames.

You are entitled to your opinion. Why ask the parents you ask? Because they know the real answer to the question. Not all Parents have their hand out as you say, maybe some do but that can be said about all college programs.

I can assure you the parents that I speak of are top notch people and to label them in any other way without knowing anything about them except your own idea is an absolute wrong.

FWIW the # 13 reference is very old hat.

I doubt Cleveland will go after Darth Vester when the job opens at the end of next season. Lock Jaw will take over after a year off...

Maurice is a black mark on OSU. No lame attempts at jokes can change that. Tressel was up to his neck in the affair.

Nice last second edit of your cheap shot.

No more of a cheap shot than you attempted . But that is ok, it seems that if one doesn't agree with all that you say it is a cheap shot. Take it any way you like. Your comment about the parents was more than a cheap shot, it was degrading honest people that you decided to profile to fit your own agenda.

Not logical. This thread is a bout the coach of OSU. Its not a "cheap Shot" (while it may be critical) to comment in any way about the OSU coach and his dealings. My comments are my opinions based on my knowledge of the facts. You made some smart-alec comment about "working security at LSU", where does that fit into the thread?

I have worked a number of years at a D! university and had many day to day dealings with student athletes. Most are normal kids, some good some not so good. However, for the most part the truly "elite" athletes are a bunch of prima donnas with "stage-parents" and entourages. They have no mors to do with the everyday goings on of student life than the man in the moon. I'll stick with my opinion.
