Jim Tressel resigns as Ohio State Football coach
« on: May 30, 2011, 01:16:29 PM »
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Jim Tressel, who guided Ohio State to its first national title in 34 years, resigned Monday amid NCAA violations from a tattoo-parlor scandal that sullied the image of one of the country's top football programs.

"After meeting with university officials, we agreed that it is in the best interest of Ohio State that I resign as head football coach," Tressel said in a statement released by the university. "The appreciation that (wife) Ellen and I have for the Buckeye Nation is immeasurable."

He should has resigned a long time ago and avoided the embaressment he caused his university.  He knew all along of the impropriaties and "turned a blind eye" to it.

...part of being a great coach is having respect and control of your team,...He couldn't do that,...but i'm sure there is much more to this story than we will ever hear.

Hearing rumors of drugs along with tatoos.
Looks like the story is going to be bad.

Anyone can be an awesome coach when you bend the rules! OSU was good way to fast when Tressel arrived. Earl Bruce ran a clean respectable program but could`nt beat Michigan. Tressel defeated U of M but cheated! U of M hired a Tressel clone and thank goodness got rid of him!

We are glad that Michigan took him. ROTFLMBO
But then West Virginia's new HCIW may have some issues already and we haven't played a game yet.

Rumor has it that Rich Rodriguez may be the next OSU coach.
Qualifications? He already knows how to beat Michigan. *lol*
