They'll need two new offices. One for Tressel, and one for the NCAA investigator who takes up permanent residence.

 

[Rocco]

Wow, no way. Why wouldn't Illinois go after him? ASU? UCLA?

 

[NovaOrange]

Because of the heat it automatically brings to your program

What about the fact that he was a good coach? He cheated at OSU, doesn't mean he does all of this stuff at a new school. He's likely learned his lesson. I'm sure a school would trade a BCS championship for a few naysayers during the initial hiring.

Have you ever been sprayed by a skunk? If so you know it takes a while to get the stench off of you. His best bet would be waiting it out a year or two before jumping back in. The NCAA will be watching him like a hawk. Never said he wasn't a good coach I just personally wouldn't want that heat on my program if I was the AD.

Didn't he get into some trouble at Youngstown before going to OSU? Don't think he learned any lessons yet.

Being from Youngstown, I can attest to that. However, any team in NE Ohio that brings him in will benefit immediately. Guy has strong connections. Of course they will also be on probation in a few years as well. Maybe its worth it for an Akron. I've been to Akron, they need something!

It's not often you see a guy go from 1AA to 1A national champion, back to 1AA.

Would still be worth taking a chance on. And you can get him with a lower price tag.

 

[NovaOrange]

I agree to disagree on this one with you Rocco even though I do understand the point your making

 

[Orangemen]

If we hired him tomorrow, I would be ecstatic.

 

[IthacaBarrel]

hey recruiting violations don't seem like much right now considering the news. Akron needs a ton of help and he would do that. They need a jolt of something. It would be huge for Akron

 

[Upstate]

Akron has a beautiful new stadium, too

 

[BlackKnight76]

I can't believe Akron is the best he can do.

hmmm, Akron is in the MAC.

Although not light years ahead of FCS it is FBS... Somewhere between the SunBelt and C-USA.

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

This guy is a life long cheater who should not be allowed to coach young men. He was rigging the raffles at summer camps as a grad assistant. He is a joke, writes a book about winning with spiritual insights, please. I cannot stand people who preach but dont practice. The stupid part is all he had to do was not hide what the players at Ohio State were doing.

It was a joke. Akron has been the worst team in 1A in 2010 and 2011. Good 1AA teams would beat them.

understood... Mr. Sagarin would seem to believe that 5 FCS teams would beat our Orangemen.

Tark cheated everywhere he went and was successful. I think Tressel should be able to get a BCS job. Maybe not a big time program, but certainly a middling or lower one. IMO he should wait until Butch Jones decides about Illinois. Cuz Cincy would be a nice fit for Tressel. Or even Louisville if Strong leaves.

I don't see the Cincy thing happening. Even if Jones leaves (he'd be dumb not to) there is too strong an OSU tie in Cincy for Tressel to be considered.
