 :dunno:  His name was thrown out there by 104.5 this am.

I don't believe he can coach anywhere right now, show cause

Yeah. Won't happen. But I'm with Lyn . . . NFW.

They said his isn't the same as what Bruce has...idk.

I read some time ago that it was weaker, but still had severe penalties (he couldn't coach games) for about half of his first season in any new job. I doubt any major program will want to touch that.

Could you imagine Jim on the sidelines with an Orange and White checked sweater? :dielaughing: :laugh:

I wish I could trust Dave Hart not to fizzle this up.  They also say Jimbo Fisher. I think I would rather stick with Dooley.

Jimbo's doing a pretty good job cleaning up what Bobby Bowden left Him at FSU

I heard that Tressell thing also.  Mark Howard is a dufus. Tressell has a show cause for 5 years, right? 

Lately everytime I turn on 104 I regret it.  Except when I'm listening to the Vols.  Wait.... Lately everytime I turn on 104 I regret it.

LOL yes, Mark  Howard is a moron.

 :laugh:

I know this won't be a popular opinion but Tressel would be a huge upgrade over Dooley. I am not saying I think we should hire Tressel but he is ALOT better than our current HC.

With that being said no one will hire Tressel until 2017 and maybe not then, due to his 5 years show cause letter.

On December 20, 2011 the NCAA placed Ohio State on an additional one year's probation and banned it from postseason play in 2012 for numerous major violations under Tressel's watch. It also imposed a five-year show-cause penalty on Tressel, which means any NCAA member that wants to hire him would have to "show cause" for why it shouldn't be sanctioned for hiring him, and could face severe penalties if he commits any further violations during that time. The order stands until December 19, 2016; given past precedent, it will likely have the effect of blackballing Tressel from the coaching ranks until the 2017 season. If Tressel ever coaches again during this period, he will be suspended for the first five games of the regular season, plus any conference championship game or bowl game. The NCAA came down particularly hard on Tressel because he'd had four chances to tell the truth and failed to do so

Tressell is absolutely in play.  I actually knew this months ago, but I didn't know who to tell. :dance:

(Didn't think I'd ever get to use THAT one again) :cool:

He could bring down that exciting Ohio State brand of football! :wave: :dance:

Well done!  :clap:

HAW!!!! :bowrofl:

Nooooos!

I did hear Andy Reid was about to get fired.  Iggles fans, weigh in.

I don't want Reid...I think half his problem is personal, his son died of an OD, so I really don't want him.

Seriously though...if Gruden is considered "all that" there may be some other good NFL coaches out there.

Jim "Playoffs!" Mora is doing a great job at UCLA, believe it or not.

I'd rather have his brand of non-exciting but winning football than the 51-44(UGA), 41-31(MSU) and 38-35 (USC) exciting shootouts we're losing now. No, I don't want Tressel because of his problems with the NCAA, but the dude pretty much dominated the Big 10 for a decade.

WHY ARE YOU LISTENING TO 104.5

His Show cause is not near that severe

Effective: 12/2011
Expires: 12/2016

His show cause only requires that any institution that employs him must:
(1) Suspend him for the first 5 games of the year as well as any bowl game that year. He's not allowed to coach or basically do anything during the period around those 5 games. Not allowed to be at the venue or to "coach" as that term is defined by the NCAA. He can't recruit or contact current players or coaches during that time.

(2) The AD, within 60 days, has to detail to the NCAA how it will effectively monitor Tressel to make sure the same infractions aren't committed. Then the AD has to monitor his activities and report everything to the NCAA every 6 months to ensure he is still in compliance.

I don't see us hiring someone and then suspending him for the start of the season.
