Title: Re: ESPN: Jim Tressel resigns, report says Post by: pmull on May 30, 2011, 08:17:04 AM BREAKING: Jim Tressel Has Resigned
COLUMBUS -- Ohio State head football coach Jim Tressel has resigned. We have contacted OSU officials and they say they are in a meeting and will release more information within the hour. We have confirmed that Interim head football coach Luke Fickel will coach the entire 2011 season. The search for a new coach won`t begin until after the season. http://www.abc6onyourside.com/shared/newsroom/top_stories/videos/wsyx_vid_11276.shtml Title: Re: ESPN: Jim Tressel resigns, report says Post by: Marshal Dillon on May 30, 2011, 08:18:02 AM This part of the article is what bothers me:
Tressel also received support at the spring meetings from fellow coaches such as Michigan State's Mark Dantonio and Northwestern's Pat Fitzgerald, as well as from Nebraska athletic director Tom Osborne, a longtime friend. I mean, what the H*LL? The guy admits to lying and they support that? :o Title: Re: ESPN: Jim Tressel resigns, report says Post by: pmull on May 30, 2011, 08:21:01 AM FOX Sports also reporting Tressel has resigned.

The have made fools of themselves and made the univesity to look spineless and totally under the thumb of Tressel. Notice, it was the Board of Trustees who had to pull the trigger because the prez & AD were so gutless.

OSU has realized that they are getting ready to get hammered by the NCAA. This is damage control. Title: Re: ESPN: Jim Tressel resigns, report says Post by: ssmith general on May 30, 2011, 09:25:07 AM Oops.
Should have happened immediately, lack of institutional control.

Should have happened immediately, lack of institutional control. Yeah, now that he's gone, suddenly the prez and AD will start talking about how important integrity in sports is and how Ohio St. wanted to set the tone for demonstratig their "integrity." They will talk like everything is okay now and act like they were always in control. Title: Re: ESPN: Jim Tressel resigns, report says Post by: Jamos on May 30, 2011, 09:44:31 AM It will be very interesting to see if this will be a domino effect from the school. If the NCAA moves on the lack of institutional control as their major infraction, the BOT may go ahead and replace the President and AD.

I think you're right. He will be a major influence in them being fired. ;) Title: Re: ESPN: Jim Tressel resigns, report says Post by: BAMAWV on May 30, 2011, 10:16:14 AM :( I know we are all kinda bored now, but I was hoping to see all this play out into the middle of their season (LOL).

Title: Re: ESPN: Jim Tressel resigns, report says Post by: ricky023 on May 30, 2011, 10:31:27 AM Well now what comes next? Who will be coach? Will Fickell be to Fickell to carry tOSU to a winning football program? RTR!
Title: Re: ESPN: Jim Tressel resigns, report says Post by: 2Stater on May 30, 2011, 11:09:20 AM Herbstreit says on ESPN that he doesn't think Tressel will ever want to coach again.
Title: Re: ESPN: Jim Tressel resigns, report says Post by: BAMAWV on May 30, 2011, 11:23:41 AM Herbstreit says on ESPN that he doesn't think Tressel will ever want to coach again. He (Herbie) said he was within 4 or 5 years of retiring anyway. But this is the first time I've seen KH take up for Tressel. He used the "trying to protect his players" excuse. This is nonsense, because it means he instead took a chance (and lost) of throwing the rest of his team, the program, and the university under the bus.

Yeah, I know KH has been critical of Tressel in the past. He must be feeling a little sentimental today. Title: Re: ESPN: Jim Tressel resigns, report says Post by: Marshal Dillon on May 30, 2011, 12:35:10 PM Did I just hear them say on Sports Center that Tressel will forgo all future salary? Anyone else hear this?
Title: Re: ESPN: Jim Tressel resigns, report says Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on May 30, 2011, 02:18:11 PM Tressel should have sat all the players after he received the email and let the OSU compliance officers handle the problems. Pryor would have been suspended for 5 games last year just like AJ Green. When that WR Small gave out that story last week and his attitude was he didn't care if he broke any rules or not was the last straw.
SI is releasing a cover story for this week about OSU. If there are recruiting violations, OSU could get hammered like USC was last year. USC's appeal was denied last week. There are more players than 5 and maybe other coaches as well. Probably more NCAA violations than just selling rings. Auto loans and other graf is now surfacing. Question? Who sent Tressel first email last April 2010? 8) Title: Re: ESPN: Jim Tressel resigns, report says Post by: Marshal Dillon on May 30, 2011, 02:51:21 PM Quite a coincidence that SI gave Ohio State details of the article and like the next day Tressel "resigns." Sounds like they have some real dynamite on OSU.
Title: Re: ESPN: Jim Tressel resigns, report says Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on May 30, 2011, 03:42:35 PM Thanks MD
SI article named former player. When Tressel did not followup with email and discipline players, Cicero released email to investigators. 8) "Tressel had learned that Pryor and wide receiver DeVier Posey were involved in the memorabilia deals when he received an email from lawyer Christopher Cicero, a former Ohio State walk-on and letterman in the 1980s, back in April 2010".

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving bunch. President Gee is a real piece of work, I don't see how he can stay.

That would have been a suitable ending to Tressel era. OSU 0-10 vs SEC! 8) Title: Re: ESPN: Jim Tressel resigns, report says Post by: Marshal Dillon on May 30, 2011, 09:36:50 PM Jim Tressel was the author of two books on faith and integrity. What a hypocrite! He's going to burn.
