I understand teams from the NFL soemtimes try to lure head coaches from college ranks and they always seem to fail but how come not ONE team seems to go after Jim Tressel of Ohio State University. Hes a great headcoach and playcaller imo and has been to two national championships in the last six years unfortunately beating my canes. He also has been to five straight BCS bowl games. Hes a very good head coach and I think if one guy can have a shot at succeeding in the NFL from the college ranks, I think its him. Why don't teams go after him?
Saban and that other quitter had NFL roots Tressel does not with all the money in college ball, I think you would have to be insane to leave for 80 hour work weeks
The Browns where interested in '06 but he said no. http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?p=1501443 http://www.fanblogs.com/ohio_state/006702.php
Ohio State gets the best players every year.....it can't be that hard to win all but two of your games every year. I think if most of these guys could coach in the NFL, they would be there.
Tressel's act wouldn't cut in the NFL. He has one of the cushiest jobs in American long with Pete over at USC. Those two will never leave and can't see them even thinking NFL. Tressel is an oustanding coach and gets the most out of his players but no way he could carry that over to the NFL. Pete did coach in the NFL and that's why he's at USC.
Yeah, Tressel is worshipped in Ohio, well he was but losing to national title games in a row might make people sour on him for some ungodly reason. But the man is a collge coach through and through. Besides, the amount of money college coaches get these days, he is probably in a better spot financially at Ohio State than 75% of the NFL right now.
do any of you think he could be forced out like lloyd car of michigan due to not winning the big game or important games? if so, you think he stays in colege or possibly looks to NFL?
No, he's won a Championship. Now it was a questionable win but a win none the less. I really believe Michigan had the best talent in the Big 11. Though that conference needs to get another team to join so they get a championship game. Was Ohio State one of the two best teams in country? I don't think so but i'm not sure that LSU is either even after tonight. A playoff is needed but I don't think it'll ever happen.
well yeah I know hes won a championship but you know how it is a "what have you done for me lately" and for instance if he keeps losing bcs bowl games, do you think he gets the pink slip and considers NFL?
Last year an arguement can be made for not showing up. This year nobody though OSU would end up in the game. Bob Stoops should be the name not the Vest if this conversation is made. Not trying to sympathize with OSU but the roughing the punter rule should be changed, IMO. LSU was a better team but I hate that rule for any team.
Tressell is only a good coach when OSU plays w/a lead. See the Florida game last year, Illinois and LSU this year.
