Tressel resigned this morning.
http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/sports/stories/2011/05/30/ohio-state-news.html?sid=101
Jim Tressel was brought down by about $15,000 in memorabilia. How does Butch still have a job?

what job do you fancy better?
you're at a school that holds football in the highest regard, in a state where everyone loves the shit out of you, with an unlimited budget and in a shitty conference that people somehow respect. it is the best job in football.

Quite a few others on par with Ohio State to the point where the coach wouldn't leave that school for OSU. 5/30/2011 10:02:00 AM

okay dude, of course there are schools that a coach wouldn't leave for ohio state, but alabama is in the SEC and has defending national champs auburn in the same state. likewise, texas is in a hard conference and has to keep up w/ bob stoops, who is young and a top 3 coach in the game.
ohio state doesn't have to do shit.
PENN STATE? ARE YOU JOKING? HOW IN THE FUCK IS PENN STATE A BETTER JOB THAN OHIO STATE? THEY'RE THE SAME FUCKING SCHOOL EXCEPT ONE'S IN A STATE THAT LOVES COLLEGE FOOTBALL TO DEATH AND ONE'S IN A STATE THAT JERKS OFF TO THE EAGLES AND STEELERS, AND I SAY THIS AS SOMEONE POSTING FROM PENNSYLVANIA.

So you are saying that Ohio State is a better job than Texas? Not chance in hell.
Don't get me wrong it is probably somewhere between 4-8 in the best college football jobs in America but without question not better than UT. 5/30/2011 10:09:02 AM
|
justinh524 Sprots Talk Mod 27562 Posts user info edit post |
UT is probably the best job in the country, after that there are about 6-10 schools with jobs that are pretty similar and on the same level.
you should stop being a ohio state fanboy and realize this.
(NCSU is included in that 6-10 schools )

There's no definitive way to say that any school is THE BEST job in the country, but certainly OSU has to be in the top 5 based on budget, facilities, tradition, and fanbase. 5/30/2011 10:57:45 AM

well I hate to see Tressel go, but its becoming more and more obvious that he had no control over his team off the football field. Hell of a coach, and I do think he is deep a down a good guy, he just made way too many dumb decisions that snowballed into where it is today. I'll be interested to see if Gene Smith makes it to next season as the AD, sounds like he will have a ton of questions to answer now that Tressel wont be around to take the full brunt of the heat.
I'm more pissed off at the players than I am at Tressel at this point and I'm going to have a hard time rooting for a team that still has Pryor et. al on the roster. Tressel shouldnt have covered up for them, or turned a blind eye to them, there is no doubt about that but the players should know better. I just think the Ohio State football celebrity status got to the players heads and made them think that they are above the law.
Its pretty funny to read Ohio State fans reactions and see how pissed they are at ESPN for blowing this story up and pushing it to the boiling point that resulted in Tressel stepping down. If this kind of publicity and scrutiny was placed on the current UNC investigation, Butch wouldve been fired months ago.
As far as the next coach is concerned, I cant wait to see how the search goes. I know that Urban Meyer says he doesnt want the job, but we'll see he feels a year from now when the search really starts. Two other big names that are circling around are Jon Gruden and Tony Dungy. I think any of those guys would be great fits and could instill come off-field discipline into a team that obviously had none. I would like to see how Fickell fares as a head coach, he is a total badass, so I could see him being a good disciplinarian. Bo Pelini is another possibility for a coach, since he was a former team captain for the Buckeyes

depends on how bad the sanctions are. If they are SMU sanctions where you are virtually unable to win no matter how good of a coach you are, then no they probably cant get a top tier coach. If they are USC type sanctions, then I think they can. 5/31/2011 9:19:13 AM

There is no way in the world that OSU would hire Butch Davis when he is facing his own NCAA infractions. Maybe if he had a clean record, then he would be on the list, especially since he has ties to Ohio being the Browns coach at one point.
But, I've obviously been wrong before, so who knows 5/31/2011 9:26:29 AM

BUTCH DIDN'T SIGN A PAPER FLAT OUT LYING!!! why do people. especially you buckeye fans keep breezing right over that fact. did you watch espn yesterday? they made it clear with these words hundreds, yes probably hundreds, of times. "it wasnt the crime it was the cover up"
the stupid tatoo shit was covered for a day or two with the suspensions and promises to return the following year then it was done after the sugar bowl. it was hardly anything. then the nation found out he lied and here we are. eating popcorn 5/31/2011 9:33:05 AM
