Jim Tressel Finally Resigns From Ohio State

For several months, we've covered the controversies surrounding Ohio State's athletic department, from the initial charges received in late-April to the questionable automobile "purchases" and the reaction to them. Today, the first real casualty from these incidents has emerged.
Jim Tressel, rogue coach and all-around good guy, has resigned as head football coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes.
And you thought this offseason would be dull.
In theory, this should come as no surprise. A coach in Tressel's predicament would have been discontinued by most schools at the very beginning. That he survived five months since the first allegations broke is a testament to Ohio State President Gordon Gee and his loving motto -
That sound bite will be replayed ad nauseum today. What could have prompted such a drastic shift in position from the Buckeye administration? As reported last week, George Dohrmann, a Sports Illustrated contributor, had been in Columbus investigating the Buckeye program and had written an article that is said to detail Tressel's unethical football business dating back to his tenure as head coach of Youngstown State.
Dohrmann's no slouch journalist. In 1999, his thorough investigation for the St Paul Pioneer-Press resulted in Clem Haskins dismissal from the Minnesota Golden Gophers basketball team. That earned him a Pulitzer Prize. Just this past year, Dohrmann co-authored the story of Josh Luchs, a former agent who has admitted to paying college athletes. Though Ohio State claims that Tressel's resignation is "unrelated to the media," Dorhmann himself notes on Twitter that his story will likely be posted at some point today and that the timing of the decision will "make sense after you read it."
Taking over for Tressel will be assistant coach Luke Fickell, a former Buckeye nose guard. Fickell was tapped to lead the team during Tressel's five game suspension this year and will act as interim head coach for the entire season.
This is not a good day for the Buckeyes, who lose a coach that went 106-22 (for now) and may very well be the best coach in program history. This is, however, a very good day for college football and the Big Ten in particular, a league that prides itself on doing things the right way. This doesn't solve the problems for Ohio State; they'll still appear in front of the Committee on Infractions in August and have to account for the multiple issues in their football program. For now, however, it appears as if the university is finally being proactive and taking steps to clean up Columbus.

Can't believe it took so long, shame on O$U for no having the stones and doing this months ago
Wait until The Vest starts to spill the beans and what he knows.
I think The Vest is actually a very good game coach just not a good leader of young men.
Hire Mike Pettine Jr!!!!!!!!
You said everything I was going to. Shame on Tressel, and double shame in OSU for endorsing him in the face of all of the evidence.

I think the players’ tweets would disagree with you. Then again, who knows?
Stoneburner: Tress taught me life lessons and how to become a man. I will forever be grateful that I played for such a great man. He is irreplaceable.
Jon Thoma: Awful. He deserves so much more. I can’t stomach this right now. Love you Tress, and thank you for everything.
Carlos Hyde: 14-0 sounds good to me doin it for tress
Chimdi Chekwa: We just lost a great coach nd a great person. Its a sad day for a former player. Tress gave me more than an opportunity he gave me a roadmap
Adam Griffin: People hate to see winning. They hate success and that’s what tress was… Successful

By the way, I love the last tweet:

With all that has come to light in the past few months after years of whispers and shady dealings, I’m not sure OSU can be any more “untamed” since it’s obvious they haven’t been tamed in the first place.

I would imagine
He could serve as the HC for a FCS team that only expects him to be there one or two years, before he moves back to the BCS stage, or just take a year off. I don’t know if there are any of those jobs open, but one of those schools would be willing to take a shot. I can’t see him being desirable as an analyst right now and with how he probably sees the media right now I doubt he would want to go down that path.
No one's going to hire him if he gets show caused by the NCAA.
And no one is going to take the chance until they find out his fate. Media’s his only option at this point, but he certainly doesn’t need the money. I’d take some time and try to avoid the spotlight for a bit.

Only bummer about this ...
… is that the broader investigation into The OSU athletics department will likely fade out now that they got the big guy out. I was actually enjoying the news of the spreading investigation — from a few players, to a football squad, to the whole University — was really, quite enjoyable … ah, oh well …
Not quite
This story coming out will bring a lot of new facts, apparently. And then there’s the hearing in front of the Committee on Infractions, which will probably bring out some new things, or at least affirmatively detail all the facts that have been established.
If the Dohrmann piece is going to really destroy Tressel, you can look to the Minnesota saga with Clem Haskins for how the University might be punished. Even though Tressel is already gone, I think there’s a lot of damning stuff out there and the buck doesn’t necessarily stop with him. But in any event, don’t be bummed out, it’s far from over.

So where are all the people who say that PSU's coaching situation hurts recruiting?
OSU, Notre Dame, Pitt, Syracuse, Michigan, and Maryland have endured a total of 11 head coaching changes since 2004, and all have had at least one.
Penn State may be failing to meet some moral obligation to recruits by not being able to ensure that the head coach will be there when they graduate, but it’s certainly not a moral obligation that the schools PSU recruits against are meeting.

Shame on tO$U for....
its continuing of the lying, cheating and especially the arrogance. Regardless of how I or you feel about it (I continue to hate them), they are a “Brand Name” in CFB and the B1G and they showed everyone else thir disregard for rules and regs…..SHAME! If the NC2A has any guts, it will not stop at this point….they are dirty through and through and need to be punishment because they are a respected program, now a thinly veiled sham. This may be a U$C example, deservedly so, if they probe other sports programs. I have stated before that I personally take no pleasure from this, however, the jackwads from Jeannette have been silent for awhile and in that I take solace. Honesty is the best policy afterall. And if this means flushing their outhouse of a program with all of the higher-ups (AD, Pres, water-boy) then so be it. They have a mess to clean up. I am overjoyed that WE ARE not downstream or up-wind.

by newenglandnittanylion on May 30, 2011 2:00 PM EDT up reply actions
Honestly, with regards to Meyer, here's my thoughts.
Apparently he and Joe are good friends. I don’t necessarily think Paterno should be able to pick his successor here, but if Joe felt good about Meyer taking over, I think I could handle it. The guy has proven he can win. I think in a place like Penn State he’d be be pushed to crack down on the drug/alcohol use, but we’ve already got that so I don’t know if anyone can fix that. It’s a bunch of 18-22 year old college kids.
He doesn’t have a history of breaking NCAA rules. In fact, possibly the most surprising thing out of the Auburn/Newton deal to me, was the quote “And this time it won’t be for free.” That’s a pretty big testament to UF that the seedier things aren’t happening there like the rest of the SEC. I could deal with a known commodity in Urban Meyer, who doesn’t necessarily have anything to prove, and wouldn’t need to risk his career getting stupid now. He’d be here because he wanted to be here (remember he wanted to be a grad assistant for Paterno but didn’t land the spot) not because it was the easiest place he could go and win. If he wanted that, he would have stayed at Florida.
"This is being a Penn State fan. We’ll prove it, or we won’t. It’s not about proving it to them, it’s about proving to ourselves."
Well said
Cory Geiger asks Paterno if talk about his future bothers him. "You bother me," Joe tells Geiger.

Great stuff at ElevenWarriors:
Coming to Columbus as the little known coach from FCS Youngstown State, nobody has possibly ever had a bigger impact on a school and a community than Tressel had during his tenure running the OSU football program.

It’s a pretty striking coincidence that the fates of the two greatest coaches in Ohio State history were sealed, in part, but not nearly entirely, by the actions of the two most highly recruited quarterbacks to ever play for the Buckeyes.
Apparently Woody punching an opposing player in the throat is the is the fault of his highly recruited QB
Being that he probably bet on the other team.
There’s more to that story than has ever been reported. Woody was almost definitely enraged by what he perceived might be Schlichter throwing a game.
tOSU fans claim it isn't Woody's fault he was off his medicine that day
I shit you not I work with a die hard long time fan who has a photographic memory and he swears that is the case.

It is always interesting to see how society reacts to these types things.
I didn’t enjoy celebrating Osama Bin Laden’s downfall, let alone Jim Tressel’s. Mob mentality truly overtakes us to the point of barbarically celebrating a (good in this case ) man’s downfall.
Cheers, Jimmy T! The good you’ve done will not be forgotten by me. But you just had to go in the end.
Doug: "Why don't you tell him that your total salary last year was tweleve dollars?!?"

To keep this in perspective:
While celebrating the cheating Vest’s departure, it’s not as though his family is going to starve. That being said, I think it’s good that this happened, and here’s why: The infractions skewed the competitive landscape. Who was going to go to Penn State (or Iowa or NW or MSU, you get the idea) if players knew they could go to O$U and get free cars, tattoos, have wads of cash in their apartments, etc. while the other schools were trying to abide by the rules. That’s not how it’s supposed to be.
Last I checked
Lying to authorities doesn’t make you a good person. Tressel has no integrity left and it undermines what he’s done in the past. He deserved to be fired on the spot when it was first revealed that he lied to the NCAA, the fact that he lasted this long is a testament to the poor values that OSU’s AD and President hold.
Cory Geiger asks Paterno if talk about his future bothers him. "You bother me," Joe tells Geiger.
Last I checked
Lying doesn’t make you a good person. I’ve done that a couple times. You haven’t? Sheesh I’m screwed.
NO DUH LYING DOESN’T MAKE YOU A GOOD PERSON! But if you do get caught in a lie you are a bad person? Like I said, I guess I’m screwed.
Doug: "Why don't you tell him that your total salary last year was tweleve dollars?!?"
Arthur: "That was after taxes!!!"
And because of that lie Jim Tressel had to go.
I endorsed Jim Tressel’s leaving months ago.
Doug: "Why don't you tell him that your total salary last year was tweleve dollars?!?"
Arthur: "That was after taxes!!!"
This was not a little white lie
It was a pretty large cover up. It’snot like he told his wife her butt did not look big in those jeans.
So?
I’ve made major mistakes in my life. YOU HAVE TOO! I don’t even have to know you to know that. Stop being such a damn hypocrite. I understand if you don’t want to declare him a good man, but you have no right to call him a bad one. He’s done a tremendous amount.
Doug: "Why don't you tell him that your total salary last year was tweleve dollars?!?"
Arthur: "That was after taxes!!!"
And he's reaping the consequences of making a major mistake
part of which is people questioning his character because right now, it looks like he has none.
Cory Geiger asks Paterno if talk about his future bothers him. "You bother me," Joe tells Geiger.
I just said two seconds ago,
that he had to go because of this.
And I feel sorry if your opinions of people are formed based on what the national media provides you. Wouldn’t you prefer to have no opinion at all?
Doug: "Why don't you tell him that your total salary last year was tweleve dollars?!?"
Arthur: "That was after taxes!!!"
In this case
My opinion is the right one. He’s a liar with no integrity.

I won’t call him a bad man, but he is not a good one either. He sullied himself. He has to live with it. And so do all of you.
come on guy
I think youre being a little ridiculous.
You and I lying about trivial things is one thing. Tressel lying repeatedly to authorities he has to answer to is another. Have I lied about little things to family, friends, or my girlfriend. Sure. Did I ever knowingly lie to a person in authority knowing there were severe consequences, and not just lie but attest to that lie by signature? No. There are degrees of everything and you know it. Telling my mom I got home at midnight when I was in high school instead of the truth so I didnt get grounded is 100% different than lying to the cops or purjuring oneself on the stand, or obstructing justice, which is pretty much the equivalent of what Tressel did here. He impeded an investigation by lying.
Is Tressel a good person, no, probably not. He didnt just lie, he knowingly misrepresented himself and his university to the NCAA repeatedly in favor of winning games and his reputation. He put himself before everyone else. I dont know how you can do that without fear of teh consequences to anyone else and be deemed by any moral standard to be a “good person.” In fact, name the last person who was forced to resign his post during an investigation into his methods that is still considered a “good person.” Good people dont run into these types of issues, and anyone who wants to call Jim Tressel a bad person has every right in the world to say it, the same as you have every right to go forward thinking hes a good guy made bad decisions for the sake of winning a few games and got caught.
Dude, stop it.
He doesn’t care. Jim Tressel won football games and beat Michigan. This is the highest form of honor one can say of an Ohio State football coach.
Watching these people try to work their morals around because, hey, the guy did beat Michigan is, suffice it to say, highly amusing.

Isn’t that Tressel is gone. Compared to coaches like Switzer and Johnson, he’s not a complete criminal. He seems to be a good man caught in a very bad spot.
My favorite part of this? IT’S ALL TERRELLE PRYOR’S FAULT.
If that nimrod and his posse of asshats didn’t decide that hanging out with drug dealers and selling trophies for free tats (while riding in “loaner” cars) was a good idea, OSU would be fine and dandy right now. Not saying there wasn’t illegal activity before TP, but he’s the superstar who made the whole college football world pay attention.

I will reserve my final judgment on Tressel until more facts come out (you can publish that Dohrmann article any time now, SI), but right now I can’t help but feel a little pity for a seemingly good guy and worthy adversary who’s losing a job he loves for mistakes I’d like to think he genuinely regrets.
On the other hand, I have no pity for Pryor and the rest of the players who knowingly and willfully broke clear rules and created this whole mess for OSU. Sure, “everybody does it,” but these particular players obviously took their conduct to a new level. And yes, we here at Penn State are very lucky that Pryor didn’t come here.

NCAA and Ohio State performing a “significant” investigation of Terrelle Pryor
Today is the day that I’d like to find all the people that thought we were headed to disaster that we didn’t get Pryor, and laugh in their faces.
The gem though:
For what it’s worth, Ohio State blog Eleven Warriors has heard from “a pretty reliable source” that Pryor may have played his last down for the Buckeyes. All this and that long-awaited Sports Illustrated story on Tressel hasn’t even hit the Internet yet.
And yet Newton gets off scott free.
As much as I want to grin, I can’t. The NCAA is an inept organization. What if Mr. Pryor was the one receiving the cars, and may or may not have let T.P. drive them now and then? Would that make it okay? Because I guarantee Cam received some benefit by way of daddy for the finder’s fee.

He is most likely done for the entire season now. He’s got OSU AND the NCAA doing a special inquiry and investigation FOR HIM ALONE.

Standing on the sidelines in street clothes while getting booed for the entire game and having things thrown at him from the stands? That would take either an immense amount of stupidity, or giant titanium balls. And this is all assuming that OSU doesn’t kick him off the team for going full retard and thinking he could get away with it.

Ohio State fans in general...
If anyone needed any more evidence of just how douchey, toolish, and generally reprehensible OSU fans are, consider this purely anecdotal evidence:
I live in Charleston, SC and, for some reason, the Vest’s resignation made tonight’s local NBC evening news. The sports guy must have been on vacation because the anchorwoman was reading the sports news. Well, she pronounced the Vest’s name as tra-SELL several times. Later in the broadcast she jokingly mentioned to the yuckity weatherman that, “If I get one more email from an Ohio State fan correcting my pronunciation of Tressel’s name…”
My point? At least one, probably dozens of snooty, spoiled, blowhard OSU fans actually took the time to email a local anchorwoman, in South Carolina!!!!!, because she pronounced his effing name wrong.
There is why the local’s love the “Go Back To Ohio” website.
Marge: "Oh Homer. You're only hearing what you want to hear."

and not she-crab soup, I aint listening.

I love that too (with sherry on top!)
But shrimp and grits is the first thing I thought of. I have also had decent she-crab soup in other places, including the NE. Shrimp and grits is either not on the radar, or not very good, outside of South Carolina.
Hm,
never had the nerve to try it anywhere else. Having an average version of something great is somehow more disappointing than having terrible food somewhere new. I just try to avoid it.

there's a new restaurant open in Greencastle
that just put shrimp and grits on their menu (along with lobster mac and cheese) and it was SO GOOD.
Fire Dan Snyder
I think someone just told me about that,
what is the name? Is it where the old Antrim House used to be?
On a side note, did you ever eat at the little cajun place in Greencastle back in the early nineties/late eighties. Place was fabulous. I was very sad to see it go away.
My grammer skills need improved.
yes, that's it exactly!
I forget the new name, but the same people own another restaurant, I think maybe in Mechanicsburg? My father and his wife are regulars, they are there like 3 nights a week. The ambiance is pretty nice (better than Antrim House), and they have a rotation of local brews on tap. The chef changes the menu pretty often so I’m not sure how long the shrimp & grits will be on the menu.
I don’t know of any Cajun place, I just go up there to visit the family, and they’ve only lived there since my dad retired in 2003.

May God bless JimTressel. I have to say, if ever I need anyone on my side, I would choose Jesus Christ and Jim Tressel. Two men that have made tremendous sacrifice for human-kind in our day. We may worship you in different mindsets, but your duty and service for others can never be forgotten. The media likes to kick both of you without any regard, but we will never forget your contributions. Thank you for your service and your commitment to us. We will never forget you.
Really? Jesus and Jim Tressel. Yes, one died for our sins, the other is a liar who withheld information from his university and “compliance department”, but I can understand how there are parallels that one might draw.

but I feel that he’s lived a while in this world where he can get whatever he wants and do whatever he wants, because he’s Terrelle Pryor. and I’d like him to get a wake up call, and realize you can’t just skirt through life on some modicum of talent—you need to work at least a little bit for it. Ideally, he’ll realize this and change his ways—I’d like to see him develop some modesty, but I’m not sure if that could happen or what it would take for it to happen.

National Title, Big Ten Titles, wins...
how much of that stuff gets a haircut by the NCAA?
If you think about it in recruiting terms, PSU’s presence in Ohio since Tressel arrived at OSU has been minimal as compared to pre-Tressel. In the 80’s and 90’s we were getting just about anyone we wanted out of Ohio—Blackledge, Carter, Enis, Hartings, Jurevicious—the list is extensive. Once Tressel arrived, our presence was minimal and we lost a lot more of those same recruiting battles than we won. Now, we all know why. It’s not that PSU can’t recruit anymore, it’s just that Tressel pays better.
