Football Coach Les Miles Rating - LSU

Interesting site. Look at a guy like Les Miles and player opinion and then what OSU players think of Jim Tressel. I was hoping Pete would be on there, but from what I here players love him. Tressel is an impressive guy. So humble and just incredibly workman like in his approach. I have a ton of respect for what he has done and how he goes about doing it

OSU coach makes rounds at Beavercreek

After getting a verbal commitment from Beavers star Domicone, Tressel drops by school for a visit.

BEAVERCREEK ? When the door opened, about two dozen Beavercreek High School students turned around in their chairs with cameras and cell phones ready.
In walked Jim Tressel, the Ohio State football coach visiting the school while visiting Zach Domicone, and he met a set of flashes.


He made it to the front of the room, where the students asked him to pose with Beavercreek football coach Scott Clodfelter. "Is this a photography class?" Tressel joked.

Mr. Tressel comes to Beavercreek

By Kyle Nagel | Monday, January 28, 2008, 08:01 PM


BEAVERCREEK ? It wasn?t unlike a visit from the President of the United States.
On Monday, Jim Tressel came to Beavercreek. He made his visit to Zach Domicone, the Beavers? quarterback and defensive back whose whirlwind recruitment has ended with a scholarship to play for the Buckeyes. His story is one of the wildest of any midwest recruit, but that tale is for another day.
As it was clear today, Domicone was on the back burner when Tressel was in town.
I had been talking to Scott Clodfelter, the Beavercreek football coach, earlier in the day when he said reporters were invited to the school today to see Tressel come into town. If Tressel had been visiting Wayne or Trotwood, it might not have been such a big deal. But this is Beavercreek, where Domicone is the first BCS conference recruit since ? well, awhile. And it?s a Beavercreek school system and community that watched its first winning high school football season in 15 years with Domicone finishing his senior year.

As 16 yr coach for the much smaller Youngstown State, Tress had made inroads in the smaller high schools to get the recruits the 'big fish' let get away. He built up his network within Ohio, which was one huge reason that Geiger picked him (thank goodness!).

It appears that Tress is not only maintaining his network, but expanding it, by keeping in touch with the smaller schools even though he is a 'big fish' (note - the biggest in Ohio, and as of the last several years, one of the biggest in the planet!). It shows what a class act he is, to visit the high school AFTER he got the verbal commitment. I gotta think that many coaches would cut and run once they had the verbal. I think this shows why Tress is a 'keeper' and OSU will own Ohio recruits for as long as Tressel is at the helm. All this augers well for OSU and the Buckeye Nation.

Transcript of Tressel's Press Conference introducing the 2008 Class:

The original Video of the same

COACH TRESSEL: Thank you so much. An exciting day for the Buckeyes. We have a lot in store for you here in the next hour and we have quite an array of folks here in the room. There's a bunch of good folks from the university that were very impactful in hosting and helping and arranging our recruiting class and of course our coaching staff did an extraordinary job and there are even some parents here, which is a little unusual, this being a dead period right now in recruiting, but it just so happens that two of the leaders in this class are enrolled right now, so their parents are no longer the parents of recruits, but they're the parents of current players.
And you're going to have a chance to hear from two of the leaders of this class here at the podium. And you may even hear from their parents because I understand that one of them has volunteered to speak on behalf of the parents' association as the newest members and we'll have a chance to hear from John Peterson, our recruiting coordinator, who's going to talk a little bit about the class.
We thought one of the things we would do a little different is we have a brief highlight film put together that has a couple shots of each of the guys and we're just going to let it run a little bit, talk over the video as we look at it and talk a little bit about the class as a whole, it's an extraordinary class and we're excited about it, and then of course have a chance to answer questions. Our coaches are here. We'll have a chance to break out at the end to talk about how they feel about this group.
So if Quiz is here -- are you ready, Quiz? I'll step back here and pretend we're in a team meeting and I've got the clicker. Please turn off your cell phones.

One of only two comments related to the em, TP question.

We're still recruiting as we speak and that's about all we're allowed to say about that. I guess we're allowed to say we're still recruiting at the quarterback position. I think that's allowable. Can't go much beyond that. So we think this is an extraordinary class.

While Ohio State coach Jim Tressel was in Eden Prairie, Minn., this week visiting recruit Willie Mobley, he asked Mobley to introduce him to another Eden Prairie student-athlete, Melissa Feste. Feste has committed to the Buckeyes to play women's hockey.
Mobley found Feste in a physical education class and introduced her to Tressel, who gave her his card and told her to call him if she needed assistance when she arrives in Columbus

I can think of another coach, as long as the female athlete was dating a stud WR or something. :tongue2:
