Jim Tressel (National Champion, ex-President, Youngstown State University, CFB HOF)

Jim Tressel (National Champion, ex-President, Youngstown State University, CFB HOF, Lt Gov of Ohio)​

Re: During his coaching days, Tressel was called the “Senator” for seemingly sounding like a politician when asked about offensive play-calling or blocking schemes.

Just sayin': Maybe they should have called him "Governor"....... :lol:

Love that guy

Damned if that didn't choke me up
It did me. I was adamant we were getting Coach Meyer and I’m so glad Coach Day is here.

That said, Coach Tressel will always be the coach I remember most. I was in high school when he won it all and in college during those fantastic runs to bring the school to dominance. I was so sad to see his exit for something so stupid. He deserves this.

So damn glad to see this news.

I was bawling when I called my folks after the national title. JT will always be a hero to me after the misery of Coach Cooper.
