Much as I revere Coach Tressel, I think the next head coach needs to be a guy who is foursquare disciplinarian, who will exercise zero tolerance against any form of NCAA violation, and who will dismiss summarily any player who shows a desire to accept anything that NCAA rules say he cannot.

This kind of Draconian regime won't make me happy personally (I honestly think young men should get a little more slack), but the NCAA is going to have its sigmoidoscope so far up our ass, I don't see a feasible alternative.

I disagree we don't need a disciplinarian as much as we need a proven winner. Meter, Stoopsand pelini r at the top of my list. Along with gruden of course. Winning cures all. Ask alabama. Didn't they have severe sanctions a little while ago and hired saban and haven't looked back.

What coach fits that description? Unfortunately, given the status of big time college sports, I do not think a coach can be a foursquare disciplinarian and win a championship. Tressel was about as close as you get and the need to cross the line into the grey areas.

I agree with this. "Clean" programs don't have strict disciplinarians or beacons of morality as their head coaches - they have capable football men with a sufficient firewall around them to make sure that any NCAA problems fall on the shoulders of more replaceable people.

For as grave a mistake as Jim Tressel made in not forwarding those emails to compliance, the fact that he received them and was the first to read them was just as damaging.

Very good point.
I'd love to see Gruden but I don't think that will happen. We may need to find a new AD before a new HC search begins.

I'm certain the following names will be "thrown out" in the coming weeks and months - with absolutely no correlation to the likelihood either that they'd consider the position nor that they'd be considered for it.

Gary Patterson
Chris Peterson
Chip Kelly
Urban Meyer
Gus Malzahn
Nick Saban
Mark Dantonio
Bo Pelini
Mark Stoops
Bob Stoops
Mark Richt
Gary Pinkel
Tony Dungy
Mel Tucker
