Tressel's New Gig
 

Don't remember how long Tressel's NCAA sanctions last but I won't be surprised to see him as a coach of the Zips one day after they expire...


Tressel taking administrative job at Akron

Former Ohio State coach Jim Tressel is going back to college.

Akron has called a 10 a.m. media briefing to announce it has hired Tressel, who was forced to resign last May amid a scandal at Ohio State. Tressel is taking an administrative position at the school, where he began his coaching career as an undergraduate assistant with the Zips. Tressel's new position is not in the school's athletic department.

Spokesperson Eileen Korey said Tressel and school officials had been in discussions since December, when he assisted Akron in its search for a new football coach. Akron hired former Auburn coach Terry Bowden.

Tressel served as a replay consultant last season for the Indianapolis Colts. He met with team owner Jim Irsay about the team's head coaching position but didn't get the job.

this is scandalist ......

I heard Tressel had JoePa over for dinner right before he passed away.

KU should have hired him instead of fat man.

He would be a great hire if not for the NCAA sanctions that would follow him to his next job.

I am not trying to be a dick, but would it have hurt KU that much short term? The long term benefits would outweigh the short term.

Oh yeah, Tressel would have been all over that. And Peyton wants to play for the Chiefs too.

I don't think he is a great coach, anyway.
