Ohio State Ohio State Coach Jim Tressel Resigns



Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel has resigned, university sources told The Dispatch today. Less than three months after President E. Gordon Gee and Athletic Director Gene Smith said they fully supported their embattled coach, mounting pressure, a pending NCAA disciplinary hearing and new revelations about the culture of the program forced the university to act on their once-revered coach, sources said. Sources told The Dispatch they had begun discussing Tressel’s removal several weeks ago. Ohio State’s football program came under fire in December when six players were suspended by the NCAA for selling or trading uniforms and other memorabilia to a Columbus tattoo-parlor owner.

Damn Blue you got on this PDQ.

He's pulling a Pete Carrol. Getting out before the shit hits the fan. I must say though some school somewhere will be more then happy to hire him. Urban Meyers phone is ringing off the hook right now.

"I write to let you know that later this morning we will be announcing the resignation of Jim Tressel as head coach of the University's football program. As you all know, I appointed a special committee to analyze and provide advice to me regarding issues attendant to our football program. In consultation with the senior leadership of the University and the senior leadership of the Board, I have been actively reviewing the matter and have accepted Coach Tressel's resignation.

"My public statement will include our common understanding that throughout all we do, we are One University with one set of standards and one overarching mission. The University's enduring public purposes and its tradition of excellence continue to guide our actions,"

-Ohio State AD Gordon Gee
Yeah right.

H e may have been given a little nudge. Still, whatever it is, it's all of his own making. He should have stopped this long ago.
