Ohio HS FB coaches suggest honoring Tressel

FYI -- they're kidding, right?

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio High School Football Coaches Association has suggested that members honor former Ohio State coach Jim Tressel this fall.

Association Secretary **** Kerschbaum says the group has proposed that high school football coaches in the state wear a white shirts and ties to their first games of the season. The recognition is designed to thank Tressel for his years of service to high school football.

The decision to participate in the recommendation will be left up to each coach.

Tressel was inducted into the association's hall of fame last Friday.

Tressel's 10-year tenure at Ohio State ended May 30 when he resigned amid revelations that he knew players were trading memorabilia for cash and tattoos in violation of NCAA rules and covered it up for nine months.

Fail.

Sweater vests or GTFO.

Also, all players encouraged to have at least one permanent or temporary tattoo for the first game.

I think if I were the NCAA, I would send a letter to the OHSFCA that if this proposal passes, no active OHSFCA members will be permitted to set foot on the grounds of football-playing NCAA member institution, and no members will be allowed to be hired by any NCAA institution in any capacity, for a time period of one year, commencing on Sept. 1, 2011.

The following week, the OHSFCA will observe "Woody Hayes Memorial Punch a Kid in the Throat Week."

The first week in October will be "Earle Bruce Lose Your Top Talent Week" where the top 100 football recruits in the state go visit Notre Dame, Michigan, Sparty and Penn State.

Overreact much?

Horse****, he's overreacting. Were I a high school principal and found out my football coach was in on this or approved somehow, he'd either be disassociating himself with it or find another job. Tressel proved to be a lying, hypocritical crook, like too many other coaches before. All he deserves is a life in shame.

Coaches in Kentucky will fire an assistant operations guy and accept a 20 percent raise - while on vacation.
Coaches in Southern California will find housing for their best players.
I wonder if coaches in Michigan ever got liquored up and yelled at restaurant patrons out of respect?

Naw. Just a teachable moment in which the NCAA could take it upon itself to teach the collective HS football coaches in Ohio, "If you intend to coach college football, follow the rules. If you want to pay official tribute to a guy who flagrantly and blatantly didn't, you get to take a year off from setting foot on NCAA campuses or applying for jobs with NCAA football schools. If you don't like them apples, we suggest you deep-six your little resolution. Or change it to something like, 'good luck in the future, Coach Tressel.' "

So it's not enough for the NCAA to punish Tressel and Ohio State, but you want the organization to punish anyone who respects the job Tressel did over the course of 25 years as a head coach? Oh, no ... that's not overreating at all!

The holier-than-thou types are allowed to try to tell a bunch of high school football coaches how they should feel about a guy who was revered in their state for years. But those coaches also have the right to tell those people to get bent.

Here's hoping they do just that.

Hooray for the rulebreakers!!

It's not that simple.

The high school coaches do not hold Tressel in some reverence because he danced around the NCAA rules. They respect him for something else altogether, such as his cooperation with the coaches. The different aspects CAN be separated.

Tressel's not all bad, just as he's certainly not all good.

Oh, yeah . . . he was a fracking angel at Youngstown State, too.

The trail is long and bloody. He made out like a bandit. I won't cry a minute for this particular fake.

You know, considering the amount of money involved in big-school recruiting, it seems naive not to think some falls into the pockets of high school football coaches.
Not that that would necessarily have anything to do with this inane gesture.
