There were rumors last year that when he decided to retire he would take over the AD job.
Guess not anymore.
I figured he would have got axed after the hearing.
Glad he had enough pride/dignity to resign.
But if you look at what has happened in the press since that time, I don't think the timing is all that off. It gave Gee the weekend to consult with officials and time to bring Tressel in for a meeting to solidify things. Honestly, I was expecting this to happen at any time.
No. The tint of his resume flap will not go with Ohio State's image of cleaning stuff up. Just won't happen.
Just some names?:
Llyod Carr- Former Michigan HC
Charlie Weis
Peterson-Boise HC
Just some names

So does aOSU hire RichRod now? His record of Michigan defeats is impeccable.
WOW .... watching The Herd on ESPNU and I guess an SI article was coming out and Tressel had to pull a Kyle Busch and drive 120 mph home to announce his resignation.
Memorial Day isn't the day I'd expect to see announcements about college football coaches resigning. Plus, there hasn't really been any more news this month. Would've expected this news in March or April. Or in August when the NCAA hearing occurs. Choosing today seems strange.
Unless, of course, something else is about to hit the fan, and soon. That's what I'm fearing at this point.
Dude ... you're a Buckeye. Don't you know how badly our fan base would turn on itself if we even thought about that? Plus, Tressel owned Carr ... the vast majority of the Ohio State fan base has no respect for Carr what-so-ever.

So he was vacationing in FL, and took a flight immediately.
Talk about pub for this week's Sports Illustrated....sales of that to non-subscribers are going to go through the roof.
Maybe. Maybe it's just a coincidence. Lots of people are suggesting that President Gee's "special committee to analyze and provide advice to me regarding issues attendant to our football program" was basically a group dedicated to figuring out a way to settle on Tressel's resignation. So people are thinking it has been in the works for some number of weeks. The timing may not be anything more than that.
Meh. It's going to be posted online tonight. I'll go with the free version, lol.
