Former OSU Coach Jim Tressel Talks About His New Job
Wednesday May 2, 2012
AKRON, Ohio - The man who was once the most recognizable name in Ohio college football, has started his new job on another Ohio campus.
Jim Tressel is now the Vice President for Strategic Engagement at the University of Akron.
Tressel talked about making the transition from being a Buckeye to a Zip on Tuesday.
Tressel said that people still call him coach and that's just fine, ONN's Cristin Severance reported.
"That's something I take as a compliment because I feel like a coach is a teacher and that it is a 24 hour job," said Tressel from his new office at Buchtel Halll.
Tressel won't have have any involvement in the Akron football program. He also will not be on the sidelines.
"No, I won't get to call any plays or run any practices or blow any whistles," Tressel said. "I won't get to come to work in a sweat suit part of the time either."
A sweater vest, however, is hanging in his office closet.
"I've got the University of Akron sweater vest right here, but as you know it's not a sweater vest kind of day here in Northeast Ohio, it's a little warm," Tressel joked.
