What would Tressel say???
This is a hypothetical post. That said, to anyone out there who has coached, or is a coach, or who wishes to respond in a non-hostile manner-What would/should Jim Tressel say to his defense who have bled their hearts out for OSU during the Texas/PSU games, and seen their efforts come for naught?
Should he say
A-We are a team. It doesn't matter what the offense does-we are all equally responsible for the outcome.
B-I have failed you as an offensive coordinator. You have done your best, and I have failed in mine.
C-You should have only given up 7 points, regardless of the situation you were placed in. You failed.
D- OSU as a program is bigger than any 05' team. Your efforts will be gloriously remembered as we do better in the future.

You gotta go with A. You win as a team and you lose as a team. Yes, the offense is not doing its part, but division in the locker room is the last thing we need.

I will add another option.
You played one helluva a game. The game plan was perfect but not executed. Had we not turned the ball over in our own Red Zone and had we not missed a FG we would have won 13-10 as expected.
It sucks but that's what I think he is thinking/saying.

I don't think they usually hand out GPA's for complaining about the offense with one sentence. I don't disagree necessarily with his viewpoint, but the criteria is usually a little different.

Yes, it's just like him to pin the blame on others and not take it himself 
F - We got beat by a tough team today. We made some bad calls, had some trouble executing, and lost a tough game. You guys fought hard, and I commend you for that.

At least JT's verbal tics are still somewhat articulate - unlike a certain coach for a school up north.

Here is what Tressel should say......"Sorry defense, I chose the wrong starting QB.....". Its that simple.
