Amazingly, I don't think I have quite realized what Tressel has meant to us Buckeyes. "Thank you" doesn't even do it. Wow... no words...

there have been so many misconceptions about tressel, on both ends of the spectrum.
some people think that his teams never make mistakes, and are so disciplined, etc. etc. (even though this particular team fumbled about one million times) other people think he's an old-fashioned conversative that runs up the middle every play, and is incapable of "opening up" the offense, blah blah blah. he's been here 5 years now, and I think that my conclusion, after watching him coach so many games, is this: - the one single truth about Tressel is that his offenses always seem to perform better, be more advanced and in-sync, at the end of the year compared to the beginning of the year. I am against a playoff system, but if they ever created one I would be able to get over it because the Buckeyes would excel in such a system. Tressel is not perfect. He has his flaws. But at the end of the year, I'm taking him over any other coach out there. And there are a few that I think are great coaches. Keep in mind, however, that he's only been here 5 years. It will be interesting to see how his offense performs after Troy Smith. If not for #10, Tress could be 2-3 against Michigan, and at least half of the fanbase would be calling for his head. The more his offense continues to succeed at the end of the season, with different players entering the mix every few years, the more I'll be convinced of his greatness as a coach. |

Smith is his player (and taken when we already had our savior in Zwick in the 02 class), so I'm not sure how you can take anything away from Tressel b/c TS has developed so well. Also, he stuck by him with tons of people berating Troy, especially early in 05 when Zwick looked pretty solid.

He has the right stuff. Period.

The thing I appreciate most about Tressel is the way he conducts himself on the sidelines. Especially when compared to IVLloyd, Charlie Weissass and Spurrier.

I remember the day he was hired. I was stationed in the UK at the time and my good buddy was a fellow Buckeye fan from Massillon. Everybody was asking who this Jim Tressel was that tOSU had hired. We knew of his track record at YSU and just told everybody "don't worry, he's going to do BIG things at Ohio State".

I still cringe when I hear the "conservative" label used to describe Tress.You don't run a fake field goal in the NC game if you are conservative.You don't run a spread offense if you are "conservative".Many more examples of not being conservative.And finally,Tress won with HIS recruits.So sick of hearing the "won with Coopers recruits" nonsense.If you don't think Tress has "re"established the respect for OSU,look at the polls.Great job and a great season.Thanks Tress! Go Bucks
