That's very high praise. Do they have a close relationship? |

Not sure. Billick said he talked to Tressel before drafting Smith (this was where the reference came from). To be clear, that was a direct quote, he didn't say "in college football." |

He also said, "I promise you that much." 
Billick blows JT, and then takes TS, and yet they will never be not considered taboo for me...

WOW, that's some high praise. I think Urban may have something to say about that though. In the coaching business you are only as good as your last game.

Saw this little nugget at http://www.sportsline.com/collegefoo...story/10159415
It was a throwaway comment in an innocent blog (mine), but Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh caused a minor stir by claiming to have the skinny on the future of Southern California coach Pete Carroll.
" Perhaps the reason it's been up and down here [Stanford] is that no one has stayed here 20 years ... " Harbaugh told CBS SportsLine.com in March. "Charlie Weis is going to do that at Notre Dame. [Jim] Tressel at Ohio State. Pete's doing it. He's only got one more year, though. He'll be there one more year. That's what I've heard. I heard it inside the staff."
Oh, really? When the Los Angeles Times ran that back to Carroll, the Trojans coach replied: "If he's going to make statements like that, he ought to get his information right. And if he has any questions about it he should call me."
Best part about it: When Harbaugh was asked if he was quoted correctly he stood behind his statement. Jim Harbaugh is my new favorite coach for not throwing your correspondent under the bus.
I had it all on tape anyway but you've still got to like a guy who rides his bike to work in his old Indianapolis Colts warmup jacket.
