Dantonio wasn't "let go". He got a job as a head coach. If he hadn't, he would still be the defensive coordinator at Ohio State.

I.m pretty sure that Mark Dantonio was offered the Cincy Bears job and Tress gave him his blessings and on Bill Conley he and Jim has some issues and parted ways on maybe some reconciable differences. Also i understand that Tim Spencer had issues with MO Clarett and did not think Jim should be coddling him.

Yeah I posted something and then my server crashed or something.
When you said letting someone go, I thought you were talking about JT showing someone the door instead of allowing them to go. I got you now.

PV grad, Buckeyes help young boy's dream come true
Mon. October 13, 2008; Posted: 02:10 AM Oct 13, 2008 (Star Beacon - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- -- In the world of big-time college football and the constant pursuit of excellence, to the outsider it probably seems such programs are cold, machine-like entities that have little time for anything or anyone else
Were he able, young Jacob Williams of Mansfield and his parents, Christine and Wes Bradley, would tell you that is certainly not the case with Jim Tressel and the Ohio State University football team. Their newfound friends, Sue and Courtney Horn of Gahanna, would second that emotion.
For, on the afternoon of Sept. 20, Tressel and his squad gave the 11-year-old boy the realization of his long-held dream by getting to meet many of the Buckeyes and the coach before their game against Troy. Thanks to the efforts of the OSU coaching staff, Jacob's dream came true.
Friends like Sue Horn, the daughter of Pymatuning Valley athletic director Ross Boggs and his wife, Eleanor, and her family, Jacob was able to actually get onto the field before the game. He was able to meet many of the players and Tressel, obtain autographs and get his picture taken with several of them.
Such a gesture has left an impression on the Bradleys and their son, who was diagnosed with his brain tumor in March 2007 after Jacob started complaining of severe headaches and nausea. Jacob's tumor is now as a Glioblastoma and is located in the thalamic region of his brain.
"We were big Buckeye fans before this," Christine Bradley said. "Now, we'd root for them no matter whether they won or lost."
Sue Horn agrees with that.
"I was very impressed with Coach Tressel and all the players," she said. "We definitely have extra reasons to root for the Buckeyes now."
Courtney Horn, a 17-year-old junior at Lincoln High School, and her family can identify with the issues Jacob and his family having encountere, having been diagnosed with a benign brain tumor and undergoing treatment for the better part of two years. To witness the Buckeyes take the time to grant Jacob's wish was truly meaningful to her.
"It was the best day of my entire life," she said. "I knew Coach Tressel and the team were a bunch of good guys, but I was really impressed with them after that.
"I'm sure that anyone who meets Jacob has their spirits lifted. I hope they won for Jacob."
Making connections
The shared bond of dealing with pediatric brain tumors brought the Bradleys and Horns together. They read about each other through the Web site CaringBridge. Free Websites That Support And Connect Loved Ones During Critical Illness., which serves as a means of communicating the stories of children afflicted with brain tumors to serve as a support systems for their families and an educational tool for the public in general.
Sue Horn and her husband of 20 years, Verlin, are well aware of the challenges of caring for a child with a brain tumor, even a benign one. When Courtney, the oldest of their three children, was diagnosed with her tumor in December 2006, they and their two younger children -- Emily, 16, a freshman at Lincoln, and Zachary, 13, a seventh grader -- went through all manner of trials and tribulations.
