OHIO STATE FOOTBALL Bruce, Cooper will have desks in renovated facility Tuesday, February 27, 2007 Rob DeWolf THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH CANTON ? When the Ohio State football coaches move into their new digs at the renovated Woody Hayes Athletic Center next month, members of the current staff won?t be the only ones with offices. "There?s going to be a ?coaches emeritus? office," Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel said yesterday, "where (former) coaches (Earle) Bruce and (John) Cooper will have desks." In one of the few speaking engagements he has made in Ohio since the national championship game Jan. 8, Tressel addressed a crowd of about 400 yesterday at the Pro Football Hall of Fame Luncheon Club. |

That's pretty cool that the past coaches will be welcome with their own offices.
I like the idea. |

It is nice that even though they were fired, they have maintained a good relationship with the university. |

COMMENTARY Cooper, Bruce could be Tressel?s new brain trust Thursday, March 01, 2007 ROB OLLER I?ll say this for Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel. He?s a man of his word. When he says he?ll do whatever it takes to make the Buckeyes better, he means it. Even if that requires rubbing a couple of old salts ? Earle Bruce and John Cooper ? into the wound. Thanks to Tress, Earle and Coop will share an office in the renovated Woody Hayes Athletic Center. It?s obvious, isn?t it? Cover your weaknesses with strengths. Against Florida in the national championship game, Ohio State played like someone spiked its Gatorade with NyQuil. The Buckeyes displayed all the emotion of a Maytag repairman. So Tress solves the problem by hiring Bruce, the fiery former Ohio State coach who never met a topic he couldn?t turn into a motivational testimony. Cont'd... |

This would really be a whole lot funnier if it was another team. ![]() Last edited by ScriptOhio; 03-01-2007 at 08:44 AM. |

"Coop couldn?t beat Michigan, but he could beat the pants off most coaches when it came to evaluating and recruiting high school talent. And after the non-top 10 recruiting class that Ohio State coaches just brought in, the Buckeyes could use a guy like Coop to win over future blue chippers. So you have to hand it to Tress... Problem: recruiting. Solution: Coop." ![]() |

Why is this being treated as new news? We've dicussed this as far back as September of last year. I thought this was common knowledge months ago.

You are right, scooter. It was widely reported that Coop was actually riding around on the team bus during the Championship week-the office is a nice tidbit, but not a major story.

Like it or not Coop's team won the NC in 2002. Granted, they were coached by Tress (very well at that), but they were Coop's players.

Either way, it's nice to have positive thread fired former Head Coaches. Not too many boards would have one, I'd think. |

That's the beauty of the culture of Ohio State athletics
