Miles vs. Tressel
How does everyone think the coaching staff matchup will play itself out? The gut reaction is to say this is a strong advantage for Ohio State, but it should be noted that Miles has beaten 6 different coaches who have won crystal trophies:
Stoops
Fulmer
Meyer
Saban
Spurrier
Coker
that's also not including Tubberville who is an outstanding coach and in 2004 did everything he could have done to get that crystal trophy, or Beamer who is one of the most respected coaches in the game.
Don't get me wrong, I think Tressel is the best coach in the country and I would still give OSU the advantage in this category, but a much smaller advantage than a lot of people would give as a gut reaction.

Tressel "owned" him in the '04 Alamo Bowl

If you struggle taking criticism, then you need to not be at Ohio State or not be playing the game of football.

Wow, I hope your staff and players think of our team as being on the same level as 2004 Oklahoma State.

I don't think anyone would be so foolish to suggest that this year's LSU team is comparable to that Oklahoma State team.
However, to anyone who watched the game, it was quite obvious that Tressel's team was far more motivated and prepared to play than Miles' team was. |
