I don't think it's impossible that RR could have an effect on Tressel leaving. I think it's enormously unlikely, however, given Tressel's track record. The guy is 6-1 against scUM, won more than 10 games in 5 of the last 7 years, won an MNC game, coached for 2 more MNC's, and coached in BCS games 5 of the last 6 years. His winning percentage is right up there with Pete Carrol over that span.
Now, I do think it's possible that RR could get him run out of town. The only way I see that happening, though, is if RR somehow frames Tressel for a string of murders, each more diabolical and cruel than the last. I mean, let's face it: RR would have to beat Tressel's boys 5 straight games by 30 points per game to even dent Tressel's image, and that sure as hell isn't going to happen. So I'm going to stick to my crime theory.

The only way RR will be involved in JT leaving OSU is if JT calls for a taxi and RR is driving.

based on coaching abilities, staff, continuity and talent depth that is currently in place. I think it will be unlikely that RR will get the upper hand on Tress anytime soon, by soon i mean next 2-4 years at a minimum.
But the reality is that this series does go in cycles, and there will be a time when scUM does have the upper hand in this series once again. It is even possible that sometime within Tress' tenure it happens, you never know. I hope not, and based on the current situation it seems like that is far off, but unfortunately at some point in time the worm will turn.

I agree.
That is as much thought as I will put into it before it happens. Until then, I intend to enjoy the present immensely.

Yes, the last few years really have been a present.  |
