yeah a change is definatly in line if things dont' change.... I think Tressel already realizes this. I forget the quote but it was last week after our loss to Iowa. He stated something that was very close to pointing at our Offensive line coaching, and also our play calling.Tell you what though if you give tressel 2 months to game plan for some reason he throws all sorts of things at a team. I just don't understand why he can't be that creative all the time???

So if we don't go to a bowl game for 3 years Jim Tressel will be our coach indefinately. I'm not talking about 9-2 or even 8-3 seasons I'm talking about 4-7,5-6 or worse records. I find that hard to believe.

...what makes you think this could happen? Is it the 3 losses in a row? Or was it the 2 BCS wins in a row with the same philosophy?

New blood for the Offence?

Interesting thread from the O zone and the insiders.

"Ron Erhardt(NFL O.C.) was at the WH today---Reports from one of the assistants in the football recruiting office, was that he was interviewing about becoming, or possibly assisting Jim Bollman as Offensive Coordinator and assisting or taking over the playcalling from Jim Tressel. Has a long background with the Tressels. Coached with Lee Tressel at Baldwin Wallace. Interesting development"

and

"Ehrhardt, 72 years old, has been around for a long, long time. He was a head coach at North Dakota State (won at least one national championship) in the late 1960s and early 1970s, then went to the New England Patiots for quite a few years and was head coach there, 1979-81.

He was Bill Parcells' OC for a couple of Super Bowl winners (1986 and 1990) with the Giants. And of course, he was with the Steelers as the OC (about 1992-95) and developed ways for Kordell Stewart to touch the ball in his pre-QB years there.

Ehrhardt has coached in every offensive system known to man.

Hard to imagine Ehrhardt was in the WHAC for more than social call or two act as a consultant or trouble-shooter."

I don't think it will happen its just me and bucklion were discussing the influence of the alumni and other things. You really need to read the whole thread.

Do I? I mean... saying if "JT had 3 seasons below .500 that he wouldn't coach the team" in defense of a comment you made means that you meant you believed it earlier in the thread. Right?

You cannot even discuss things on the board because some people pile on and over react.
Soul can Bucklion and I discuss things about OSU coaching? please........pretty pleaseeeeeee. From now often I guess I will PM you and get permission.

Obviously Bucklion is a hell of alot more knowledgable than I am about the OSU Alumni. He gave me his opinion based on his knowledge and experience. His information conflicted with what I have been told about how fickle they are. I have taken what he told me and kinda registered it because I usually read his posts and respect his opinion.

Now if you cannot see that he and I were having a hypotehetically discussion its too damn bad.

Some people on this board are becoming board nazis. Please don't correct my grammar, spelling, and other shit about my posts. I haven't lived with my mommy for a long time and I don't need a replacement. If I fuck up as a poster I will be man enough to admit because I have done it before.

I'm not trying to piss you off just please get off the whole "your asking for JT'S head conspiracy theory." Sherlock Holms would have given up on the case a long time ago.

Honest question.

Does anyone remember any coach in any sport ever changing his way of doing things because of pressure?

I think it's fair to say that Woody changed his style over the years. He won with Johnny Borton and a wide open (for the 50's) passing game. He went to 3 yards and a cloud of dust and won. He went to option ball when he had Kern and Corny Green and won.

I have also have seen many coaches have to fire/shake up staffs in order to keep the heat off their own ass.

I don't think anyone in their right mind is saying fire JT after this year no matter how bad it gets. He has earned a second chance by beating scUM 2/3 and winning a NC.

The reason his leash will be shorter with the fans/alumni is the glaring weaknesses that have been appearent from day 1 and are now coming back to bite us.

It's not like we have been hammering people for 2 years and now that all that talent has gone to the NFL we are struggleing a bit, no, those offensive struggles have been there from the beginning. The wins have kept the dogs at bay but because they were such "ugly" wins the dogs have been circling nonetheless.

My personal opinion is that in an 11 game season a school with the tradition, talent and resources of OSU should never be worse than 8-3/7-4 and there better be some 9-2/10-1 championship seasons sprinkled in there.

Are the expectations unreasonably high at OSU? Probably, but you know that before you take the job and they pay you very well to put up with it.
