First of all, yes it is.
Second of all, I don't think Tressel is a sleezeball as much as he got caught in a bad spot and he made some really bad/dumb decisions to try to get out of it. You can't lie you're way out of trouble.
Well, everyone can have their own standards. I don't care for Tressel's.
And it's not just about the thing he got fired and sanctioned for, he has a long history in Ohio of a lot of shady dealings with boosters and recruits from YSU to Maurice Clarett and who knows how many other things he oversaw. You can give him some credit for insulating himself from getting caught for a long time, but that's about it. He's as dirty a coach as there is.
I do understand that a lot of fans will overlook or excuse anything as long as the team wins. Cheaty McSweatervest made a career relying on that fact.
This, Axe nails it again...Jim Tressel cheated for a long, long time. He failed to discipline players time after time after time. Going back to his YSU days. All the while painting the public picture of himself as a man to whom character was paramount. He is not someone that I want as Miami's next coach.
You mean you would not consider him a candidate as President of your University?
