I just think it is way too late in the game to hire away another sitting HC, and - with the risk of elevating an inexperienced head coach from a coordinator position - why not just roll the dice with Tressel for the season?

You just had a coach resign in disgrace. Why replace him with another coach that resigned in disgrace? And I mean, if you want to try to run an athletic program with integrity, Baylor's not a good role model.

Mike Tressel is MSU's DC, and a candidate for the position. He is the nephew of Jim, former HC at OSU, whom you are referring to leaving a program "in disgrace".

I also said the circumstances are vastly different with Baylor's, but the timing of both searches are similar. At this point in the game, a school will be hard pressed to find solid candidates looking to make the jump with signing day today and Spring practices around the corner.
