Jim Tressel OSU hire in 2001
- Thread starter Redmich
- Start date
Saw him at Hyvee this afternoon. Was in line for the Chinese bar.
Was He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Fooks
For to get a big dish of beef chow mein?
He said he just got his cable installed and thought he'd try the local places. I suggested he try Mr Hui next time.
Send lawyers, guns and money
They opened up a second location in Lincoln and called it Mr. Hui's Number Two. That has to be the best name for a restaurant ever.
Theres a place in Carol Stream IL called Chinese Ho. I want l eat there on a business trip just to be able to submit an expense report for “Chinese Ho”
There’s a strong chance this place will implode regardless of who is hired.
If we don't have a new coach announced by Monday, some fans' anxiety is going to go through the roof.
I know. I’m just pointing out that just because you come from the top FCS program doesn’t mean you’ll succeed at a high level at a FBS school.
I lived in Columbus at the time of the hire... It was not a pleasant announcement. Many fans were not happy. His style of play was not as popular as you think. Chris Speilman had the best analogy of it, punt and play defense until the opportunity to score presents itself. Tressel took very few chances on offense, he lived off his defense, and would he would flip the field on punts. Once the field was flipped he would take more chances on offense. Most people in Columbus hated it.
I believe he is bowl eligible 3 years in a row now. I think it is the first time in school history for 3 straight years. He has turned the team around and has several players from Nebraska on it.
I think he will continue to improve the team and compete for conference championships. His loss to Boise last week kept them from the CCG. They play solid football. Rome wasn't built overnight.
He's been there for 7 years. He has reached his ceiling.
I think he will continue to grow it. He is slowly getting better players and are being drafted on a regular basis. Time will tell.
Laramie is kind in the middle of nowhere with crappy air service. I’m not sure how well Bohl recruits. Allen had to beg for a scholarship
He is the one who laid the foundation for what is happening now, basically the Bobfather. Yes he won 2 back to back.
Absolutely right he built that program when he arrived 2003, after being Nebraska D/C from 2000-2003 and LBer coach from 1995 -1999..
I personally know him..
I listened to an interview with him on ESPN (prior to being woke) when he first took over at Wyoming, and I was very impressed. He has a vision and knows the recipe for success. It is coming to fruition. The [program at Wyoming is here to stay, the foundation is not built on sand.
Yes ESPN used to be so antiwoke when they literally had political shows called outside the lines and sports reporters that were pure politics. Not to mention you no longer have jemele hill, Keith olbermann or skip Bayless now. ESPN is less political and better now than it ever was.
