Is he banned from coaching for any length of time by the NCAA as a result of the tOSU sanctions?

If not, why is his name not mentioned in SEC coaching search circles?

Thanks

I think it's 2 or 3 yrs he's unable to coach.

He is able to coach, but the school that is wanting to hire him has to go before the NCAA because of his show cause and be willing to take on a share of Ohio St.'s sanctions and penalties.

This explains his penalty..


Tressel was hit with a five-year, show-cause penalty for covering up rules violations, using ineligible players and lying to the NCAA. Show-cause penalties are supposed to be poison. Why would Kentucky go anywhere near him?

Tressel’s penalty is not as severe as, say, former Tennessee basketball coach Bruce Pearl’s. Tressel is allowed to recruit. He is allowed to hire a staff. He is required to sit out five weeks of meetings, practices and games before he can coach, and he cannot coach a bowl game in his first year — but these are trifles for the likes of Kentucky.

from wiki:
quote:

It (the NCAA) also imposed a five-year show-cause penalty on Tressel, which means any NCAA member that wants to hire him would have to "show cause" for why it shouldn't be sanctioned for hiring him, and could face severe penalties if he commits any further violations during that time. The order stands until December 19, 2016; given past precedent, it will likely have the effect of blackballing Tressel from the coaching ranks until the 2017 season. If Tressel ever coaches again during this period, he will be suspended for the first five games of the regular season, plus any conference championship game or bowl game.

I could see a program that is not close to being decent(Kentucky, Colorado, etc..) giving him a shot..But, if he gets caught cheating just a little, then the program would get blasted by the NCAA..

How exactly does one "show cause" for hiring him?

"We're so fricking desperate we don't care about the sanctions" ?

Tressel wouldn't need to do anything risky at Kentucky - he is a huge upgrade over their last two coaches.

He wouldn't need to do anything but show up at Colorado

If he ever coached again; I would highly doubt that he would something like that again.

He would be a good hire at Kentucky or Colorado and by the time the sanctions are lifted, he would have the program built back up.

Kentucky would make more sense than Colorado, geographically. But I don't think UK wants to give the NCAA any excuse to start turning over rocks in their athletic dept. Regardless of sport.

Considering we were on probation in the 2000's, I don't see how UK could even consider him. I find it hard to believe that he would ever be considered at UK.

Whether Kentucky or Tennessee, Tressel would be winning in a couple of years. The guy can recruit and is a proven winner.

I just hope that if he ever gets another chance to coach, he will not make the same mistake again.

He's landed two schools on probation. He won't get another chance.

Why would the third time be the charm? He did almost the exact same thing (the cover up) at Youngstown state but only beat the rap because the NCAA's statue of limitations had run out.
