Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine picked former Ohio State University football coach Jim Tressel as lieutenant governor for the remaining two years of his term.

"He has the requisite skill sets, he has the criteria that I outlined. He knows Ohio," DeWine said. "Jim Tressel, I trust his judgment. He is a born leader."

Tressel retired a year ago as president of Youngstown State University.

DeWine said he visited Tressel at his northeast Ohio home nine days ago to talk to him about taking the job.

Tressel said DeWine's offer for the job was a "surprise for sure."

"I thought he was just coming to watch a couple grandkids play basketball," Tressel said of the visit.

President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance's victory set off a chain reaction of political vacancies in Ohio. DeWine appointed then-Lt. Gov. Jon Husted to fill Vance's U.S. Senate seat.

He’s one of the dirtiest coaches of all time-(and stupidest). He was fired for using his Ohio state email account to steer athletes to boosters paying money$$$. He was caught using the university’s official email one year AFTER Houston Nutt’s patriot act debacle.

Well, he’s always been good at under-the-table deals. Makes sense

Please explain how the Patriot Act applied to Nutt’s debacle.

The Patriot Act is a federal law regarding surveillance. It has nothing to do with a state level open records law.

Tressel will fit into politics well. He’s a scumbag of the highest order.

At least get it right because what you posted is nonsense. He was let go because he received an email about what the players did and he sat on it. All he had to do was forward the fricking email and he chose not to do that.

I am constantly amazed at the willful ignorance people show on this point. You are absolutely correct. Someone recently showed the replay on the catch in regulation called incomplete.

Also, the PI was easily defensive holding at least.

The whining over that game shows a complete lack of iq and pathetic lives of many.

The 30 tor 30 from the douchebag Canes alum didn't help (Duh Yoo Part 2)

Hell, Duh Yoo Part One was full of glaring omissions to push his narrative (Flutie, Teague, Tennessee).

I have talked to a few CFB head coaches in my time, and ALL of them loved the "sweater vest". They said the football factory and darkside of CFB got him. Turned a great guy into some one willing to over look cheating and scumbaggery to win. They said cfb will bring even the best people down, it's a dark, scummy game.

Even tho, they still love the guy as a person.
