re: Continuing the Ohio St. theme: Tressel's legacy to OSU fans?

Some coaches are effective because they understand football at a different level and are able to out coach the majority of their opponents.
Some coaches are effective because they genuinely care about their players, therefore getting said players to give their all every Saturday.
Tressel, in my opinion, is that special coach that embodies both of those qualities. I have more respect for Jim Tressel than any other living coach, even taking into account the violations he committed. Of course, I even give him credit for not trying to drag down the OSU administration when they threw him under the bus.

Still love him. Think Urban is better, but Tressel will likely still go down as my favorite coach of all time.

I like the way he put this. Tressel was a one-of-a-kind guy. All you had to do was watch that Maurice Clarett 30 for 30.
People put him down for the whole tattoo-gate scandal. He did violate the rules and did something wrong, but he was trying to protect his players and that was his priority. Players loved him and he loved them and it definitely showed.
