Sick of hearing that Tressel was a "Man of Integrity"

All of the coaches interviewed today agreed on one thing ..... IF you hear of, know of, or suspect of something wrong, GO TO THOSE IN AUTHORITY and let them know ........... THE FIRST RULE OF COACHING ..............

Integrity, HE LIED, to protect his overpaid ass, to win football games, to keep the alumni and the administration happy, to keep the AD happy, but, most of all, to protect that multi-million dollar salary.

He and Bernie Madoff should get together and co-author a book on honesty and integrity. He has decimated an athletic program that has always been highly regarded around the country. And, he did it basically to protect his job, bottom line. He has been coaching long enough to know the rules, he just didn't get caught before. "Mommy when I grow up I want to play football for coach Tressel at Youngstown State." A kids dream, yea, really.

If the sanctions follow him he will have a hard time finding a coaching job anywhere, and if he does, he is going from the  penthouse to the basement. Hard for the ego. He might find a job doing color commentary at wrestling matches. Maybe go to work for the NCAA as a Violation Investigator. Takes one to know one, so to speak.

Enough of that, I predicted it would eventually happen when he took the job, so enough, already.
