The Sock Puppet Rides!


Recommended Posts


 

I could ride for Tressel + Frost.

I'd post snarky comments on Satan and the demons of Hell's message board for Tressel/Frost

 

 

If it actually turned out to be Tressel as new HC and Frost as our new OC I will seriously be super stoked for Nebraska football again. This would be insane given what just happened. Here we go.

I'm not trying to be argumentative but I seriously want to know why everyone is so gung ho about a Jim Tressel hire? Go ask buckeye fans what they remember about him. What I remember is conservative football to the point of madness. I specifically remember the seat kind of getting warm in Columbus before the whole Tatoo-gate thing because his teams were failing in the big games time after time. Granted I would take the success that he had while he was there in a heartbeat, but he was at the hands-down dominant program in the 4th largest recruiting hotbed in the country. One could argue that his teams, much like Mack Browns Texas teams, underperformed year after year.

 

That's not even mentioning the lack of integrity he showed when he hid knowledge of the tatoos for equipment thing going on with the players. In addition, what makes people think such a conservative football coach, who always ran a ball control type offense, would hire an O coordinator like Frost who would bring in an up tempo style offense. I just don't see it.

Easy. Frost is part of the package deal.

Lol that makes no sense. JT won't be at the mercy of Nebraska, it will be the other way around... If he wants Frost he would have him if it were mutual. It wouldn't go down any other way. He would have his pick of coordinators. Period.

Pretty valid concerns I agree. Its a splash name hire but the issues you raise are legit. One thing I will say is that while what he did was wrong i think alot of it stemmed from him being close to his players and trying to protect them and it got out of hand. I don't think he ran a dirty program. But yeah he isn't my first choice by any stretch

I think certain infractions are worthy of a second chance. Plus coaches can learn from past jobs on how to do things different.

It's like Kentucky hoops hiring Calipari.

 

Plus, what JT hid is what other players get away with now and more people want the athletes to get paid. A lot has changed since JT got busted. I admit, the thought of JT would be pretty sweet, but I question his integrity and feel like it's selling our souls for wins...like Kentucky hoops did.
