“O-H!” Pleasant little read this morning, especially on a great coach. One of the greatest national championship games is Tressel’s Buckeyes win over Miami.
Tho he destroyed many teams, he also has us tearing up the furniture with nerves when a 20-3 half time lead turned into a 20-17 win based on exemplary punting. I believe he was a pioneer of analytics, of the brand that learned to shorten the game to eliminate chance/luck. The rules have changed enough that you can't bank on a defense to hold in the last 3 minutes. But he was a great coach and the teams had stellar talent.

I graduated high school with his daughter
He is great! I got to meet him when he was coaching at Youngstown St.. His father, Lee Tressel coached football at my high school in Massillon, OH.
