I think the fact that we've heard absolutely nothing tells us a decision hasn't been made, either way. The fact that the rumor gained so much traction tells me it's at the very least a possibility. I'm still holding out hope.

You are NOT getting Eric Wolford. Thank You. Yeah Tressel would never leave either

He could be better. Lots of guys could win at Akron. I know this. I just mean until he wins games, in the eyes of the public he just isn't Tressel. Basically, and understandably, anyone that gets hired not named Jim Tressel is going to be a disappointment for most.

This is what will happen if Tressel doesn't come. Campbell would be a great hire, imo...but he just won't be Tressel.

congrats. people believed someone who works for the University radio station. Shocker.

what did you prove? that akron can't handle the spotlight for 3 hours?

If JT doesn't come here, does everyone resume hating him and calling him a cheater/scum etc? I'm curious to see how this progresses.

The fake student union rumor ruined a lot of the speculating. too many people took it and ran with it, now everything i see is talking about that...shame.

I'm 100% with you there

mod-war :popcorn emote:

just search "tressel" on twitter. it would be a tremendous add. trending in akron http://trendsmap.com/

I've never like Tressel, but watching the attention this is getting, it's not hard to imagine how much publicity would come if he was coaching on saturdays.

Anyone in here in charge of the facebook group? This is the status of the group currently "From a very good source, Tressel has turned down UA's offer and UA is moving on to other prospects." ...any truth?

There's a lot of people on here with "info." i hope for everyone's sake, it's legit.

For the record, I think those with "inside sources" should quit posting for a while if he isn't hired. If he is, then they can keep bringing the info, and I'll be grateful.

Wow you took the under? How negative of you, GP.

I respectfully disagree. It doesn't take a lot of talent to win in the MAC...It takes the right talent at the right places. OU isn't dripping with talent, yet they won 9 games so far this year. They have enough talent to win a coach that helps them win. Winters can get the right talent. I'm in this camp. The MAC stinks and a good coach can turn it around relatively quickly.

They're seeded higher. If we were seeded higher and didn't get a home game because someone draws more fans than us, we'd be angry as well. They should get the home game, they earned it and we didn't.

I don't think I've ever seen a fanbase that thinks there is such a rampant conspiracy against them.

They're dumb. I did a semester in Australia and they have them instead of 4 way stop signs. It's nice to never really stop but they're just annoying/confusing

So we finally get that big OOC win against a good team...and boom. Losses to stinkin Valpo and Duquesne. Good teams, but still. Disappointing.

We stink coming out of the half.

27-3? this is pathetic. Ianello has to go. We've gotten worse every game.

It can get worse, and it can create a mess that even a great coach down the road wouldn't be able to come in here and clean up. I guess. We can win 1 or 0 games in a two year span instead of 2...If they can be 8 all conference guys, I don't care how bad they hate each other. How many all-conference players do we have now? At least they like each other right? Low-risk, high-reward, imo. Although I will say this- it's only a short term fix. Someone needs to figure out a way to sustain some success.

I'm sorry, and I respect your opinion as a former player, but it can't get worse.
