I doubt any school district received an "Excellant" rating...at least I hope not. If you are going to attempt to denigrate a school district, you should at least be able to spell basic words.
Go to another article on Penn State and he is supporting them saying NCAA Pres. Emmert is going to be brought up on criminal charges (comical notion since the PSU BoT agreed to the penalties as a settlement). Funny that Penn State fans still want to rail on Tressel after what has come out about their god.
Yes, taking a position for $200K is quite a reward after being forced out of a $3.2+M job.
I'll never understand the disdain for this man that many in this valley have, especially after what he did and continues to do for the university and community.
So you are proud of losing to Appy State? Congrats. You bring up tOSU's losses to Florida and LSU. How about scUM's 0-3 Rose Bowl performance in the last decade? Something to be proud of. Any isn't scUM on probation as we speak for NCAA violations? Yes...for cheating by violating practice rules to get a competitive advantage on the field. Probably worse then trading something for a tattoo.
Keep on hanging onto your 8 pre-1950 national titles and your early 1900's dominance of tOSU. Your great grandfather can tell you about those teams. By the way - your god Bo never one a national title.
His hand was forced to announce his resignation on monday. It wasn't his choice. He was told to quit or be fired on sunday night. Throughout his career he has shown nothing but support for the troops. To say that he somehow intentionally announced it on memorial day to dishonor anyone is another cheap shot at the man.
And Redvert, if you think the decision regarding the emails was so black and white as to say his motive was purely sinister is shortsighted at best. The fact is that Ed Rife is a bad man and I am sure he had his concerns over his players hanging out with a man of that character. Sure he wanted to win, thats his main job afterall, and I am sure he thought nothing would come of the memorabilia sale, so he made a bad mistake. But I don't think it was as sinister as the media makes it, there are a lot of other emotions involved when kids you care for are putting themselves in precarious situations.
I do think he really messed up by not coming clean in December, but he lost his job because of it. Yet the NCAA, through lobbying by the sugar bowl, let the players play. Why? Because it was in their financial interest. Amazing the hypocrisy that is the NCAA.
Looking out for kids that you care about is not being a sleezebag. And he is a good man who has paid the ultimate penalty for his transgressions, losing the job he has loved and coveted for his entire life. Stop making this out to be something its not. Attacking his character is short sighted, but I expect that of the youngstown public. Not sure why he would continue to donate and support this area when there are so many haters. The players, as well as the awful compliance department, had their hand in the end of his tenure. College football and the ohio state university have suffered a huge loss here.

Assistant law director at the center of a controversial text-message investigation gets fired
Caving into pressure from public perception and Gains' supporters is hardly having a "spine to do whats right". Its pure politics.
Its a case of the coverup being much worse than the crime.
I also find it funny that if Jay didn't run against Paul, none of this happens.
Cue Billweaver trying to get more hits to his site.

Legend33 - you are a pathetic individual to make such a statement.
Adam, thank you for your service to this country and my condolences.
