| I mean if we are looking at guys like Doug Marrone and Bill O'Brien why not give the guy an interview. |

I will have to pass on that level of conservative.

As I slowly give up on my hopes for Zimmer because its become clear we are interested in an offensive minded coach, I would say Tressel is an impossibility as his offense is offensive.

Richardson, dive, 3 yards. Richardson, off tackle, 2 yards. Weeden incomplete to Jordan Cameron. Punt. Field position.
Yuck.
Never gonna happen, and for good reason.

As much as I like Tressell as a college football coach, he would just get eaten alive in the NFL in my opinion.
Peace!!

| Maurice Carthon has a more dynamic offense than Tressel |

Seriously that would be worse than Shurmur. We would run the ball 35 times a game and kick 4 FGs a game. Punt every 4th and inches even from our the opponet 35 because a 52 yard FG is too risky for Tressell.

He'd make a nice team chaplain. I think we should give Terrelle Pryor a few looks as our starting quarterback next year as well. The Cleveland area has some great tattoo artists.
I'll pass. He's not an NFL coach.

If Chip was a viable option as a HC in Cleveland, you would think Tressel would be just as a viable option. He won as many games and has a National Championship under his belt. Not saying we should hire him, but its kind of ironic that many hold Chip to a higher standard based on an offense none of us are sure would work in Cleveland.

Aside from Tressel's personality not attracting the professional athlete type of guy, he never had any identity on offense. He had a conservative offensive approach and was extremely predictable. He was also far too committed to dead-weight coaches and players. I watched him coach for ten years, and he was an excellent college coach as a whole, but I think his transition to the NFL would be nothing short of a disaster.

I think he would be a boring, but average head coach in the NFL. He is a little dated with his idea of beat the man in front of you and pick up yards. The NFL is more about advanced playbooks, double moves and throwing 40 times a game.
His calling for the NFL would have been 30 years ago. Not saying the NFL won't get back to that philosophy, but right now that's not what teams are looking for. |
