PLAYERS: Jim Tressel
TEAMS:

As reported earlier on Sports@Work that Jim Tressel maybe interested to be the next head coach at Akron. 97.1 FM radio in Columbus, Ohio reports that Jim Tressel has no interest to be the head coach at Akron but will help the University in its search for a head coach. Hiring Tressel to an NCAA job may be difficult in the near future as schools will have to appear before the NCAA to explain why they are hiring him. The NFL is more likely an immediate destination if Tressel wants to get back into coaching.

Report: Tressel to meet with Akron

Jim Tressel left Ohio State amidst a whirlwind of scandal, but now, less than a year later, he may return to college coaching, in the state of Ohio. 

Ohio State Hires The Family Guy

Ohio State hired well-known Family Guy Peter Griffin Urban Meyer on Monday to coach its football team. Less than a year ago, Meyer stepped down from his post at Florida to spend more time with his family. Apparently, that family is incredibly boring. Or maybe they smell funny. Either way, coaching the Buckeyes gives Meyer an excellent opportunity to spend no more than two hours a...

Urban Meyer’s Time at Ohio State will be Short but Sweet

On Monday the college football world finally got the news it had been anticipating for several weeks now as Urban Meyer was officially named the head coach at Ohio State.  Meyer takes over a Buckeyes’ program that is still facing NCAA sanctions after Jim Tressel, Terrelle Pryor and company left the football organization just a shell of its former self.  Meyer brings with him...

Five Burning Questions: You Can't Get Enough Of Urban

As a resident of Ohio and not a Buckeye fan, it's easy to get overloaded on Buckeye news. On Monday when Urban Meyer replaced Jim Tressel (or Luke Fickell) as the OSU coach, the news was fed to us at a gluttonous pace. My partner at Eye and Eer, Phil Shie, is the Ohio State half of our blog, and he couldn't get enough Urban news (and he still can't). So it didn'...

Column: New Urban Meyer, but same old problem

At least they got their stories straight, which is no small accomplishment given the recent histories of both Urban Meyer and Ohio State. Even as he was introducing the Buckeyes' new head coach Monday, athletic director Gene Smith went out of his way to say their first real conversation about the job was eight days earlier, and Meyer confirmed it a few moments later in response...

State of Ohio becomes OSU's again with Meyer

Considered a "rock star" among college football coaches, Urban Meyer is bringing his act to the Big Ten after accepting a six-year, 24 million offer from Ohio State earlier this week. On the surface, it appears to be a big-time hire, but questions remain: Is this the same passionate coach who won two national championships at Florida, or is it the guy who burned out...

State of Ohio has become Buckeyes' again

Considered a "rock star" among college football coaches, Urban Meyer is bringing his act to the Big Ten after accepting a six-year, 24 million offer from Ohio State earlier this week.

Meeting Of The Minds: What Is Urban's Upside?

Hello Columbus! After a week's worth of flirting, heavy petting and sneaking around behind their parents back, Urban Meyer and Ohio State are now, finally a couple. I'm pretty sure they made it Facebook official and everything just moments ago. But now with that, the fun part begins: How good will Urban Meyer be at Ohio State, and how long will it take to get them there...

Ohio State bets on Meyer not bailing again

(Eds: With AP Photos.) By RALPH D. RUSSO AP College Football Writer Ohio State needed to go big. Not even a home run would do. This coaching hire had to be a grand slam. Introducing: Urban Meyer. And the crowd goes wild. After a year that has produced almost nothing but bad news in Buckeyeville, Ohio State fans are celebrating the arrival of their new two-time national champion...

Urban Warfare

In the aftermath of the Jim Tressel saga back in March, I wrote that what happened to Ohio State wasn’t good for the rivalry. Obviously, a blatant disregard for the rules had to be punished and the dismissal of Tressel was the right thing to do, and further NCAA sanctions should be handed down. But the fact that our bitter rivals went on so long with such a culture of corruption...

Urban Meyer Ushers In A Completely New (and Different) Era at Ohio State

On Monday, The Ohio State University formally introduced Urban Meyer as the 24th head coach of the school’s football team. The hiring of Meyer certainly swept in a general feeling of ecstasy among the Buckeye faithful. Just two days removed from the humiliating culmination of the season from hell, in the form of a bitter loss to hated rivals Michigan, fans of the scarlet and gray...
