Rumors are swirling that the former Ohio State head football coach was seen with Bruins athletic director Dan Guerrero on Monday.

Contrary to earlier reports, Jim Tressell is reportedly not interested in taking the head football coach job at the University of Akron, but he will allegedly assist the school in its search.

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.
