OK ...Another question for the LSU fans ...?

Re: Tressel and Top 5

Don't bring in his 4 titles from Youngstown, remind be but wasn't the NCAA all over him for recruiting violations there? Also, I seem to remember more then a few disciplinary issues involving his teams. So excuse me for not bowing down. Tressel has 1 National Title... so does Pete Carroll, Mack Brown, Bob Stoops, Nick Saban, Phil Fulmer, Urban Meyer, and Bobby Bowden.

 

Crow eating...

I will come back to visit win or lose...I promise.

 

Did you ever see Jamarcus Russell when Saban was coaching him? Nobody was accussing him of being a future number 1 overall pick back then.

 

Re: Tressel and Top 5

4 titles at YSU, played in the championship 6 times...and above all else he is known for his integrity...he has never been associated with any NCAA violations. Every team full of 17-21 year old has discipline issues at one time or another. Carroll, Stoops, Tressel, Richt, are among those I would say are top coaches currently...

 

Re: Crow eating...

Good!

Lets say we win, The Average CLM will have beaten in one year 5 of the best coaches in college football. Beamer, Saban, Myer, Spuirrer and Tressel. Some would even throw in Fulmer.

 

I agree Saban not known for his QB prowess...more a defensive guy.

 

Re: Crow eating...

I will give him his due...absolutely

Youngstown State University

At the end of the 1985 season, Jim Tressel left OSU to become head coach at Youngstown State University. His first season as coach was one to forget, as Youngstown State finished the season with a 2-9 record. In his second year as head coach, the 1987 season showed an extreme turn of events for Tressel. Youngstown State finished the season with an 8-4 record and won the Ohio Valley Conference championship. From 1989-1994, Youngstown State would play in the Division I-AA National Championship game four times. In 1991, Tressel won his first National Championship, defeating Marshall; the victory made him and his father the only father-son duo to win National Championships in College Football. However, YSU was placed on probation due to players, including their QB Issacs, receiving cash payments from boosters, in violation of NCAA rules.
YSU won two more National Championships in the following three years: Against Marshall in 1993 (who had defeated them in 1992) and Boise State in 1994. 1997 brought Tressel his fourth National Championship with a tight 10-9 victory against McNeese State. He earned his 100th win against Indiana State. 1999 marked Tressel's 9th visit to the Division I-AA playoffs, but the team lost to Georgia Southern in the title game. 2000 presented Tressel with more success, leading Youngstown State to a 9-3 season and its 10th playoff appearance. During the 1990s, Youngstown State had a record of 103-27-2, the most wins by any Division I-AA team and fourth most of both Division I-A and I-AA combined. Tressel's overall record at Youngstown was 135-57-2. There were a number of NCAA violations while Tressel was at Youngstown State. While investigations did not reveal anything specifically targeted at Tressel, both he and YSU were sanctioned for violating the NCAA CONSTITUTION 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.8.1 and 6.4.2, known as Lack of Institutional Control.[2]
