Sisyphean Bills Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Probably just feeling the waters for his buddy Polian.
BuffaninATL Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Tressel is not from the SEC. I would believe Gene Cizik, but not Jim Tressel. yeah, Chizik makes sense, he just got canned by Auburn......
NoSaint Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 that product we've been stuck with for 13 years isn't incredibly disrespectful???? Rob J, Losman, Bledsoe, Trent, Fitz, should I continue. it does suck, but it would be beyond outside of the norms of the NFL for coaches not only to be contacted this early, but brought to the sidelines of a game if they are planning a firing/hiring in a couple weeks. it would be absolutely embarrassing for the franchise to pull a move like that. if anything, i would read this move- atleast initially - as making it possible to scratch these two off the list should the job open up in january.
stony Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 RE: Dabo, it's more likely Jimbo had to do some damage control for his knucklehead nephew. Probably took him hunting.
NoSaint Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 RE: Dabo, it's more likely Jimbo had to do some damage control for his knucklehead nephew. Probably took him hunting. between that and spiller breaking out this year, he has a lot of reasons to stop by buffalo.
cliffordhicks Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 ABC! ANYONE BUT CHAN!!! Tressel w/ an innovative offensive mind as his OC and I am for it. But it aint happening. Buddy is h$ll bent on sticking w/ Chan & probably Fitz.
judman Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 He was meeting George Siefert at the airport Did you get that from the limo driver?
Luxy312 Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 I wouldn't mind seeing Tressel coach the Bills next season. It also wouldn't hurt my feelings if the old man finally turned over the team to new ownership (Jim Kelly & company). It's a long time overdue!
JPS Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 yeah, Chizik makes sense, he just got canned by Auburn...... Don't you get it?? He would be cheap!! (no response necessary - I am totally kidding....kinda)
boyst Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 I love the vest but I do not want him HC in the nfl.
aristocrat Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 With the success of Pete Carroll I'd love to see Tressel here. Its funny how he was an offensive guy but those Buckeye defenses were legit and they knew how to run that ball down opponents throats.
Maguire's Beer Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 RE: Dabo, it's more likely Jimbo had to do some damage control for his knucklehead nephew. Probably took him hunting. I imagine that Nix tried to get Dabo's take on whether Tajh Boyd is coming out. He projects as a good fit in Chan's spread.
dogman Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 He's on a secret assignment trying to find out why Gailey and Fitz are coming back next year. Latest rumor is that Fitz is Buddy's secret love child, and Gailey found Buddy's wallet and won't give it back. Tressel is on secret assignment from the league to find why Gailey and Fitz have guaranteed jobs next year. Latest rumor is that Jim Kelly has asked Buddy to drive the price of the franchise down so he can buy it.
aristocrat Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Isn't Kelly's nephew going to clemson as well? Not sure why Tressel would be there though
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Tressel had a daughter that went to RIT, I'm sure she's graduated by now, (she was there around 5 years ago when my daughter attended) but maybe a younger sibling is there now, so was in the neighborhood. She was a photo science major, recall hearing how she'd bring in for projects sideline photo's from OSU games, that was how she "outed" herself. I belive Tressel was even the commencement speaker the year his daughter graduated. Or maybe the daughter now has a Rochester connection??
rick in hartford Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 it does suck, but it would be beyond outside of the norms of the NFL for coaches not only to be contacted this early, but brought to the sidelines of a game if they are planning a firing/hiring in a couple weeks. it would be absolutely embarrassing for the franchise to pull a move like that. if anything, i would read this move- atleast initially - as making it possible to scratch these two off the list should the job open up in january. brilliant...the colleges are scooping up the available coaches as we speak. If the best we can do is a college level hire, we'd better start making move now. Nobody is owed anything, Chan knows the score. Think BOD's don't interview for new CEO before the current one is dismissed. Its' this logic that we'll debate watching the LA Bills waiting to cross the old peace bridge!
Lv-Bills Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Dabo was on WGR. He was here to see Spiller. He was the interim coach at Clemson when he developed a strong bond with Spiller. He was going to be in New York City the next day as well. He came to see him last year, and had a good time. He said he loves the atmosphere, brought his two sons (I think), and wanted to watch CJ. He also said he'll be coming back next year as well. He bought a bunch of Bills gear for his kids in the Bills Store.
TheBackupQB Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 I am a huge Buckeye fan, and even tho we now have Urban Meyer is still breaks my heart that damn tatt's ended Tressel run at Ohio St. He is rare coach, he is a motivator, a winner, and knows how to adjust and to maximize the talent placed around him... One season he was heavy with running the ball... Then another season it was about the deep ball ... Then another season it was more of a west coast play-action offense ... While always engaging the defense ... It is different coaching men, than college students...but he bring soo much confidence and poise ... Things like this would make you excited about BUffalo Football ... Its not likely to happen but if it did WOW!

Its' this logic that we'll debate watching the LA Bills waiting to cross the old peace bridge! nope - i understand you might be making a few behind the scenes phone calls to friends or talking to your agent about a few people he might also represent. bringing him in for photo ops on the sideline is absolutely outside of what is considered a respected way to treat a current coach. it would be 100% out of bounds to pull. like i said, i would read this as "no interest in tressel to return as coach in a couple weeks."
Marv's Neighbor Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 It would be incredibly disrespectful to have those guys there if for coordinator or head coach feelers. I think it was simply social That's the kind of "social" meeting where you want to get there early, to get the seat in the corner, to cover your back!
