Yeah, Coach Tressel went back home to coach football and they made him the university president. It wound up being a great ending to his story.
I always liked that guy. I sort of equate him to Coach Stallings in that the players changed somewhat while he was coaching, and he was a bit of a victim of circumstances that he couldn't really control. Yeah, may have gone a little far trying to protect his players, but there was a time when all coaches did that and they didn't have to worry about an all-encompassing media digging deeper and reporting the falsehood. Guys like Coach Saban understand a lot better how the media works than did Coach Stallings, and I think that Tressel falls into that same category.
