Tressel Out!

Jim Tressel has resigned as the head football coach of The Ohio State University.  Following months of cover-ups and revelations of impropriety by the coach that returned the program to the national elite, Tressel submitted his letter of resignation on Monday.  I guess Ray Small was in his dog house for a reason.

Luke Fickel, already tabbed as the head man for the first five games of 2011, will serve as the "interim" head coach for the entire season.  According to Tressel's contract, the university does not owe the former skipper any severance, either in dollars or benefits, in the event of his resignation.

Hopefully this move will quiet the media storm surrounding the situation and allow Fickel and the team a measure of calm to prepare for what is sure to be a harrowing fall slate.
