Because it doesn't matter if YOU don't care. The coach has to recruit 17-18 yr old kids. We have enough recruiting disadvantages. Tressel will be 63 in December
I can't even believe you guys are arguing for that guy
He'd put us on probation with loss of bowl. That would screw over the seniors. How would that affect team chemistry and season tic sales?
1) He's served most of his time, he would almost for certain receive leniency and have final year of bowl prohibition eliminated.
2) With Dana leading the team, chances of making a bowl game are already very slim next year to begin with. Lose a lot from defense + same ineffective quarterback + harder schedule. OOC is no automatic 3 wins next year as it was this year. BYU, Missouri, solid Youngstown State led by Bo Pelini, etc. Texas Tech is gonna be far better next year especially with that young qb they have and winning in Lubbock is no easy challenge. Texas will only improve and that game is in Austin. Play at Iowa State who has show signs of life this year and Ames is no easy place to play either. KSU will be better next year because their track record proves that. They are having 1 bad year for the 1st time in awhile but they did lose some talented key players on offense last year. Oklahoma State will be much better under a more experienced Rudolph and that game is in Stillwater. Oklahoma will be tough with their qb having another year of experience, plus we have never beaten them in conference play. Baylor will be Baylor, high powered offense. We beat them in the past at home but it's always a challenge and they are going to have a high powered offense with Russell or this other young talented quarterback. TCU does lose Boykin but that will be a tough game.
Schedule is far tougher next year. Winning 6 games will be a struggle. Hell, winning 6 games has been a struggle past 5 years.
