Is Jim Tressel worth the risk?

Tress would no doubt builder a winner any place he went, but he has said many times that his coaching days are over. He loves being a university president. If you want serious contenders for a coach you should hire someone like Luke Fickell or Ed Warinner.
Yes he did build winners , but Youngstown St lucked out not getting clobbered by the NCAA for violations under Tressel because the statute of limitations ran out when they found out Tressel and Youngstown didn't investigate the violations they were supposed to and the NCAA took their word nothing happened. Later ( after Tressel left) found out violations occurred and too many years dad past to punish Youngstown or Tressel.
Do you really think that show cause was just for what happened at OSU and the next school Tressel coaches won't be nailed hard the first time Tressel does something , even a minor violation would get the harshest penalty possible because of the NCAA don't want Tressel coaching, but can't stop a school from hiring him.
Man, did you just say a mouthful. I can't believe how the NCAA backpedaled on the punishment they originally gave Pedo St. yet Tressel's keeps going on and on like the Energizer Bunny
