Nation, just so you are clear. Had Ron Strollo said "no" to Bo. Pelini would not be here right now. Tressel is so far removed from Sports at this point and you obviously have no idea.
You are the same people that said Strollo should keep a short leash on Wolf ..well he did & you still complained about the one year extension. Strollo's leash on Pelini is even shorter.
As detailed above, Tressel had an active and vital role in the recruitment of Pelini.
We should be glad that Strollo didn't say "no" to a winning BIG coach considering an FCS school???
What??!!
Even by Strollo standards that would be a whole new level of ineptitude. If he did such an outlandish thing, he should have been immediately terminated and unemployable as an AD anywhere.
I agreed w/ the contract extension of the Wolf (and wrote about it on this forum) as the Wolf record was one of continual progress. I agreed w/ his termination....but began to have second thoughts when Strollo was courting candidates w/ inferior records to the Wolf. It would have been insanity to replace Wolf w/ an inferior product with an inferior resume.
