Don't Start the Tressel Bashing!

I guess it is to be expected - already bashing the coach!  I understand the desire to win every game but you can't criticize Coach Tressel's record.  The program has been successful, Coach has been to the BCS Championship game 3 times and won one of them.  Only two other coaches have done that.
What alot of people are questioning is the offensive coordinator position and I will say.... I called all the plays in my 13 years of high school coaching and all the years as a college head coach, obviously with input from the assistants, but if I couldn't call the plays, I WOULD QUIT COACHIING.
It is unfair to compare the current coach to former coaches as well.  Times have changed, as have the duties of a college coach now.  I had to have tunnel vision on the game only to be successful.  Now adays coaches are fundraisers, atheletic directors, public relations figure heads, etc.
Coach Tressel is doing a great job - he has a winning percentage against Michigan - which was what we all wanted.  He won a national championship, something the previous two coaches didn't do.  And he has a Strong Administration who is supporting him.
Let's refocus on winning the Big Ten - and GO BUCKS!!!
