    Graham was realistic for ASU. He was a Texas guy and I believe his wife's family is from Arizona. Its a job he definitely wanted and quickly bolted for.

    CALL JIM TRESSEL.

    I still think somebody should. The man did nothing but win, plus the NCAA is now toothless and everyone knows it. Emmert's a giant pussy. That show cause was peanuts. He'd have missed no conference games.

    He can go to the next team that has the balls to do it and he's going to kill it. Turn it into a Tom Rinaldi redemption story and laugh all the way to the Rose Bowl.

    (Notice how he's won big over an extended period of time at an FBS program?)

    So your only response is Jim Tressel huh?

    I put in the "realistic" for a reason. As Tressel might be good for you and even me we both know that hire would never fly in PC Seattle.

    Which is why even though I loved the idea of Bobby Petrino I knew that was never going to happen either.

    Sure, but he had a CONTRACT!

    Many people have a blind spot for guys who are in positions that are set up for a few years. Graham had just finished his first year at Pitt, and only went 6-6.

    If you'd asked ASU fans at the time to bet on who their next guy would be, how many would've mentioned Graham? He was an out of left field hire.

    Why do I need more than one proven winner who would certainly take the job? The search is over once you offer Tressel a chance to coach again. Guys aren't likely to blow final chances. Has Mike Leach locked anybody in a shed lately? No, but there were plenty of people who thought he was untouchable because he (allegedly) did once. Hasn't mattered a bit at WSU.

    Again, turn Tressel into a story about contrition and you're golden. Load his contract up with defensive ethics clauses to satisfy the PC crowd and they'd come around as soon as the wins started rolling in.
    Jim Tressel on a very tight leash would have been fine here.

    No college football team is touching Tressel with a show cause on his back. Stupid suggestion.

    If you think Tressel was/is a realistic choice you really don't understand the UW upper campus culture, or Pool Boy.
