Back in 2003 I moved to Seattle from Ohio. I was young, missed home, and sent Coach Tressel an email out of the blue to just say thanks for doing such a great job as a coach, and especially doing it with a bunch of Ohio guys. He actually replied to a random fan email. That meant a lot even if it wasn't much. Will always be THE Coach of the Bucks for me.
This interview was too short. Coach Tressel is a man I can listen to for hours. In fact, I have! He's one of very few people that can have me took forward to driving up to main campus, and sit at The WHAC in the butt rack of dawn, to be reminded of Macte Virtute! You're still awesome, after all these years, Coach Tress!
Salty azz Cryami fans! They conveniently forget about all the crap call against OSU throughout the game! Cryami hasn't been the same since! Hahahahahahaha
Gruden’s love for football is unmatched. Whether he’s breaking down the art of punting or the OSU vs. Michigan rivalry, the guy is laser-focused and absolutely lives for the game.
Little known fact. Back after Coop left OSU, the fans were in an absolute FRENZY because Jon Gruden was spotted in the Columbus airport during the coaching search. Then, we ended up going with an unknown division 2 coach? Well, I guess it worked out alright for both parties! Love seeing these 2 guys sitting together. And I love that Jon always looks like he is 2 seconds away from jumping out of his chair and eating someone! No idea if he ever actually interviewed for the job, or if it was circumstance.
Tressell is my guy! I loved Coach Tress. I was in college at Wright State in 2002 when the Buckeyes made it to The Fiesta Bowl and played for the Natty I was there. Always been a Buckeye fan.
As a Michigan fan trust me when I say Tressel deserves more credit for Ohio State’s current place in college football than Meyer. Meyer took their recruiting to another level of but Tressel built the foundation. 1 title and 3 appearances and was getting them to a point where they could compete with the SEC when tattoogate forced him out
Early Gruden subscriber here. This got me excited. Great interview. He should focus on interviewing old coaches and former players. This is good good stuff man.
Gruden got a raw deal! A total hit job. His passion and rabid desire for football is unmatched! Hes a Buckeye! As a member of a family from Sandusky and a student at Huron High I bet John G ate at my family’s famous Berardi French Fry stand at Cedar Point and Berardis Family Kitchen in Sandusky!
I grew up at the tail end of the Cooper era and all of the Tressell era, Tressell has always been my favorite OSU coach and probably always will be, he had a different mind and could get much much more out of his players that even they knew they were capable of, he also played that tough defensive and run it down your throat style of ball that the B1G used to be well known for. I honestly believe he could still coach right now, if his health could stand it.
I once heard an interview with Tres where he talked about his 1st year as OC at Syracuse. He said he called an off tackle play that gained 8 yards. Called the same play, they got 12 yards, called it again, they got 9... said the HC asked him, hey coach, you got any other plays? Tres responded, "Yeah and I'll call them when they figure out how to stop this one". Way too many coaches today outcoach themselves. It's like they HAVE to do something different. If I have a play you can't stop, I will run it to death!
My granddaughter graduated from Youngstown state. And my daughter her husband and my granddaughter got a chance to meet Jim Tressel he was the president at that University at the time. I had a chance to go and watch her graduate and could have met him as well. But my health was not with me and allowing me to. I would have loved to have shook his hand and thank them for beating Michigan those years he did. And it's good to see Jon Gruden back in the Limelight
Whenever you're style of play is so good and so classic that it's literally named after you, Tressel Ball lol Love Coach Tressel was extremely upset especially the way and reason he was dismissed as coach and in fact there was only one way in the world that was going to heal that wound and of the year Fickell coached was to hire Urban Meyer and the results speak for themselves... Meyer is a Saint, but Tressel is an Ohio State Legend! Those 2 guys are 7-0 and 9-1 respectively and that's all I have to say about that...
There needs to be a part 2 interview. I hope Jon is able to bring his college coach, Mike Kelly, in for an interview. Mike is probably the only coach that can match his intensity and enthusiasm for football.
Tressel giving us an undefeated national title is still crazy to think about. Against arguably the best team to ever touch the field in college football in terms of NFL talent.
One could say many great things about JT, but what I respected the most about him was how he cleaned things up at OSU. Before him, OSU players routinely filled up the police blotters. He pretty much shut that down. Also, he made me appreciate "Tressel ball". I hated it but learned to understand it.
Yep !!! Ohio is represented, o would say, better than any other state when it comes to college coaches, broadcasters, ex coaches, NFL coaches . Across the board
I could listen to The Coach tell stories and talk football until he ran out of things to say. Hayes/Tressel/Meyer. The pinnacle of OSU Football for 70 years. Day..? Well, we'll see...
Tressel set the modern standard for what we as Ohioans and OSU fans expect the team to do against Michigan every single year. Urban Meyer carried that standard to perfection. That is why I am sick and tired of hearing about Ryan Day's "winning percentage" as OSU's head coach. We don't care if they go 11-1 and win a Championship every year (which Day isn't doing, either) if that one loss every single year is to Michigan. Either throw the entire GDP of a small country at Meyer and try to get him back as our head coach or go out there and find the next Tressel or Urban Meyer and get this program back on track against the cowardly cheaters from up north.
Only 17 minutes is criminal. I could listen to these two talk ball for hours.
Seriously!
Ong
Ong. Such dynamic personalities
Agreed

He replied to mine too! Back in that time period. He took time for fans. Great guy!
Bucs
He’s the man

You're still awesome, after all these years, Coach Tress!
Coach Tressel is the GOAT! Love the interview!
Tressel is an absolutely gem of a human being. I would send my son to play for him in an instant.
This is a crossover I never thought I'd see. My favorite Coach of all time in Tressel. Really appreciate this one!
That 02 championship still gives me chills thinking about it. Some of the best football I've ever watched.
Flag from heaven
@@captlucky232018 point favorites shouldn’t rely on no flag 🤣🤣
Salty azz Cryami fans! They conveniently forget about all the crap call against OSU throughout the game! Cryami hasn't been the same since! Hahahahahahaha
@@captlucky2320Cry. It wouldn't have even gone into OT if replay reviews existed.
@captlucky2320 Gamble was held and would have gave them a 1st to run clock out prior to all that anyway if we are playing that game.
Gruden’s love for football is unmatched. Whether he’s breaking down the art of punting or the OSU vs. Michigan rivalry, the guy is laser-focused and absolutely lives for the game.
Crazy as a buckeye and raider fan never thought I would see Gruden and Tressel in the same room
Bring Tressel back for an hour long episode
I agree 100%
Literally my two favorite couches. I am an Ohio State fan and Raiders fan. I could listen to these two for days!
This comment tracks.
So it's the Raiders part of you that can't spell?
"My favorite couches"?
Just playin my guy. I know how spell check be doin us. Lol
@@brentwebster3751 lol 🖕 You're not wrong
GOAT!!!! I loved his press conferences in his sweater vest at the podium that looked presidential. Love the Youngstown State Y on the vest as well.

This could be 8 hours long and I would watch it

One of my best memories was watching the Buckeyes win the ship under Tressel .
What an absolute legend. Thank you for all great memories Tress. #FearTheVest
Jim is my number 1 OHIO STATE COACH,
Loads of respect for this great coach.
I’m a Michigan fan but I’ve always respected Tressel.
An awesome interview,with 2 of the best!!Thank you for sharing!!Go Buckeyes
Gruden got a raw deal! A total hit job. His passion and rabid desire for football is unmatched! Hes a Buckeye! As a member of a family from Sandusky and a student at Huron High I bet John G ate at my family’s famous Berardi French Fry stand at Cedar Point and Berardis Family Kitchen in Sandusky!
Love Coach Tressel. He’s a legend. O_H!!!!
12 year old me and 30 year old me love this.
I remember back when he was hired and I was like - WHO? Now he's my favorite they've ever had - Ohio State fans STILL love Coach Tress! Total class!
Great seeing these two great men talk
That was a great Segment, very well done
Tress is the man he can teach you anything
Love you Coach Tressel
Coach Tress and Coach Gruden each have their own podcast… what an era of sports and entertainment we live in 🙏🏼
More of coach Tressel!!!
leave it to Tress to tell him where he actually started his college career. lol
Great interview! Go Bucks

Love the original sweater vest ! Two great coaches talking. This should be at least an hour
I love Tressel aka the ‘vest. Great coach. Great guy.
I'd watch this if it was 6 hours
I love all our old coaches Tres was the man. Remember him dressed just like that leading the team out. Respect.
tressel is the 🐐. go bucks
Saved, but wish I could save it as my #1. Thanks Coach, for all you did and all you do.
Tress with some Jordan flights on… Unmatched swag. 🐐
Good stuff. 2001 OSU buckeyes championship was epic. That game vs Miami had so many legendary future NFL players
I met Jim, when he was a coach at YSU in the 80's, we new the Penguins were Champs
Coach Tress talks,I listen!
Tress is my guy! Always will be #1 in my ❤! Go Bucks!!

My dad played for Frances Schmidt at OSU.
What an honor. Whos your dad?
Sweater Vest and Chucky in the same room together. Did not expect that.
What a epic pull
Coach Tress has Jordans on 😂😂😂
Gotta love the Senator. Thanks for the 9-1 TTUN record and 2002 Natty. Go Bucks! O-H
There needs to be a part 2 interview. I hope Jon is able to bring his college coach, Mike Kelly, in for an interview. Mike is probably the only coach that can match his intensity and enthusiasm for football.
Thx coach m
Bro walking from Dallas to Houston is messed up 🤣
Thats a insane walk lo
Coach Tressel is not only one of the greatest Coaches of all time. He is one of the greatest Men of all time!
Tressel giving us an undefeated national title is still crazy to think about. Against arguably the best team to ever touch the field in college football in terms of NFL talent.
Tress with the Jordans GOAT
a walk from dallas to houston 😵
I love that this came out 5 weeks after the game was played 😂
The GOATS!!! Yes love listening to Tressel!! OH
I see Jon, I click. Go Bucs!
Tressel is awesome!!!

two of the goats!
Pretty sure Jim came out of the womb wearing a sweater vest, long sleeve white shirt with gray hair and glasses. He doesn't have lol.
Fear the Sweater Vest..... Mr. Tressel is The All Time Most Respectable Head Couch at Ohio State.
This is incredible. Jim Tressel IS Ohio State. Go bucks
Has to be some big networks that sit down and think. How could we miss Jon Gruden. Rodger godell? Come on you F....... P......
Viva la stool💪.
Wonderful❤
I have more respect for that man in the sweater vest than I do for most people I know
couple ohio rooted guys
Yep !!! Ohio is represented, o would say, better than any other state when it comes to college coaches, broadcasters, ex coaches, NFL coaches . Across the board
@@ChrisMo16 completely true
Oh thank you even better yeah Michigan fan like to forget all that😂
Let’s go!
THE SWEATERVEST IS GOAT 🐐
I cannot agree more!
@ i never knew i was witnessing the best OSU coach of all time when i was a kid. i sure do miss him.
Tressel always had great kickers.
For punishment, make him eat a dozen Maze & Blue donuts 🍩.
Very similar voices.
Love Tressel
feeling nicey
Jim understood the game and what it meant
I could listen to The Coach tell stories and talk football until he ran out of things to say. Hayes/Tressel/Meyer. The pinnacle of OSU Football for 70 years. Day..? Well, we'll see...
The GOAT
Gruden 😂. Great coach!
Jim Tressel is Ohio State’s 2nd best coach of all time behind Woody Hayes
God damn Jake. You have to put a headset on so you can fix that mic. Step up
Jim could’ve been who people think nick Saban is BUT THE TATTOOS
Both of them should be coaching still
I got goosebumps
11:34 Ohio’s Tate having to walk from Dallas to Houston if the buckeyes lose. That’s a 5+ day walk haha
I’m just putting this out there Ryan Day to NFL Mike Vrabel to Patriots Jon Gruden to THEE Buckeyes 😉
No way
@ 😎OK
Go buckeyes!!
Kinda sad Gruden will never coach in the NFL again.
Tressel set the modern standard for what we as Ohioans and OSU fans expect the team to do against Michigan every single year. Urban Meyer carried that standard to perfection.

Wow, way too short~
