I don't see how it's his fault the student died.... he chose to practice in the wind, I'm sure a lot of coaches would have done the same thing... whoever constructed the tower that fell over or whoever conducts the safety inspections are the one to blame.
Jim Tressel was quoted on Tuesday that part of the reason he made practice indoors was because of his video people. “I don’t know if we’ll be inside or out,” Tressel told Ohio reporters 24 hours before the Notre Dame tragedy. “It looks a little nasty. I worry about our cameramen, their well-being up there 50 feet in the air.” Also, the makers of the lift the kid was on provide a warning that no one should be on the lift when winds are over 25 mph. The winds Wednesday doubled that.
Either way, he should be fired for that play call today, run the ball and set up a field goal. Even the announcer thought it was dumb to have a freshman QB try to make a play. Not that I should complain, college football is so much more fun when ND = bad.
