Jim Tressel teaching coaching class at Akron

It's now Professor Tressel.  
Former Ohio State coach Jim Tressel will teach a course this fall at the University of Akron, where he has worked in an administration role for the past two years.  He will instruct students in "General Principles of Coaching" with former Zips coach Jim Dennison, who was Akron's coach when Tressel began his coaching career at the school as an assistant in 1974. 
"He gave me my first opportunity to coach," Tressel said, "and he provided guidance that has lasted me a lifetime." The three-credit course, which will be held once a week and run into December, will be open to Akron students and the general public. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/bigten/2013/08/20/jim-tressel-ohio-state-buckeyes-akron-zips-coaching-class-professor/2679665/ 
Needless to say this is the dream class of every straight, male, enrolled at a united states college. Once a week. Three-Credits. Football. Something tells me Tressel isn't reading the weekly assignments due either.

But poor Akron football fans. They have a guy teaching a one day a week class, that is hands down better than the person who is actually coaching the football team. Since 2010 Akron football has won three games. That's right. They have won three fucking games in three fucking years! And the outlook doesn't get much better, as they are likely to lose the first three games of the 2013 season. That's including James Madison, a I-AA/FCS school, who will most likely be a favorite to beat the worst team in college football. And it only gets worse. The Zips are actually paying James Madison $200,000+ to embarrass them. I bet you Terry Bowden becomes a student in Tressel's class by week 4.
