Ohio State Athletic Director Gene Smith talked this afternoon by a recorded three minute message on Youtube video about today’s resignation of football head coach Jim Tressel.
Smith stated that Tressel and himself met after a vacation for the former head coach on Sunday. It was then that the former leader of the Buckeyes indicated that it was time to step down from the program.
Smith and Tressel then met this morning, in which at that time Tressel handed in his official resignation notice.
Following his resignation, Tressel addressed part of the team. Members of the squad that weren’t around were told of the news via phone from their current position coaches.
Luke Fickell was then asked to become the interim head coach of the team for the upcoming season. Fickell was also able to give some words of advice for his team.
