And let's be honest here, if Tressel was the coach at Kentucky, they would win the SEC East every year.

I don't think UK would want the NCAA attention that comes with hiring Tress with Cal being there

Didn't Tressel have issues beating SEC teams, especially in important games?

It wasn't just Tressel. It's OSU in bowl games against the SEC in general.

There would be no NCAA lightning rod, and UK would compete within three or four years. But it's a moot point, because there's no chance it would ever happen.

I thought he did, but the article confused me a little as to what that means.
Tressel was hit with a five-year, show-cause penalty for covering up rules violations, using ineligible players and lying to the NCAA. Show-cause penalties are supposed to be poison. Why would Kentucky go anywhere near him?Tressel’s penalty is not as severe as, say, former Tennessee basketball coach Bruce Pearl’s. Tressel is allowed to recruit. He is allowed to hire a staff. He is required to sit out five weeks of meetings, practices and games before he can coach, and he cannot coach a bowl game in his first year — but these are trifles for the likes of Kentucky.

By compete he means not lose by 40 every week.

KY would have to overcome that little NCAA thing called a 5 year show-cause penalty that Mr. Tressel is currently under.

Like someone else said, I doubt that they want that type of scrutiny around what goes on in Lexington with Mr. Calipari currently there.....

Why would they want to be worse than they already are?

Better chance of Luke Fickell going to UK than Tressel.

This has been talked about before. I think it could happen, and there are some discussions about the NCAA sanctions and discussions about it being reduced. We'll see.

UK is an interesting job because they have a boatload of money to throw around. It's just a matter of whether they will put it towards football. Many have said they can get a huge name coach if they upgrade facilities, recruiting budget and the stadium. All have the capability of being top tier in the SEC. If they do, I see them going all in on everything. If not, WHICH IS LIKELY, they will settle for a coordinator or lesser-known coach and continue the below average cycle.

I see the Petrino talk has started too. Tressel would get tons of Ohio kids, especially with Urban not emphasizing Ohio recruiting as much. Kentucky would grow quickly.

I do think Urban wants to recruit nationally more than Tressel did.

Probabaly, but I have to believe he'll emphasize Ohio just as much. Not only is he from here, I'm sure he knows the dearth of talent here. He may have a larger recruiting radius than Tressel, but I'm confident he'll go after the in-state talent just as hard as JT did.

Of course he will, but there are only so many schollies available. Tress could definitely get a few top tier, and quite a few 2nd tier guys out of Ohio.

As will Meyer. The biggest difference is that UM, in addition to getting these Ohio kids, will also get more of the 'top tier' guys from out of state, something Tress didn't do consistently.
