Not from the Onion: Jim Tressel teaches a class called “Principles of Coaching”...
“If we could have your attention please …”
Jim Tressel stood in front of a room filled with close to 100 people, ranging from college girls to retiree-aged men. It was impossible not to notice his sweater vest was absent. The only ring Tressel wore was his wedding band. Things got quiet, fast.
This was the first week of “Principles of Coaching,” the class Tressel and Jim Dennison are teaching in Leigh Hall at the University of Akron. Dennison is the winningest coach in school history, going 80-62-2 over his 13-year tenure with the Zips.
Tressel is an imposing presence on Akron’s campus. His new title, Vice President for Student Success, means he has his hands in every department of the university. He’s constantly speaking, meeting with people and offering suggestions. He’s a coach in every sense of the word, even if he doesn’t roam the sidelines anymore.
“I have been fortunate enough to get my education all around the world,” Akron Department of Sport Science & Wellness Education chair Dr. Victor Pinheiro said, “and I’ve had the best of teachers. I’ve worked with Nobel Laureates and all that good stuff. And [Tressel] stands right up there with them. The knowledge base he brings to this domain is just amazing.”
