From Fired To Hired: Some Thoughts On Jim Tressel To The Colts

No Photoshop here. I swear.
Before I get started with today’s rant, let me take my foot out of my mouth and eat some crow. In last week’s article, I un-famously stated that Jim Tressel would never take a job in the NFL and would probably be prowling the sidelines for another college team in the near future. I really just thought he was a college gut for life and was probably just sitting out the year to gauge possible openings throughout the NCAA. Imagine my surprise when just a few short days later our former coach signed on to be the “replay consultant” for the Indianapolis Colts.

First of all, what does the title of “replay consultant” entail? It sounds like a pretty cushy job to me. Do you just watch replays and help determine if you throw a challenge flag during the game? Are there any other duties in the day-to-day operation of an NFL franchise? Is there ANY way a 30 year old BGSU graduate working in a mediocre financial job can apply? Let me know if there is and my resume will be in the mail post-haste.
