Polian in the news release said"We have informed the
league office of our decision and expect that they will be supportive of it. We
are very happy Coach Tressel will be joining us."
Coach Jim Caldwell said Friday that the new role Tressel was
a position he wanted to fill in recent years.
Tressel was actively seeking employment after resigning from

had been in practice in Cleveland and Indianapolis Colts recently attended
