James Patrick "Jim" Tressel is an American college administrator and former college football coach who served as head coach of the Youngstown State Penguins from 1986 to 2000 and the Ohio State Buckeyes from 2001 to 2011, winning five national championships between the two schools. Tressel is currently the president of Youngstown State University. He was born in Mentor, Ohio and attended Baldwin?Wallace College, where he played football as quarterback under his father. He was hired by the Ohio State University prior to the start of the 2001 season to replace John Cooper. During his tenure as Ohio State's 22nd head football coach, Tressel's teams competed in three BCS National Championship Games, and his 2002 squad won a national title, achieving the first 14?0 season record in major college football since UPenn went 15?0 in 1897. However, while NCAA investigated into violations involving OSU football players during the prior 2010 season, Tressel resigned from OSU as head coach in May 2011. The investigation resulted in OSU self-vacating victories from the 2010 season.
