Coaches know nothing about State or federal governance. Tuberville and Gym Jordan are examples of disasters in governance..

A football coach's job is to win a game. A business person's job is to maximize profits. A public servant's job is to protect & defend our Constitution and ALL people.

Not at all. Tressel is a regular, normal guy, with conservative views. More of a RHINO by MAGA standards.

I also see this as a strategic move by DeWine, to give a more reasonable alternative to Vivek for Gov.

Tressel is (mostly) loved in OH.

Why do people in completely unrelated jobs with unrelated experiences think they can just step into a position running a state or a country like it’s some lateral move? Like it’s a game that doesn’t impact millions of people’s lives?

Makes me think of a word I heard over the weekend… arrogant: someone who is excessively arrogant in their ignorance who believes they are superior to others…

What the fuck is it with people thinking that coaches are qualified to be in office?

Look at the fucking shithead Tuberville.

Football needs to disappear.

He lied to investigators so he’s no longer qualified to coach in the NCAA but perfectly qualified in this white male meritocracy to be Lt Governor?? Wtf. Reinstating him to his coaching position would do more for the state of Ohio that this tomfoolery.

I had to look twice to make sure this wasn't an Onion article but now that I'm thinking about it, I don't hate it. I don't love it, but I don't hate it. There were way, way worse options.
