Tressel Enters Ohio State Ring of Honor | Dayton News

Jim Tressel, former Ohio State head coach and now Lieutenant Governor, was honored with a Ring of Honor induction at Ohio Stadium — the first in over a decade and only the third coach to receive it, joining legends Paul Brown and Woody Hayes. The plaque debuted during the Buckeyes’ season opener against Ball State, where Tressel thanked fans and credited God for making him a Buckeye. From 2001–2010, he led the team to a national title in 2002, six Big Ten championships, two other national championship games, and a bowl appearance every year. His record against Michigan? Nine wins, one loss. He also developed 67 NFL draft picks, including 14 first-rounders. This moment solidifies his legacy as one of the program’s most impactful coaches.
