The Jim Tressel doctrine is set to be institutionalized.

According to ESPN, the former Ohio State football coach is set to begin teaching a course about coaching at the University of Akron this fall. Tressel has spent the last two years working at the university in an administrative capacity.

Entitled the “General Principles of Coaching,” Tressel will team with former Akron coach Jim Dennison in instructing students in a three-credit course that will be held once a week and be open to both Akron students and the general public.

”He gave me my first opportunity to coach,” Tressel told ESPN of Dennison “and he provided guidance that has lasted me a lifetime.”

Tressel spent 10 years at OSU, even winning a national title in 2002, before a wide-ranging scandal involving several players forced him to resign in 2011. As a condition of a show-cause sanction imposed on him by the NCAA, he has been banned from coaching for five years. Tressel was named Akron’s vice president of strategic engagement in 2012 and has also been listed as the school’s vice president for student success on its letterhead.

ESPN added Tressel plans to have current Akron football coach Terry Bowden and men's basketball coach Keith Dambrot speak as guest lecturers in the class.
