2. Bad history. Boosters didn't back him up.

I have heard that there’s a very group of boosters who weren’t happy with Tressel. Some group right outside of Columbus- forgot the name. Tressel didn’t kiss their rings enough or at least not in the same way ( they may have been working to get Urban there too) so when the heat came down over what seems trivial now - tattoos- they didn’t back him so OSU didn’t back him and he got shafted.

He has a long good history with the Penguins. Trust me as a Marshall fan they broke our hearts several times.
