We build contenders with men of character who commit to something bigger than themselves, not just recruits who "bleed" a color. Our entire program is built on developing three-star talent into disciplined warriors who win with execution and heart. Coach Monken and now Coach Tressel have proven systems that win championships at West Point. The idea that another coach could just waltz in and do it better with the same type of player disrespects the culture we've built. We don't just want guys who bleed a color, we build leaders who would bleed for this nation and for each other on that field. That's a difference your rival school will never understand.
