...would have been suspended by Goodell if it weren't for the Colts 'suspending him' voluntarily.

Love it .... now make it apply to hoops and call it the Calipari Clause

the job is a sham. it's just an excuse to get him in the door with minimal responsibility and eventually get him in a coaching position. Personally, i think he's a great college coach but would fail miserably in the nfl.

Stupid. Suspensions in the NCAA should have no consequnces in an entirely different league.

I agree, but then again, it's not binding, there's no reason not to do it, it's up to Goodell's discretion, so why not?

I agree the job is a sham. I also think Tressel will be a shitty pro coach. I don't think he's that great to begin with, and coaching in the pros eliminates his main advantage: being able to look the other way while his players collect $$$

The NFL and Goodell have a huge interest in protecting the integrity of the sport and it's "farm system."

It's not analogous to a basketball coach in the European Leagues winding up in the NBA and having some transgressions from Turkey follow him.

I think if it applies to the players bolting like T_Peezy then it should apply to the coaches too.
