Who would play James Patrick Tressel in a movie about his coaching successes?

Matt Damon?

Paul Rudd maybe for the younger parts? Michael Keaton could probably pull some of it off as well. Wow, that's a hard question.

Johnny Depp or Robert Downey Jr. can play just about anyone with the right makeup artist.

Kevin Spacey?

It would be a claymation.

+1 for Kevin Spacey.

Mark Harmon? That would be ironic. I can't think of too many other quality actors who have played QB in the Rose Bowl. They were born only about 15 months apart, incidentally.

There are no Conservatives in Hollywood. None of the aforementioned could pull it off and be believable.

They'd have to go with an unknown, up-and-coming actor.

I don't know, but Artie Lange could play Brady Hoke.

+1 for mark Harmon. I often fantasize it's JT fighting terrorist at NCIS and still coaching Tony DiNizzo to win the day.

I'll go for Mark Harmon also. I can think of a few players (5) who could use a slap up side the head.

It's fish son! You don't smell it. You eat it!

Improbables who may invoke some kind of involuntary reflex reaction:

Kevin Bacon

Dwayne Johnson

Sean Astin

Vin Diesel

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Ellen DeGeneres

Daniel Radcliffe (and playing Mrs Tressel - Emma Watson!)

And, a bit more humorous:

Oprah

Chris Rock

Woody Allen

Conan

Jack Black

Will Ferrel

Steve Martin

And, if only they were still with us.

John Wayne

John Belushi ("Line backer, line backer, line backer!" in full Ninja coaching gear!)

James Stewart

Seriously though,

Johnny Depp - I know you think I'm kidding, but this guy always brings something special to the screen.

If Sean Penn and Paul Reubens combined their DNA the resulting offspring would nail it.

Samuel L Jackson would be perfect. I can see it now, coach why did you opt for 3 points there? Why wouldn't I opt for 3, we got three Mother Effin points against a mother effin great defense.

Coach, how do you feel about your team beating Michigan again? Well, I'm happy, it's the biggest Mother effing rivalry in sports and we just won it. Our boys played great and so mother effin FORTH.
