New UC defensive coordinator Mike Tressel 'fired up' to be back 'home' with Bearcats

Mike Tressel posted a photo to Twitter on Thursday of his wife, Megan, and their two children, Logan and Quincy, sporting Cincinnati Bearcats gear.

The photo, T-shirts and cheerleading dress are from about 15 years ago, when Tressel was the University of Cincinnati football team's special teams coordinator and linebackers coach (2004-06).

Shortly after Tressel posted the photo of his family donning the "old school C-Paw," the longtime Michigan State assistant, sporting a red Bearcats pullover with the new, revamped C-Paw, was introduced as Cincinnati's new defensive coordinator.

"(I) just want to start out by saying how fired up I am to be back," he said.
