5. Earl Bruce won almost 80% of his games but couldn't beat the team up north

The Coach Cooper era was when they really became an NFL farm team but he couldn’t beat UM

Tressel was the one that infuriated me. He built a juggernaut of a program at Youngstown State (trust me as a Marshall fan - heartbreakers) and won a National Championship at OSU. As I understand it, he wouldn’t sufficiently kiss the rings of a local powerhouse booster club AND they wanted the more exciting Urban Meyer so they forced Tressel out. The tattoo controversy pales in comparison to others that followed at Ped State especially.

Yeah, the politics of the CFP is obvious. But Ohio State (IMHO) talk about dumping their coach hlthe2b Dec 2024 #3

UC was disappointing and had so many blown opportunities in games, they could have been 8-4 with just a few breaks. Xavier Breath Dec 2024 #4
