To this day, Woody Hayes remains the standard by which all Ohio State coaches are measured. His victories are almost double any other OSU coach’s total. Hayes’ teams won 13 Big Ten titles and were consensus 1954 and 1968 national champions in that poll era. Hayes, whose hiring from Miami University was not universally applauded, was a character and...
Yes, we know his dismal record against Michigan (2-10-1) and in bowl games (3-8). But John Cooperracked up a lot of victories in Columbus. Ohio State hired Cooper from Arizona State, and after a subpar first season, the Buckeyes regularly were at or near the top of the polls. He built on what Earle Bruce had done modernizing the Ohio State offense....
After the failures against Michigan under his predecessor, Tressel’s embrace of that rivalry made him a fan favorite from the start. His domination of the Wolverines clinched his status as one of the best coaches in Buckeye history. Some derided “Tressel-ball,” with its emphasis on field position and the kicking game, but the results spoke for them...
Meyer was the first Ohio State coach who was already as big as the program when he arrived. The Ashtabula native coached Utah to an undefeated season and won two national titles at Florida, one coming in a stunning rout of Ohio State. After a year off coaching, a refreshed Meyer led the Buckeyes to wins in his first 24 games. In 2014, he directed O...
It’s a thankless task to follow a legend, but Earle Bruce was the right man for the moment. Bruce was a Hayes protégé and similar in philosophy. He was just as passionate, though not prone to the outbursts his mentor had. Bruce’s first team was his best. Not much was expected of the 1979 team, but it went undefeated in the regular season before b...
The longest-serving coach other than Hayes, Wilce led the Buckeye program into prominence. He coached Ohio State to its first three conference titles, and its first win over Michigan in 16 tries. That came in 1919 thanks to the heroics of the school’s first real star, Chic Harley. The following season, Ohio State went to the Rose Bowl for the first...
Schmidt propelled Ohio State into the modern age of college football. His teams featured an innovative offense featuring plenty of razzle-dazzle. Schmidt won two Big Ten titles. He might be most famous for his quirky personality and his elevation of the Michigan rivalry. Ohio State’s tradition of giving gold pants trinkets to the team following win...
Day had never been a head coach before he arrived in Columbus as quarterbacks coach and co-offensive coordinator. But he impressed Urban Meyer and others so much that when Meyer was suspended for three games in 2018, athletic director Gene Smith bypassed former head coaches Greg Schiano and Kevin Wilson to name Day acting coach. The Buckeyes won th...
Herrnstein was the most successful of Ohio State’s early coaches, none of whom lasted too long. Herrnstein was a star player at Michigan under Fielding Yost. Ohio State hired him in 1906 and he led the Buckeyes to an 8-1 record, its best season ever to that point. The only loss came to Michigan, and his Buckeyes were 0-4 against his alma mater. For...
Willaman was a star fullback at Ohio State in 1911 and ’13. Hired by John Wilce in 1926 to be an assistant coach and eventual successor, Willaman took over in 1929. His last team was his best one. OSU went 7-1 in 1933, outscored opponents 161-26, and shut out five of them. The Buckeyes’ only loss was a 13-0 loss at undefeated Michigan. But that los...
