Just sayin': It's amazing what winning a National Championships does does for peoples' perception of where your ranking is as a college football coach......:cool:

I think Wittingham gets the COY most with less award.

Franklin at 8 is funny. Maybe they forgot the 1 in front of it?

Didn’t know who #20 was. Had to google him.

Urban F. Meyer (3x National Champion, CFB HOF)

Urban Meyer reveals how he violated a 'Gentleman's Agreement' between Big Ten coaches upon arriving at Ohio State​

However, his initial start at Ohio State required a bit of an adjustment. Coming from Florida and the SEC, where everything was hyper-competitive and cutthroat, Meyer had never experienced an honor-based system.

He detailed how an unspoken rule created a mini feud with then-Wisconsin head coach Brett Bielema.

“I leave the SEC, and I come to Ohio State, and there was something called a ‘gentleman’s agreement.'” And Coach Bielema got really pissed off at me when we turned a couple of players. And, you know, I didn’t know about a gentleman’s agreement. I’m not sure what that means. In recruiting, you’ve got to go get players. We had two kids from Ohio committed to Wisconsin, and we got them. We flipped them. And people were saying, Well, in this conference you don’t do that. And I was like, I had not seen that anywhere in my contract,” Meyer said....:lol:

Bielema and Wisconsin eventually alleged that Meyer and the Buckeyes got too involved and committed serious infractions. Former NFL players contacted high school recruits, even during a dead period, but the program wasn't necessarily linked.

Meyer was never found guilty on a bigger level, and at least with this issue, only broke this baseball-like rule. Bielema never went too in depth on the manner, but did at least confirm he wasn't thrilled with Meyer's approach.

"I wasn’t upset with Urban because of a gentleman’s agreement. It was something else that I don’t want to get into. I told him what I knew, and he said he would take care of it, and he did,” Bielema said.
