Which TOSU head football coach was the sharpest dresser?
Few men have ever looked sharper in a fedora than Earle Bruce. Especially when dotting the 'i' at 85 years old.

For all his faults I always feel like Earle was my coach. Just the age I was during his tenure I guess.

Cooper was something that was done to me.

Tress,Urban and Day are just coaches of my favorite team. Love them when they win but the only guy I like even at 9-3 was Earle.

Just sayin': His 1st year as head coach was undoubtedly his best year. With Woody's players he went 11-0 (#1 in the AP) during the regular season and probably lost a National Championship to USC in the Rose Bowl 16-17. After that he turned into "9-3 Earl".

When coach talked to me about playing at Ohio State one day during a passing camp I was at, it made him so much more than the others for me. Now obviously that didn't happen and I never met Cooper into long after he scarred me for life so it's definitely Earle for me too.

I will say though Tressel is a hell of a man and coach and we'll always hold him in high regard for saving us!
