Woody Hayes:

"When you pass the ball, there is only three things that can happen, and two of them are bad."

That was about as bad an opener as we have ever played. When you get into the passing game, you can expect that sort of thing to happen.

The minute I think I'm getting mellow, I'm retiring. Who ever heard of a mellow winner?

"Success - it 's what you do with what you've got.

Any time you give a man something he doesn't earn, you cheapen him. Our kids earn what they get, and that includes respect.

"I've had smarter people around me all my life, but I haven't run into one yet that can outwork me. And if they can't outwork you, then smarts aren't going to do them much good. That's just the way it is. And if you believe that and live by it, you'd be surprised at how much fun you can have.”

Paralyze resistance with persistence

That was almost an impossible catch.

"Without winners, there wouldn't even be any civilization."

"There's nothing that cleanses your soul like getting the hell kicked out of you."

"Some people change, and some people change too late, and then you have a problem. Like the one we had back home in Newcomerstown when they had to give up driver's ed in the high school because the horse died."

"I don't apologize for anything. When I make a mistake, I take the blame and go on from there. I just despise to lose, and that has taken a man of mediocre ability and made a pretty good coach out of him."

"You can never pay back, but you can always pay forward."

"I don't live in the past. I'm a student of the past, and I try to learn from the past, although some people will say, 'You haven't done a very good job of it.' But for me to live in the past? Hell, no.'"

Woody on Bo Schembechler: "We respected one another so damn much. Now that doesn't mean I didn't get so mad at him that I wanted to kick him in the, uh, groin."

"You don't get hurt running straight ahead... three-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust offense. I will pound you and pound you until you quit."

"I'm not trying to win a popularity poll. I'm trying to win football games. I don't like nice people. I like tough, honest people."

"Eliminate the mistakes and you'll never lose a game. To eliminate mistakes, you have to pick the right QB. And the pass is a weapon of surprise -- don't overuse it."

"I love football. I think it is the most wonderful game in the world and I despise to lose."

Nominating this one for future inclusion:

"A win over Meatchicken rights all wrongs, keeps Earth on its proper orbit, eases international tension and slows global warming." - Ben Hartsock

Personally I found his quote offensive.

I appreciate what he did as a player, but that does not give him the right to trivialize the importance of the OSU - Michigan game.

“Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.”
― Lou Holtz

Note: He was an Ohio State assistant coach in 1968 and the Buckeyes won the national championship during Holtz's season with the team.
