Ok, Looks like I can keep adding stats to this post as I finish them. Only problem I lose points for posting. Instead of adding three I’ll only get credit for one. Never will be able to keep up with guys like Mili.
Anyway here is the last of our coaches, #15 through #22.
OK:
Lets start this web site out with a stat you won’t find no where else. No you won’t find it at CF Data Warehouse, 1st –N-Goal, WAJL10.com or at Two Cousins CF Emporium. No you won’t even find it at the Official Ohio State web site or “Bucknuts” (well not for a while anyway, unless the bosses here want to buy my copyrights, LOL.).
We all know that our man Woody ranks 8th. for all-time winning % as a head coach in college. But just how did Woody rank from 1951-1975 while he was the coach at OSU? John Cooper ranks like 17th. all time winning % as a coach, but again how did he rank when only at OSU?
There have been 22 head coaches at Ohio State, I won’t do all 22 at one time. To start out with I’ll do the first 8 coaches. Then maybe you’ll see where I’m going. I will show the top 3 programs during their sprint with Ohio State.
