Watching BTN after the replay of last year's OSU/MSU game where they interviewed Dantonio and he mentioned that he had coached under Earle Bruce. I knew Urban had but not Dantonio. Urban came two years after Dantonio had moved on. This made me research coach Bruce's coaching tree. Also hired by Earle Bruce were Dom Capers, Pete Carroll, Glen Mason, Nick Saban and Jim Tressel. There are a few National Championship and Super Bowl ring(s) in that list.
I am sure there are many of you that knew all of this but I did not and I was impressed. Coach Bruce was a hell of a football coach but he may have been an even better judge of coaching talent.
